paper sleeve

Flat protective envelope

A paper sleeve is a flat protective covering made of paper or thin cardboard, typically open at one end.

The term most commonly refers to the jacket holding a vinyl record, but extends to any similar enclosure: CD sleeves, coffee cup sleeves, packaging for documents or photos.

The album's original paper sleeve had lyrics printed on the inside.
