Betamax Slipcover Dimensions

A slipcover for Betamax cases. Betamax cassettes are smaller than VHS, so the case and its wrap are correspondingly shorter and narrower.

Printing

Recommended paper
Matte cardstock, 300 gsm

Folds cleanly and holds its shape around a case. Sometimes sold as 12pt or 100lb cover, but searching by gsm is more reliable. Lighter stock folds more easily but feels flimsier; score the fold lines first so 300 gsm does not crack.

Fits on
Letter, A4, Legal, Tabloid, A3, 13×19
Scaling
Print at 100%

“Fit to page” and “shrink to fit” resize the artwork, so the finished piece will not match these measurements.
