The studio also has a site on the X City webpage along with other members of the Kuki group of companies where on-demand videos are featured.14 About 16 new videos are issued monthly by Max-A under its various labels.15 Labels In addition to the Samansa, Calen and MAX-A labels, the company has also used several other labels over its history. VHS videos made under the Calen label used production codes of the series type XC-1001 and Samansa-labeled VHS works used the XS-2001 type series. Gash VHS videos utilized the XG-3001 series. When DVDs came into production, the company used production codes of the XV-001 type under the MAX-A label and when VHS tapes were discontinued, the Calen and Samansa labels were no longer used.
