TIMELINES & DEADLINES:
Most Dubbing Projects take between 2-3 weeks to complete, from the day your order is placed until the day it is shipped to you. 
Please note there are no Rush-Jobs available, and that placing an order WITH Printed J-Card Artwork & Hand-Painted "Side-A" Sticker Labels WILL TAKE LONGER than orders without them.
Orders are processed on a first-come-first-served basis. Please keep in mind the potential queue before placing an order.

MUSIC, ARTWORK & COLORS:
Tapes must be between 20 - 60 minutes in length.

We base our measurements for your album art on the standard 4" x 4" cassette J-card. Our J-Cards are printed on 100lb Gloss-Covered paper, then scored & packed flat.

Click HERE for the 3-PANEL J-CARDS templates that we use to measure / adjust your artwork before production (courtesy of the homies at Cryptic Carousel).

"Regular" Shell Colors (Black, White, Yellow, Red, Green, Blue) are generally always available, though if for some reason the color you're looking for is low in stock I will attempt to reach out via email to let you know.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE WE DO QUALITY CHECKS BEFORE SHIPMENT, MISTAKES WHILE DUBBING CAN OCCUR; If You recieve an order with a majority of faulty and/or poor quality tapes, send me an email so we can communicate, get your tapes returned back in, and we will send a fresh batch out to you free of charge!
