Custom flash drives are relatively new compared to traditional media such as CDs, DVDs, or BDs, and have been improving as technology advances. Technology has advanced so much that many consumers and companies alike are having to face the very difficult decision; whether to go with custom USB drives or traditional media for their next promotional campaign.

CDs and DVDs have definitely made their impact on the promotional world; nearly 3 decades later they are still going strong. However with the advancement of the USB and soon to be USB 3.0, traditional media is having a hard time competing. Like CDs or DVDs, USBs can be custom printed, preloaded with promotional content, and can be ordered with custom packaging as well. But unlike traditional media, custom USBs come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and capacities. You are even able to get custom printed USB drives with your company logo or slogan in a variety of printing methods that are unavailable on traditional media including laser engraving and heat stamping.

Custom USB drives also provide more usability and versatility as compared to traditional media. As you get towards the upper end of optical media, copying information to or from CDs, DVDs, or BDs can take a very long time. However USB drives, especially USB 3.0 drives, will be able to copy and download at a fraction of the time as traditional media. This allows for faster duplication, which in turn speeds up turn times. Who wouldn’t want to save some time?

Below is a video from Premium USB detailing why we believe you should use Custom USB drives for your next promotional job.
