I've seen footage of a machine that folds the paper sleeve and then the record drops directly into it. I suppose that kind of machine can't handle a poly lined paper sleeve. Otherwise it can't be much to do it properly but the whole business seems to be about pennies. Over time it's out me off certain types of releases. The glossy sleeves that major labels like to use for big artists are horrible. I always add japanese type anti static liners to my records having cleaned them. Most of the dust on a record in a paper sleeve comes from the cutout hole edge.

Paper sleeves are one of my annoyances with new vinyl. The record is usually glued to the paper sleeve with static, and then gets scratched when pulling it out of the sleeve for the first time.
Surely poly lined sleeves don't add that much to the cost?
