25/03/2014 10:22

Custom flash drives are starting to become a popular trend in the promotional industry. So much so, that big promotional companies try to sell cheap, one option USB drives. They typically are poor quality, the printing fades and that consumer never orders custom USBs again.

However, many consumers don’t know their options when they go looking for custom USB drives. Most people think that you can only buy plastic flash drives that are printed on and some of those people won’t purchase USB custom shape drives for that reason alone.The truth is, you have to know your options when choosing a USB provider.

 

A good USB producer will offer a large variety of USB drives to choose from including:

  • plastic
  • leather
  • wood (beechwood, rosewood, maple, bamboo, walnut)
  • recycled drives
  • chrome
  • steel
  • rubber PVC

Not only should the producer offer a variety of drives, but they should offer a variety of branding for those drives like:

  • CMYK full color photographic printing (typical printed USB drive)
    • can be good quality
    • some colors may be faded or not exact to your pantone colors
    • can scratch off or dull over time
  • Screen printing
    • durable
    • bright colored
    • color matched to your pantone colors
    • ink is laid on and pulled off, stacked effect
  • Pad printed
    • very durable
    • color matched to your pantone colors
    • baked onto your drives
  • Laser engraved
    • very durable
    • engraved deep into the USB casing
    • does not rub off
    • can alter the laser to get dark or light etching

A good USB producer will inform you of all of your options because they offer them. Also, the charge between branding options should usually be included in the cost for your entire order. If is not, then you should search elsewhere.

There are good promotional USB producers you just have to look. For instance, USB Promos is stationed in the USA and provides great quality whether you choose the RUSH (2day), 7 day or 10 day service options.  Take a look around, request samples and have some fun picking out your next promotional product!
