Getting physical samples of the USB sticks you’ve short-listed together with good quality mock-ups of how your artwork will look on each short-listed stick is, in many cases, a pre-requisite before placing an order.

USB2U Sample Boxes

Up until now whilst we have been happy to send out samples they have been sent out in individual “poly” bags that doesn’t really help to illustrate them at their best. So, we’ve now “upped our game” and from now on we’re sending out samples in our own USB2U branded samples box. You choose which samples you want and we’ll send them out overnight so that you get them the following day.

All of our samples are supplied free of charge. They’re printed or engraved to show you the quality of the print you can expect on them (we can’t print your logo on the samples so they will be sent with example logos on). The samples are “dummy” samples so they won’t work but in all other respects they are actual samples that will convey the look, feel, weight and manufacturing quality.

To compliment the free sample service we also offer free design support services. If your logo is not quite good enough then we’ll offer to re-draw or re-work the artwork to get it “print ready”. If you want to see how your artwork will look on a range of different stick then no problem, we’ll produce mock-ups of each one. If you just need help trying to narrow down the choices then using our years of experience we can recommend options for you.

Our Free Samples offer is just one element of the overall service we offer. We want you to be happy with the choice of USB stick you make and more importantly we want you to be delighted with the final printed versions of your promotional USB memory sticks. Get your free, no-obligation quote and samples

We’ve got loads of different coloured lanyards to choose from so there’s bound to be something to match your logo or brand. Your free pre-loaded files can be anything including PDF brochures, Word documents, PowerPoint slides, Media files or links to you website.

USB mock-up

We know that with the hundreds of USB memory sticks to chose from it can be a daunting task trying to narrow it down to one particular stick and even more challenging to choose the right colour USB stick to print your logo onto. If you fall into this category then let our design team take the strain and use their skills to work up a number of different options for you.

Our in-house design team have produced literally thousands of designs and mock-ups for customers over the years and they have an instinctive eye for what looks good and what works well. So, if you are in any doubt at all then just whiz you logo over to us via our “request a mock-up” page and our design team will get back to you with some recommendations in just a few hours.

We don’t charge for producing or supplying mock-ups because we understand that our customers want to see what their USB memory sticks are going to look like before they commit to an order. We also know that mock-ups are important to some customers to obtain internal sign off and approval before they are able to proceed.

Branded USB Mock-Up Service

Bear in mind that the mock-ups produced are illustrations of what the eventual branded USB memory sticks will look like. If you place an order we will also send you a photo from our factory of what your actual printed USB sticks will look like before the final production takes place. This is final approval check is in place because no matter how good

USb Flash Drive Mock Up

our mock-ups are there are sometimes small variations in the print/colours depending on the material the factory are printing onto.

Not only will our design team produce mock-ups to illustrate what your logo will look like printed onto a standard USB memory stick but they can also produce custom USB memory stick concepts and ideas for you. These are typically 3-D diagrams and concepts that show you what a fully bespoke solution might look like. In the past we have produced custom USB memory sticks in the shape of tyres, fork-lifts, fruit, wedding dresses, trench heaters, eggs, letters and much more besides.

Perhaps the news of the recent delivery of some excellent branded USB flash drives to Duston School has started to seep out. It wouldn’t be too surprising if this was the case because one of the reason USB sticks are popular as giveaways or as promotional items is that they create lots of interest and “chatter” which after all is exactly what you want if you are looking to promote something.

USB School Flash Drive

Clearly in the case of schools it’s less about the promotional benefits and more about providing teachers and students with a useful tool that can be used to save and carry data around on. Many schools now either provide their teachers and students with memory sticks at no cost or simply make them available to purchase at a heavily discounted price.

With the growing use of PC’s and white boards in the classroom it perhaps surprising that USB memory sticks have not found themselves onto the list of items every student must have when they start school. It wasn’t too long ago that calculators were the preserve of the few whilst everyone else struggled with slide rules and log-tables. Today of course calculators are cheap, plentiful and a core part of daily life at school. How long will it be before USB flash drives go the same way?

If you are considering buying branded USB flash drives for your school or university then get in touch with the team at USB2U. They always have lots of offers on like free data-loading, free gift boxes, free lanyards and every school or university immediately qualifies for 30-day trade terms.

Its always useful to talk your requirements through with one of the team at USB2U because memory sticks used in schools are typically subject to a fair amount of punishment so they can advise you on USB flash drives that are going to be robust enough to stand up the job. Equally if you’re concerned about the students losing them its possible to get each and every USB flash drive sequentially numbered so they can be “bound” to the student and returned in the event of loss.

So, get set for the start of the new academic year and order up your School USB flash drives now.

Yes, the purist might argue that they look best in their naked state where the brand can immediately be seen and the environmentalists might argue that the gift boxes are just superfluous “fluff” that will just get thrown away so why bother. After all there is enough waste packaging around at the moment so why add to it!

USB Gift Box

But think about it. If you’re spending a small fortune sourcing good quality branded USB memory sticks to give away as a gift or as part of a promotional campaign then it makes sense to “dress” them in a gift box. Not only will a gift box protect the branded USB memory stick but they just look better when handed out in their own boxes and the printed logo on the stick won’t be in danger of getting scuffed or scratched. The alternative to “no gift box” is either a polythene bag or “bubble bag” both of which are “ok” but they don’t exactly do much for the brand printed on the memory stick!

What other “gift” or “thank you” do you get given where no thought has been given to how its wrapped, boxed or presented? The answer is likely to be none and for this reason we think gift boxes are a bit of a must when it come to giving away branded sticks.

There are lots of Gift Box options to choose from starting from basic white or silver cardboard boxes through to classy looking tins with foam inserts specifically cut in the shape of the USB flash drive. If you want to go that one step further you could also print the outside of the gift box to further push your brand or product.

If you are planning to include items like lanyards, key rings, small extension leads then a gift box is handy because if

you choose the right one then these “extras” can be neatly bundled into the gift box with the memory stick.

During July we’re offering FREE gift boxes with all orders of branded USB memory sticks. The free offer is limited to our “standard” boxes but if these are not what you wanted we’ll offer all of our other gift boxes at discounted prices for the duration of the offer.
