Cassette supply chain issues

February 7, 2022 5:56 AM

Vinyl production has been delayed for months. Is there a similar delay for cassettes? If I wanted to release a cassette, when should I put in orders and how long would I have to wait?

I would doubt there is a cassette delay - totally different process and materials than vinyl. The fastest you'd find out though is to contact individual companies for production schedules.

Unsure on your location, but it appears there is only one manufacturer left in the USA that makes audio tapes. Their website is a little old school so it looks like you will have to contact them directly for info.

Tons of companies will do duplication for you though. The link above is if you were dubbing them yourself.
