Flash Pacs are a brand new USB packaging option that will open your eyes and show you the great benefits to housing your USBs in a 100% unique USB package.  Only available from Premium USB, Flash Pacs combine the familiar with the truly amazing.</p>
<p>Each Flash Pac case is roughly the same size as a <a href="http://www.cdrom2go.com/catalog/blu-ray-cases_73.htm" target="_self">Blu-ray case</a> and has an outer clear plastic sleeve that holds a custom printed entrapment.  On the inside are inner clips that are great at holding custom printed inserts or booklets as well as the piece that makes the Flash Pac famous; the USB dock! This USB dock is the physical piece of the case that holds your USB securely while in transit.</p>
<p><span id="more-1516"></span></p>
<p>Flash Pacs also come in three different varieties. The first variety is a Flash Pac with a USB logo molded into the cases design. This is a great way to let your clients know what little surprise you have in store for them once they open the case. The second variety is a Flash Pac Case without the USB logo. The last variety of Flash Pac is not only able to hold a single USB flash drive, but it can also hold a CD, DVD, or BD! This variety allows you to expand the promotional material and maximize your impact on clients!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/images/blog/usb-packaging_BIG.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-139 noborder" style="margin: 5px;" title="How adding Custom Packaging to Custom Flash Drives Promotes Business" src="http://www.premiumusb.com/images/blog/usb-packaging.jpg" alt="Custom USB Flash Drives Packaging" width="150" height="150" align="right" /></a>Everyone has seen a USB drive. They&#8217;re small, lightweight, can come in every color imaginable, and store small bits to entire volumes of information. Promotional companies have especially caught onto this rather new marketing device and have seen the huge benefits first hand, but almost all of them have not been getting the “biggest bang” for their money.</p>
<p>It is true that USB drives are extremely attractive at trade shows, company events, or industry conventions. These little flash devices can bring in large amounts of new customers and even retain existing customers. However, despite how eye catching the drives are, they are missing <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-usb-packaging_36.htm" target="_self">custom USB packaging</a> to accent the drive!<br />
<span id="more-1375"></span></p>
<p>Custom packaging is often the very first thing that catches people’s attention, but is also the option that most people/companies choose to leave out. Packaging on the contrary can sometimes have a larger impact on a potential buyer/client than the actual product or promotion. Research has shown that products with attractive custom packaging outsell generic packaging; despite the product being the exact same for both boxes.</p>
<p>It is safe to say that as humans, we are attracted to things that are visually stimulating. So how does this correlate to custom flash drives? Well a comparison between USB drives with packaging and those without should show the same results as what research has shown above. Clients will more than likely be attracted to a promotional USB with custom packaging, than one without. There of course there will always be exceptions as some USBs stand out above the rest, but generally custom packaging will win out.</p>
<p>By adding custom packaging to your <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-usb-drives_29.htm" target="_self">custom flash drives</a>, you are essentially helping your product, promotion, and service stand out amongst a crowd of other competitors. For example at a trade show, there are tens if not hundreds of companies all competing against you to get business. Why not trump them with custom USB packaging and make it so clients come to you instead of your competitors?!</p>
<p>Also by choosing custom packaging, you are increasing your available promotional area! Print your company name, logo, and contact information in the available print areas to ensure that clients remember your company and services.  It’s literally a Win-Win!</p>
<p>It’s fairly easy to see how custom USB packaging can help spice up your promotions as well as promote your business. Contact <strong>Premium USB</strong> today and get the process started to creating a custom USB promotion that your competitors wish they had done!

There are numerous customization options and almost limitless packaging options to choose from ensuring a truly one of a kind presentation. However, CDs and DVDs are proving to be a victim of their own success.</p>
<p>It has become extremely common to see companies promote their products/services with CDs or DVDs; even at trade shows where companies compete for new clients. People are getting bored and when there are several companies handing out discs, the uniqueness just isn’t there.<br />
<span id="more-1178"></span></p>
<p>But if you were to upgrade your project to use <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com" target="_self">personalized USB drives</a>, we&#8217;re pretty sure you would stand out at your next big show. At Premium USB we offer a huge selection of customization options for USB flash drives. With our customization options, you can give your next big promotion a Digital Makeover!</p>
<p>Why upgrade you ask? Well choosing to upgrade is always a tough decision, but let us try to make it a little easier. First for the capacity oriented, <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-usb-drives_29.htm" target="_self">customized USB flash drives</a> can hold as much if not more information than traditional media like CDs or DVDs. This equates to being able to store more promotional material; which might just help you pick up a few extra clients along the way.</p>
<p>Next, <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/" target="_self">custom USB drives</a> actually have more unique customization options than traditional media. With a DVD for example, you can customize the disc artwork, the package, the package inserts and entrapments, if available, and that’s about it. But with flash drives you can customize the USB artwork, the package, the package inserts, as well as the added bonus of being able to design the USB drive itself! <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-shape-usb-drives_55.htm" target="_self">Custom shaped USB drives</a> are the perfect way to promote your products or services because you can take your promotion that one step extra and truly shock anyone who happens to see your drives.</p>
<p>Lastly, durability and longevity are big issues with promotions. Discs can be smudged, scratched, cracked, and easily broken just from normal use. Discs can also be affected by sunlight and lessen the longevity of your information. Personalized USB drives, on the other hand, contain your information digitally &#8211; ensuring that even if the casing is used and abused, your information stays protected. USB drives also have 10x the life expectancy of optical media. As an added note, <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-usb-drives_29.htm" target="_self">customized USB flash drives</a> also last longer as a promotional item due to customers and clients that are much less likely to throw away your promotion than if it were on a CD or DVD.</p>
<p>At Premium USB we have witnessed the power and the shocked faces of not only our customers as we show them what USB drives can do, but also our customer’s clients. CDs and DVDs will probably be around for many years to come, but as each day passes, their marketing factor is constantly decreasing due to advancing technology. <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com" target="_self">Personalized USB drives</a> are a rather new promotional tool and are still climbing in popularity. Get your Digital Makeover from Premium USB and notice the results for yourself.

They also have become the most well known and widely used packaging for many other products in many different industries. But despite the popularity of the clamshells, there are times where a clamshell just doesn’t have the impact companies are looking for. Sometimes they are looking for completely unique packaging that makes their products stand out from the crowd. In this case, companies seek out new and unique alternatives to the clamshell to help get their promotion get noticed.<br />
<span id="more-1028"></span></p>
<p>Well at Premium USB we stock a wide variety of <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/customized-usb-packaging_18.htm" target="_self">custom USB packaging</a> that is sure to get your product or promotion noticed. We carry Tins, USB Boxes, Flash Pac USB Cases, and velvet pouches. All of our USB packaging are produced from high quality materials and are priced at wholesale pricing.</p>
<p>Our <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/usb-flash-drive-tins_45.htm" target="_self">USB Tins</a> come in either black or silver and feature a viewing window, not only to let the artwork on the tin shine, but to show off the custom USB drive inside as well.  Each tin also features foam inserts for added protection as well as stylistic presentation. Tins are great for displaying limited edition flash drives while maintaining the drive&#8217;s protection all in one elegant <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-usb-packaging_36.htm" target="_self">USB package</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/usb-flash-drive-boxes_44.htm" target="_self">USB Boxes</a> may sound a bit dull, but actually offer one of the best ways to protect and display your flash drives. First, they offer a very large print area for custom artwork. These large print areas allow customers or potential clients to view your brand more easily, and are more likely to remember it. Secondly, they come in various different styles ensuring that your promotion won’t be identical to someone else’s. For that eco-conscious side in all of us, Premium USB also stocks an eco-friendly USB package that leaves a smaller footprint. It is made from recycled cardboard, which provides great durability and long lasting protection.</p>
<p>First introduced by <a href="http://www.usdigitalmedia.com/" target="_self">US Digital Media</a>, the<a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-flash-pac_66.htm" target="_self"> Flash Pac USB Case</a> has become a huge success. It truly is a one of a kind USB package. Boasting the ability to not only house and protect a USB drive, but it also has an outer entrapment for printed material, much like a Blu-ray case, and inner clips to hold printed inserts. Prefect for a promotional campaign, the Flash Pac case is one USB packaging option that won’t go unnoticed at the next big trade show, company event, or industry convention.</p>
<p>Last but not least, Premium USB also stocks <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/usb-flash-drive-pouches_46.htm" target="_self">USB pouches</a>. These pouches are made of high quality velvet and come in two sizes to fit a wide variety of USB drives. Each velvet pouch comes with a drawstring to ensure the USB stays safe. Multiple colors are available in high quantities.</p>
<p>All of our <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-usb-packaging_36.htm" target="_self">custom USB packaging</a> can be customized to unique specifications thanks to our custom printing options. Depending on the packaging chosen, they can be silkscreen printed, laser engraved, 4 color process printed, or foil stamped.</p>
<p>Yes the <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/usb-clamshells_65.htm" target="_self">USB clamshell</a> has been around for years and will probably be around for many more, but that does not mean you have to conform to the norm. Order your <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/customized-usb-packaging_18.htm" target="_self">custom USB packaging</a> from Premium USB today and get started making a one-of-a-kind USB package.<em></em>

<span id="more-954"></span><br />
<strong> Below are 10 tips to make your next <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com" target="_self">Custom USB</a></strong><strong> job  attract more clients:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Logo:</strong> Your logo is what the client will see, and is what will remembered for years to come. It is vital to choose appropriate <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-usb-drives_29.htm" target="_self">custom flash drives</a> that compliment your logo. Choosing a circular USB drive when you have a rectangle company logo may not have the same impact as if you chose a rectangle drive. Maximizing your print space is a really good idea because it allows you to make your logo that much bigger. The easier it is for clients to see your logo, the easier it is for them to remember it. Big named companies have employed this strategy for years and it seems to be working rather well for them, so why not make your logo as big as possible? For added print space, check out our epoxy dome printing to help maximize printing area.</p>
<p><strong>2. Color:</strong> Color plays a vital role in attracting new clients. Colors like red, yellow, and orange generally attract the human eye while colors like green, blue, and purple soothe the eye. If you have too much of one type, like too many bright colors, your flash drive could look to “busy” and actually turn people away from your drive. Or if it looks too “dull” and contain too many dark colors, people lose interest as it doesn’t attract them to it. What we suggest is to first analyze your Logo or Slogans colors, and then pick a color for a USB drive that would be contrast color. Having a bright color logo and a dark color background is probably going to be your best bet because the bright color of the logo will jump off the USB drive thanks to the dark color background.</p>
<p><strong>3. Packaging:</strong> <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/customized-usb-packaging_18.htm" target="_self">USB Packaging </a>can make or break your presentation. Being given a USB drive in a fancy <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/flash-pac-usb-cases_62.htm" target="_self">Flash Pac</a>, for example, as compared to being given a flash drive with no packaging just does not have the same impact. This does not mean that just handing out USB drives is a bad thing; it just means that, depending on your promotion, adding additional packaging might spruce up its presentation.  For example, if you are going to give out 100 USB pen drives to your top 100 performing employees as a gift for a year’s well done; then perhaps you want to put the pen inside a fancy, elegant, USB box or perhaps a velvet pouch.</p>
<p><strong>4. Style: </strong>The style of your USB drives also matters a great deal. There are hundreds of designs for flash drives and each has its own unique appeal. What we suggest would be picking a USB drive that suits your promotional needs. For example, if you want a drive with large print surface and capless design, then perhaps you may want the Orbit or a Smart Card.  If you want a truly elegant and executive look, then we would suggest you head on over to our Executive USB web page. The possibilities are endless and if you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can always look into <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/custom-shaped-usb-drives.aspx" target="_self">Custom Shaped USB drives</a> and create whatever design you wish!</p>
<p><strong> 5. Size:</strong> The physical size of the <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com" target="_self">promotional USB drive</a> can also be a big selling factor. Clients generally like smaller USB drive due to the fact that they are a little more convenient, but usually have less artwork space. Bigger flash drives give you the advantage of larger print area, but are a little more cumbersome to carry. Overall the size of the drive should be determined based on your particular needs and your theme.</p>
<p><strong>6. Data Capacity:</strong> Most people underestimate just how important the capacity of their drives needs to be. Most settle for <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com" target="_self">1GB flash drives</a> as they are the easiest to afford and usually do fairly well with them, but for a few upgrading to a 2GB or higher might have been a better choice. Depending on the size and presentation of your promotional material, you may want to spend a little more and upgrade to a bigger flash drive because if you are approaching the maximum data size that your current drives can handle, there is little to no room for clients to store their own information. Let’s face it; clients will usually not carry around your flash drives unless there is something in it for them. Pens, pencils, and other promotional items have a secondary use besides advertising brand names, their usable to the clients. Flash drives become usable when there is extra space for clients to store their own information; so spending a little more and upgrading your drives gives clients the incentive to keep your flash drive, and to use it repeatedly.</p>
<p><strong>7. Cap or Capless:</strong> This may seem rather minor, but deciding if you want your drives to have a removable cap or not adds to the overall appeal. If you’re a company that deals with emerging technology, then using a traditional USB drive might not represent your company the best. But if you were to use a <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/swivelsliders-usb-drives_32.htm" target="_self">USB drive with a swivel cap</a>, you could achieve the reaction you want. Or if you’re more of a traditional company, giving out capped USB drives might suit your intended reaction better. Whether you go with cap or <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/product/ingot-usb-flash-drive_custom-shapes_275.htm" target="_self">capless USB drives</a>, figuring out your product&#8217;s theme first, then choosing an appropriate drive to match would be best.</p>
<p><strong> 8. Material:</strong> Plastic, wood, leather, and metal are all valuable types of materials, but which one would be best suited for you? Keep in mind that whatever material you eventually choose has different printing options and some types of printing options are only available to certain types of USB drives. We first would start by going to back to your logo and determining what type of printing option would be best (more discussed below). Then after choosing an appropriate color, picking the type of material to compliment your theme, logo, and color would be next. Depending on the type of material, your USB drives can send different messages. For example, if your company is “going green”, then printing on a plastic USB drive may not be the best option.</p>
<p><strong>9. Printing Options:</strong> There are several printing options available for <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-usb-drives_29.htm" target="_self">custom printed flash drives</a>, and all can make or break your presentation. Laser engraving, heat stamping, screen printing, epoxy dome, and Photo Pro printing are the printing options that Premium USB offers. If you logo is rather complex with multiple colors, laser engraving and heat stamping would probably not be the best, but the printing options that would make your logo shine would be Photo Pro or screen printing. If your logo is rather simple, perhaps give laser engraving or heat stamping a try. To learn more about our printing options, please see our <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/custom-usb-print-options.aspx" target="_self">Printing Options Explained</a> web page.</p>
<p><strong>10.  Accessories:</strong> No package is complete without <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/usb-drive-accessories_19.htm" target="_self">accessories</a>. USB keyrings, key loops, lanyards, and many more spruce up your package and give your drives that little extra usability that may just separate your drives from the pack. By equipping your <a href="http://www.premiumusb.com/catalog/custom-usb-drives_29.htm" target="_self">custom USB drives</a> with at least one accessory, you are making it easier for your clients to carry around your drive; which in turn makes your clients more likely to use your USB drive.
