Just like a tins of beans or soup, but with a tape inside, for small run orders of 20 items or more
These printed metal cans perfectly fit a cassette tape without rattling about at all and require the customer to actually open the pull lid of the tin in the same way you would a tin of beans. We do however provide a plastic lid that can then go over the open end of the tin to close it off again after use.
The cans come with your own full colour label stickers on the outside of the can and a printed and recorded cassette tape inside. These cans are more environmentally friendly than a standard cassette case as they use much less plastic as they are nearly all metal and the metal can be recycled if required.
The tins come to use with a pre-sealed lid, but a pop-in metal base (that can’t really be removed once popped in), so if you do wish to include other items in the tins (badges, inserts, guitar picks etc) then we can leave the bases off and you can then pop them in once you have added the additional items.
The cans measure 105mm high, 73mm in diameter and are equivalent in size to a 400ml can.

Additional info
Do you need a barcode?
If you will be selling your discs 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 disc packaging artwork. 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.

Have you considered NFT tag stickers?
If you would like customers to be able to tap your cassette tape, CD, USB, VHS or just about anything else on their Android or Apple phone to open up a web page, music video, specific Spotify artist page, album or track then just include NFC (Near Field Communication) tag stickers with your order and we can then apply them to your product.
These tags measure 19mm x 12mm in size, use an NTAG213 chip with clear PET and a strong adhesive back. They have a strong field for their size and are very durable.
