By · Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

Custom USB packaging Know you want a custom USB flash drive for your promotional, educational or business applications, but can’t seem to decide on how to package it all?  We’re here to help.  Premium USB has a diverse selection of custom flash drive packaging.  While we wouldn’t call one choice better than another (it all depends on your needs) we want to point out the potential pros and cons of these custom USB drive packaging options so that you can settle the score yourself.  For this match, we’re pitting Flash Pac™ USB cases against USB pouches.

Round 1- Protection and Durability

Flash Pac USB Cases: With a resemblance that rivals a Blu-ray case, these packages are constructed from a sturdy plastic that is simultaneously rigid and flexible.  It keeps your flash drive firmly attached in place so that it doesn’t slide around.  The result?   Custom flash drives shielded from harm.

USB flash drive pouch: Smaller than its Flash Pac USB case counterpart, the pouch offers enough protection to keep the dirt and scratches away.  However, it’s not protected by a rigid plastic frame so it’s prone to more elements of impact.

Winner: This round goes to the Flash Pac USB case.  With a dock and solid plastic framing, it just offers a little extra protection.

Round 2- Size

Flash Pac USB drive cases: It’s a larger case for a small item like a flash drive.  However, it still manages to be slim and compact, so multiple cases are as easy to stack and store as discs.  This custom USB packaging also promotes greater visibility than a smaller pouch to ensure they do not get lost in the shuffle.

USB flash drive pouch: These soft and flexible pouches allow users to stow them just about anywhere while taking up less room than other USB packages.  What’s more is that their size and malleable shape make them great for the storage of other random items.

Winner: This round goes to the flash drive USB pouch since a smaller case is always easier to carry and store.

Round 3- Marketing Potential

Flash Pac USB case: This option gives you endless promotional possibility.  You have the room and surface area to utilize customized inserts on the outside and inside of the case to display full color logos, artwork and information.  You can also take advantage of a Flash Pac USB case with CD, DVD or Blu-ray to maximize your multimedia presence.

Flash drive pouch: Each USB pouch can be customized.  Use a silkscreen logo or simple artwork to add that personalized touch.

Winner: The Flash Pac USB case is the clear champion of this round with marketing opportunities at every level.

Round 4- Price and USB Versatility

USB Flash Pac case: You will pay roughly at least 10 cents more per case than you would with a pouch, but you will get a lot more packaging for your money.  These cases are designed for only select flash drive styles since the case is only so thick and it boasts an extra dock to hold a standard cap.

Flash drive pouch: Our velvet USB pouches are more affordable than their larger counterparts.   Additionally they allow for a larger selection of USB styles to fit easily and comfortably in the pouch.

Winner: USB pouches.  They are less expensive with more flash drive style options.

You be the tiebreaker!  Two great USB packaging options, each with very different strengths.  Which do you like better?  Do you want a USB packaging rematch?  Sound off below.
