Most tapes from this duplicator do not have any form of printing on the cassette.
Numerous tapes from this duplicator have a record tab intact.
The picture quality of some tapes duplicated by this company can be kind of horrible.
Numerous tapes from this duplicator also had a few extra seconds of black screen following the blank space at the end. While the "fading rainbow" does not usually appear at the end, it has a rumbling sound during the first few seconds of the tape in the linear track. However, some tapes with this credential had the "fading rainbow" at the beginning of the tape.
Several tapes from the late-1990s/early 2000s have the static roll of death at the end.
Tapes from this duplicator do not have anything in the vertical blanking interval.
Many tapes printed here, especially those by UAV/Sterling, have a noticeable faded sticker face label and some tapes have the face label printed off-center.
Some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tapes sold through the Burger King Kids Club said "U" (for parent company UAV Corporation) on the face label.

Some tapes duplicated here tend to wear out very quickly due to how cheaply they may have been made, even if there's nothing wrong with the cassette shell of the tape or the playback machine.^[1]
As a consequence, it is generally recommended that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video collectors not purchase Burger King tapes duplicated there; the general consensus is to get tapes duplicated at either High Speed Video or West Coast Video Duplicating instead.
This company was one of the very few prerecorded media duplicators that even offered stocks of blank tapes.
