Compact Tape Slipcase Dimensions
A top-load slipcase for the small camcorder and audio tape formats — VHS-C, Hi8 / Video8 / Digital8, MiniDV, DAT and full-size DV — sized for the bare cassette or for the cassette in its clear library case.
Measurements
- Default flat size
- 6.74″ × 4.97″(171.2 × 126.1 mm)
The default fits a bare VHS-C cassette. Presets cover VHS-C, Hi8 / Video8, MiniDV, DAT and DVCAM, each as the bare tape and as the tape in its library case; the whole die scales with the case, so any size in the range prints as a miniature of the VHS slipcover.

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.
