The traditional packaging for a cassette is a hard plastic box (Norelco box) with inserted printed album art. Our variety of templates allow you to create a unique package for your cassette release. You may also choose the O-Card, the common packaging sleeve for a “Cassingle” or the Norelco box sleeve which slips over a Norelco box.
National Audio prints J-Cards in six configurations: 3-Panel, 4-Panel, 5-Panel, 6-Panel, 7-Panel and 8-Panel. We can also produce U-Cards in 3-, 4- and 5-Panels. All can be printed full color, full bleed both sides on heavy stock – 4-C process colors only. O-Cards are printed one-sided on card stock. Please refer to the Artwork Guidelines for how to use templates and submit your artwork for production. You can also download a Duplication Guidelines document for reference.
