Line 76:
*** Some factory sealed copies of early-to-mid-1990s and 1998-2005 tapes have a blue or white Deluxe Laboratories "Film Reel" watermark logo on the plastic wrap, in place of the distributor watermark logo. The logo is usually on the back of the packaging.
* Tapes duplicated in Mexicali from 1987-1995 would have a visible blend sticker plastered over the back of the packaging that says "Made in Mexico." After 1995, the notation would be printed underneath the label on some sticker-label tapes.
* EP mode tapes duplicated at Rank-Deluxe from mid-1997 to 2001 have a code on the vertical-blanking interval of the screen at the beginning of it, consisting of two sets of five numbers. These tapes had the white screen test pattern only at the end.
