Deductions from above pricing

If you don’t require the printing or audio on the cassettes then please deduct the following from the above pricing:

Printed labels only on one side of the tapes: £0.10+VAT less per cassette
No audio on the tapes: £1.00+VAT less per cassette

On-body cassette shell printing – new options!

We can now offer full colour, white, black and even spot gloss on-body cassette printing with the same turnaround times as stickers and with the option of printing over the full surface of the cassette as shown in the example on the right. Our new in-house printer is a state-of-the-art UV LED printer that is very high resolution and prints incredibly hard and durable inks directly onto the tapes in vibrant colours. There is a small additional fee for the on-body printing, but it is now priced per tape (rather than a fixed setup cost for printing plates), making it more economic for shorter production runs.

Some examples of our work:

Shrink wrapping

If you would like your cassettes in a clear wrap for a glossy protective finish that is ideal for retail environments or presentation purposes then please add £0.10+VAT per tape for a shrink wrap.

The yellow areas show the artwork area to be printed. Please select between standard printing or full coverage printing when downloading a template (the prices vary depending on coverage, please see our on-body printing pricing table). Generally if printing on anything other than white, cream or grey tapes, we will add a white base layer beneath colours so that the colours come out accurately and are not affected by the shade of the tape shell behind. If you would only like a partial white layer or would only like your artwork to be printed in white then please supply a separate copy of the artwork for the white layer only (with white print in the file name so that we can easily identify it as being a white print), with the white area to be printed using a solid black colour (essentially white colours are never printed in artwork and for us to print a white base layer we load up a specific file with the black in the file representing the white layer to print). The same is true if you would like a spot gloss layer applied, please supply another copy of the file with gloss print in the file name with the black area showing where the gloss should be printed. This may mean that if some areas are just printed white, some areas are full colour and some bits have a spot gloss then you would need to supply three different artwork files per side, one for the white, one for the colour and black areas and one for the gloss areas.

The journey of a cassette tape during manufacture

Have a quick tour in less than a minute through our cassette tape production process at Band CDs.

Footage taken and produced by the very talented folk at https://mescaline.co/

Chrome tape option

Unfortunately we are currently unable to wind tapes with higher quality chrome 'Type II' tape as the world has basically run out of it and it hasn't been produced for many years. We ran out of stock in early 2019. Our current tapes are however being wound with a higher quality and thicker 'super ferric' tape that is close to chrome in terms of quality.

If chrome reel does end up being manufactured again then we will of course start adding it as an option.

How are the cassettes recorded and what is the quality like?

We record all of our tapes in real-time from a master CD for the best sound quality. We run twenty eight active decks, allowing us to record over fifty tapes at a time and the decks are regularly serviced and calibrated to keep them in the best recording condition.

Click here to find out more about the setup and some the technical specifications that we work to.

Important note about the tape styles that we stock

Blank cassette production worldwide is very limited and stocks of our coloured tapes can be restricted and cannot be guaranteed, so please check before ordering as some are discontinued styles that may not be available again. However conversely, some new batches are produced from time to time, so we may be able to source alternative styles or other colours if required.

Special offer on cassette tape presentation frames

When placing a cassette order with us, you can get 50% off our cassette tape presentation frames when using the tapes from your order and being ordered and delivered at the same time as your main tape order. The frames are fully finished, ready to hang and include additional copies of your release and can even be provided with a full colour printed metal plaque with your artwork on to celebrate the cassette release or as a memento for the band members. The frames can include both a copy of the tape and also the packaging and are available in black or white borders with black or white backgrounds.

Add some full colour printed guitar picks

When placing an order with us, why not add some custom printed guitar picks with your band logo on? The picks are available in different thicknesses for acoustic/electric and bass guitars and also lots of different base colours. We can then print full colour on-body artwork with partial white base layers and spot gloss layers if required. Ideal for not only playing with, but also for merch stands, added value online CD/cassette/vinyl sales or freebies for fans.

Click to find out more about our full colour printed custom guitar picks

Do you need a barcode?

If you will be selling your cassettes through a retail store then you will probably need to register a unique barcode for your release and apply it to the rear outer artwork of your product to make it possible for them to sell via their product barcode scanner.

In Europe we use the EAN 13 barcode system and in North America the UPC system is used. We can register an EAN 13 barcode for you and embed the barcode graphic within your cassette packaging artwork for just £12+VAT. The only information that we will require from you will be the name of the band/artist and the title of the release, then just leave a suitable space in your artwork and we will register the barcode and add it to your artwork for you, all for just £12+VAT.

For further information about barcodes, please read our barcode FAQs.

Delivery

What our customers say

4.9/5.0 on Facebook

The process of ordering custom printed and dubbed physical media can be intimidating at first, but the guys over at BandCDs are top notch. They are the real deal and they are reliable and trustworthy for projects this big. Their printing quality of J-cards, cassette tapes, and dubbing, is second to none. Highly recommend them!read more

This is the second time that Chasin' the Train have used Band CDs - the first was for our initial EP, 'Off The Rails' - and they were again more than helpful and great to deal with. We decided to produce our debut album, 'Dead Man's Handle' as a digipak CD because there are still people who like to have the physical product in their hand. Band CDs did an excellent job of transforming our ideas in to reality - there have already been a number of positive comments from pre-order purchasers - and we can only see that continuing.Thanks again for all your guidance - now to write the next album ... 🚂🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️read more

Can't recommend these guys enough. I worked closely with a chap called Michael at BandCDs on a small batch of cassette tapes. He was an absolute legend! His meticulous attention to detail was unlike anything else I've experienced from any of the printers/manufacturers I've dealt with in the past at other companies. He ensured that certain elements of the design lined up and also bent over backwards to make sure the colour of the printed J Cards matched nicely with the colour of the plastic cassette. Top this off with an extremely quick turnaround, high quality products, great sounding audio and all at the lowest price I could find anywhere online and you can see why it's smiles all round in my house! Great job, thanks again all! :)read more
