Line 26:
* Tapes duplicated by AstralTech (formerly Pathé Video) prior to 1995 have a coloured sticker, usually white, on the tape guard. These stickers always have SKU numbers on them. Sometimes they would have a red ink side label number and/or a handwritten title label number.
** Tapes duplicated in the early 80's also have the distributor's name on the sticker.
* Most tapes duplicated by Pathé Video may have an abbreviation engraved on the left/right side or back of the tape.
** For some distributors, there may also be a month-year code engraved next to it (e.g. RCP 5 4 = May 1984).
* In the fall of 1994, AstralTech printed out print dates on their tapes that were similar to the ones on those duplicated by Technicolor.
