MASTER FORMATS
Acceptable Master Tape Formats

Help us to duplicate for you a cassette of exceptional performance that Cassette Works is known for, by providing us with the best source master available to you.

Our mastering facilities can handle most types of mastering formats. These include: audio-cassette masters; compact disc; and wav files.

Your master(s) should be "program-ready" and with the time for each side given.

When uploading files, send either two complete files (one for each side) or a file for each track (be sure to give a listing of the tracks in order). Avoid using Rapidshare or mediafire for uploads. Try a better service like wetransfer.com, dropbox.com, yousendit.com or sendspace.com for quicker results.


ADDITIONAL ONE-TIME CHARGES
Imprinting

Currently (November 2023) we have the following color shells:
  • Clear

We also have a premium colors as available, for an additional .40 each:

  • White
  • Black
  • Solid Pink 100 on hand
  • Solid Green 100 on hand
  • We can special order most solid and transparent colors. Please inquire

For best results, the Clear and translucent color shells should be printed with white or light color inks as they have a black liner.

If a color becomes unavailable we will substitute a tape color as close to the one you requested at our discretion. For example, a translucent blue may become a solid blue or we will allow you to choose another color.

Imprinting is included in the above duplication pricing.

When designing your label art, keep in mind that reverses do not reproduce well. All art must be in black on a white background. The black will be printed in the color you select. Also, fine lines, screens, and text below 8pt does not reproduce well.

Below are templates for cassette imprinting in three formats:
