Chrome Type II J-card template

Premium hi-fi tape styling: a brushed-metal band with the minutes in big numerals, an analogue VU meter and a tidy spec strip.

Spine and flap
The title reads down the spine, and the tracklist runs down the flap, Side A at the top.
Inside panel
A recording index with a small spec table (tape, recorded, by) above the credits.
Good for
Careful recordings, studio sessions and anyone who likes the technical details.

With an inside panel

Choose With inside panel above the card in the designer and it gains a fourth panel, the same size as the front, that folds in behind the cover. On Chrome Type II it carries a recording index with a small spec table (tape, recorded, by) above the credits.

It still prints on one side of the paper, so there's nothing to line up. Add a dedication, notes or lyrics, and credits in the designer's More options.
