Record Foundry · Cassette Production

Cassette editions for artists, collectors and limited physical releases.

Cassette works best as a deliberate format: compact, tactile and highly customisable. SKELVAR coordinates tape duplication, shell treatment, print and J-card packaging around the release rather than treating it as novelty merchandise.

Physical music, properly managed

Format, manufacture, packaging and delivery in one production brief.

No public factory pricing and no anonymous catalogue hand-off. Every project is quoted against format, quantity, runtime, colour, packaging, finishing, current production capacity and destination.

01

Tape duplication

Production is configured around the supplied programme length and final audio master.

  • Album and EP releases
  • Real-time or high-speed duplication pathway
  • Side A / Side B programme planning
  • Test cassette pathway
02

Shell design

The cassette body can become part of the visual identity of the edition.

  • Selected shell colours
  • Direct shell printing
  • Printed label pathway
  • Clear or opaque options subject to availability
03

J-card packaging

Multi-panel J-cards give the cassette room for artwork, credits and release information while keeping the package compact.

  • 3-panel and extended J-card pathways
  • Artwork templates
  • Case assembly
  • Limited-edition coordination

Production pathway

Compact format, complete edition.

Programme length, duplication method, shell availability and artwork all affect the final specification. We lock those decisions before the production run is released.
