The latest Premiere Video pressing I've seen of a Sony Wonder tape was from 1998, say like The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street.

* Tapes printed from the mid '90s and onwards would have a bunch of numbers, including a side label number, engraved on the left side of the tape.
** Tapes printed for RVSA customers had the information etched onto one side of the cassette shell like this, for example:
 
: '''MCA-423-22837'''
 
*** Some tapes simply had the RVSA initialism (e.g. '''RVS''') etched onto the side.
** Tapes printed during the last few years of this duplicator's existence would additionally have an inked barcode with a whole lot of numbers (including the tape's catalog number or some elements of the title on some tapes), printed on the tape guard.
* Starting around the early 90's, some tapes (mainly EP/SLP tapes) had a set of eight numbers in the vertical blanking interval, usually with a clock next to it. These tapes had a few additional seconds of black screen following the blank space at the very end, accompanied by a rumbling sound in the linear track. On some SP mode tapes from 2000-2001 with these credentials in the vertical blanking interval, the static roll of death appeared following the blank space at the very end, while it appeared before the blank space on several other tapes. Some early tapes with these credentials do not have any form of printing on the cassette, but starting a few years later, some tapes with the normal printings of the time had these credentials (mainly EP/SLP mode tapes, although this sometimes happened on SP mode tapes as well).
