Just like vinyl records, the Cassette tape is making a huge comeback. And why not? It is portable, doesn’t easily get damaged and some people claim they sound better. They definitely have a “cool” factor! Add to the mix that cassette tapes come in a variety of colors, recording lengths and there are so many choices in packaging!

Cassettes look good on the merch table stacked next to your t-shirts and CD’s. They are fun to hold and they still sound great! Not to mention, they are selling in the millions. When Urban Outfitters and Guitar Center are carrying cassettes as normal inventory, you better believe there is a profit margin somewhere. Here are 5 companies (large and small) that can help you get your next project on tape!
