The Duplication.ca Guide to Cassette Box Sets and Double Cassettes

Posted on July 4, 2019 by duplication.ca

Do you have an album so big that one cassette alone could not possibly handle it? Double cassette releases are always exciting, but how do you go about packaging them? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back.

Multi-Cassette Box

This sleek design works like a Norelco case with the two cassettes sitting side-by-side. Its longer length makes it size comparable to that of a CD case, making it easy to store and easy on the eyes. An extra large double-sided J-card allows you to go nuts with the artwork, pack in as much detail and information as possible!

View the double cassette boxes on the online store

Our triple cassette boxes are even longer in length but keep the same width. Unlike the double cassette boxes they do not have posts.

Cassette Albums

If you’re a fan of the classic audio book packaging style, look no further than our cassette albums. These packages contain a transparent wraparound film for you to slip in a larger trapsheet in lieu of a J-card. We even have albums that hold up to EIGHT CASSETTES, if you can believe it.

View our wide selection of cassette albums here

Double Norelcos

Double Norelcos are exactly as they sound– two Norelcos joined at the hip! They open on both sides “butterfly style,” meaning it facilitates two J-cards. This is perfect for releasing two separate albums that require different artwork in one package.

If you’re planning a run of 100 units or more, take advantage of our special offer. 100pcs for $60 CAD / $45.50 USD!

Printed Slipcases

Last, but certainly not least, we have our cardboard slipcases. These 15pt boxes can hold up to four cassettes with Norelco cases, which make them ideal for career retrospectives. They’re printed and assembled in-house, so not only do they go under our rigorous quality control, but we pass the manufacturer-direct savings on to you.

Take a look at our Printed Slipcases options

At Duplication.ca, no cassette release is too big or too small for us to handle! Don’t forget that in addition to great packaging and printing solutions, we offer high-quality cassette duplication services so your cassettes sound amazing on any stereo.

Cassette Round-Up: May 2019

Posted on June 4, 2019 by duplication.ca

Every day when we walk into the Duplication.ca offices we’re greeted with a pile of awesome cassette releases waiting to be mastered and duplicated. This May we still found ourselves in a transitional stage between a never-ending gloomy winter and burgeoning hot summer. In other words, a great month for zoning out to broad range of music blasting out of our cassette decks. Here are a few of our favourites:

Various Artists – “The Mondrians” c42 + c46

A double cassette release featuring an incredible line-up of ambient-electronic composers (Ian William Craig, Norm Chambers, Connect_icut, Alexandra Spence, to name a few) interpreting the works of de stijl artist Piet Mondrian. Packaged in our awesome side-by-side double cassette boxes.

Kool G Rap & 38 Spesh – “Son of G Rap” c56

38 Spesh and Kool G are looking to bridge generations of New York rap bringing out certified OGs from N.O.R.E. to Dipset-affiliate Vado. NYC hip hop is alive and well on this album. Limited edition tapes came with gold horizontal obi-strip.

Benjamin Hinz – “DEEP” c22

If you like your psychedelic rock brooding and slow, like it’s struggling breathe under the pressure of the ocean’s weight, then check out this 22 minute ripper. Housed in our customizable printed Maltese Cross cassette boxes.

C. Reider – “…a trustable cloud” c54

Composed entirely out of free sound banks, instruments, and effects processing available in web browsers. It’s an outsider electronic trip, with the J-card artwork suggesting that this is the soundtrack to a Google Deep Dream.

Surachai – “Come, Deathless” c62

Mixing elements of industrial, power electronics, and even acid house, “Come, Deathless” is richly textured and may scare you half to death. Sounds like Autechre woke up in a miserable mood.

Duplicate Cassettes at Home with Duplication.ca

Posted on May 30, 2019 by duplication.ca

Turn your home into a Duplication Station through Duplication.ca!

When you’re running an indie music label, every penny matters. Duplicating tapes at home is a great financial solution for those who aren’t afraid of rolling up their sleeves and recording by hand. Duplication.ca has all the accessories you need to package great looking and sounding cassettes in the comfort of your living room!

Blank Cassettes

Goes without saying that the first two items you’ll need are a cassette deck and cassette tapes. To say that we can supply with you with cassettes is an understatement— we have dozens of different shell colours and models to choose from and we can load them to the exact length of your album. Our normal-bias tape is intended to handle loud music, allowing you to boost the recording volume a little bit more before distortion.

Take a look around our blank cassette page and find which colour suits your music best!

Tab Plugs

Those who are experienced with multi-cassette duplicators know the hassle of placing scotch tape over every tab-out cassette and subsequently carefully peeling them off. For only $2.50 CAD Tab Plugs are a simple and inexpensive solution to this issue! Just pop in the plugs and your cassette recorder will override the tab recording lock.

Add Tab Plugs to your cart today!

Cassette Labels & J-Cards

Open up your image editing application and get started on designing your cassette label stickers! Our online shop is stocked with blank stickers for you to print at home on laser or inkjet, or you can cut out the middle man and we’ll print your labels for you!

View our Printed Cassette Labels options

We also have blank J-cards which pre-perforated for easy folding. You can design your cover using our downloadable templates and print directly at home or the photocopier. Like the cassette labels, we can also print and cut your J-cards using our high-quality laser press.

Tape Deck Maintenance

You’ll want your cassettes to sound as good as they look, so it’s important to regularly clean and maintain your cassette deck. We have specialized tools in our online store for this exact purpose, such as our Level Calibration tape, Speed Calibration, and Cleaning Fluid. You can make your recording and playback decks sound brand new, and fix detrimental issues like wow and flutter.

View our Cassette Maintenance products

All that being said, we have the equipment and facilities to supply wonderful sounding cassettes with gorgeous packaging. Our recording decks are fine-tuned to provide loud playback with a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. If you want the best, look no further than our cassette duplication services.
