SKELVARRECORD FOUNDRY
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.

These are illustrative SKELVAR Record Foundry release designs created to show format, genre, colour, packaging and collector-edition possibilities. Final artwork is supplied or approved by each customer and production specifications are confirmed per project.
Physical music, properly managed
Format, manufacture, packaging and delivery in one production brief.
Every project is quoted against format, quantity, runtime, colour, packaging, finishing, current production capacity and destination.
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
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.

Make the manufacturing decisions before the files go to production.
These guides explain the choices that most often affect format, artwork, quantity and production planning. Final templates and factory tolerances are issued only after the exact production route is selected.
How Record Foundry works
SKELVAR manages the production path. Specialist manufacturing partners make the physical product.
We do not present Apollo as the owner of a pressing plant. SKELVAR acts as the project and production-management interface: qualifying the release, coordinating the selected manufacturing route, managing specification and proofing, and keeping the physical formats aligned through production and delivery planning.
Production-ready audioFinal masters are supplied by the customer. Vinyl cutting and production-mastering requirements are confirmed per project.
Manufacturing templatesArtwork is prepared against the selected format, packaging and finishing specification before production approval.
Rights controlledThe customer must own or control the rights needed to reproduce the submitted recordings, artwork and other supplied material.
