Abstract

A magnetic tape cassette, for example an audio cassette, which is distinguished by an attractive outer appearance, consists of a bottom part and a top part, transparent in each case, and contains inside it two adjacent tape rolls. The bottom part and the top part each have a transparent housing wall having transparent or slightly colored regions and opaque or untransparent regions. The untransparent or opaque regions are produced by printing surface areas of the cassette housing walls including the application of various patterns and/or colors.
