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!
