Printing: Covers (J-card)

The most common audio cassette outfit is a plastic box with cover artwork. Normally we print two-sided J-cards on glossy paper of 150 g/m² density. But we can also offer a choice of other materials: glossy or matted paper from 80 to 300 g/m² density. And if you want to add durability to your artwork it can be laminated (matt, gloss, touchcover). The most popular formats are 1—3 panels, but we can produce other formats up to 10 panels and even more, feel free to contact us for prices and templates. Below you can find the most popular templates.
