VHS Tape Duplication
We offer VHS duplication services using new high quality Maxell® and Fuji® blank media. You have a choice of spine labels: a color University of Delaware logo with two lines of black text or a plain label with two lines of black text. At an additional cost, we also offer full design services to create a label with your company or department printed in full color. You can also choose to have the tapes boxed in white paperboard sleeves for added protection. We can complete most orders in a few days.
