Summer is here and we have got a few custom shaped USB drives to help us celebrate the warm weather.
I am always impressed at how professional the custom shaped drives come out looking. Watching the production from just a drawing to a 3D working USB Drive in such a short period of time is amazing! Just one of the wonders of the modern age, I suppose.
The Miller Light drive is particularly interesting, as it has beer and foam floating around on the inside. The beer is fake though, so don’t go breaking the drive open if you’re thirsty 😉
When I first started working here, I was surprised to learn that many of our clients are in the field of Education. High Schools order drives in their school colors with their mascot printed on the front. Universities order drives for sale at the student store, or for the staff of a certain department. Even elementary schools place orders for custom printed drives. The latest school we had the pleasure of working with was the University of Colorado.
The University decided to go with the SWM style drive, which is probably the most popular model we have. Having lost the cap to almost every USB drive I have ever owned, I can certainly see why our customers are so fond of the capless design. If any of you happen to attend the University of Colorado, be sure to leave us a comment if you see the drives around campus!
Earlier today we received the long awaited order for the popular online dating site, Zoosk.com. This order had to be revised quite a few times along the way to meet the stringent requirements many corporations have for the use of their logos, and since these drives had been in pre-production for quite some time everyone at the office was excited to see how they turned out. I think I can safely say that nobody was disappointed.
The drives were a bit unusual in that they were printed in 5 colors. Typically we print up to 4 colors, or if more colors are required we use full-color print process instead. Zoosk also decided to have the drive body made in a custom color, to match the light blue color in their logo. Clearly their design team knows what they are doing, because these USB drives came out looking great.
Auntie Anne’s, the pretzel deities if you’ve never heard of them ordered from us and you know what that means, pretzel party for the office! Along with the imprinted DE white drives they ordered we got 10-20 pretzels, just ’cause. I must say both where really awesome. We took some pictures of the drives and I managed to concoct a new signature item: carton-o-usb :).
It was very surprising to me that the pretzel made it through the whole photo shoot.
’till next time.
Some of the best looking prints are on white backgrounds so its a big surprise we get few orders for custom colored swivels on the SWM USB Drive. El Dorado Restoration, however, wanted to get a white swivel for their order and as expected they came out very well.

We have been getting a lot of orders for our wooden drives in the paste couple months so we’ve decided to show off some of those orders. This style is our WDR1 Wooden USB it has a couple magnets in the cap to secure itself closed. Most of our wooden models are branded using our burn in process but we can also print them.
This order in particular was meant to showcase old west Americana for an artist. The print and the stained wood made a great match with the artistic style he has.
I thought these where pretty cool. The different blues with the white swivels really came out well. I had some fun with the blue paper background too.
