A: Most vinyl media packages have two types of vinyl: a hard inner layer that protects the media and a soft, flexible exterior. When exposed to changes in temperature (particularly when exposed to colder temperatures), the soft vinyl will expand and contract, while the stiffer vinyl doesn't expand or contract as much. The end result: a cracked spine. (Ouch!)
This exposure to temperature change usually happens during shipping, when your vinyl packaging product is placed into trucks and cargo-holds that don't have climate control.
To help maintain a pristine vinyl binder, let your vinyl packaging slowly return to room temperature before you use it. Leave the products in their case for one or two days in the area which you'll be using them.
