I've found the most dependable way to be "Pretend you were
talking to an IBM machine".  This is useful because everyone has to
send tapes to/from IBM machines on occasion, so every major
operating system can do it.  This means you make a (boring)
non-labeled tape, LRECL=80 (80 column card-images), some blocksize
like 1680 (multiple of lrecl anyway), and maybe even EBCDIC if you
have to.  On UNIX, you use the DD command; I don't know anout VMS.
