How Custom Ink works<\/h3><\/div>\r\n
This post is a playground! Everything can be edited in our Design Lab and all of the designs shown in this post are templates. You can use them as-is or add to them, adjust them, change colors, and change the product that you print them on. You can also make any order into a group order where you can share a link with your friends and family so that they can get their very own version of your great design. They can each place orders, pay, and have their items shipped directly to them. Bottom line: Have fun with it!<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

Whether you\u2019re a small tech start-up ready to hit the ground running or an established business people know like the back of their hand, you and your team can benefit from a well-designed <\/span>custom flash drive<\/span><\/a>! At some point, we\u2019ve probably all owned one but how many of us have actually come up with a design for one? Due to their small size, we can see how creating a design for a flash drive can seem a bit daunting. But with the following tips, we hope you\u2019ll discover some easy space-saving tips for creating your own powerful and effective custom flash drive design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stack Text & Media:<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"custom<\/a><\/p>\n

Make your brand the focal point while creating visual interest by including some relevant clipart or your company\u2019s logo in between two sets of text. This design set up makes for a clean, legible design on your <\/span>custom flash drive<\/span><\/a> that customers will appreciate as soon as they look at it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Utilize Silhouettes:\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"red<\/a><\/p>\n

Including silhouettes in your design is a great move for a school dance team. The silhouettes give the <\/span>custom flash drive<\/span><\/a> design movement and keep things interesting and fun while not overdoing it with too many details. You get the message loud and clear in a fun and enticing way. Jazz it up and feel free to change things around to match your team\u2019s needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Play With Negative Space:<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"black<\/a><\/p>\n

Kill two birds with one stone by using an effective and interesting visual metaphor for your <\/span>custom flash drive<\/span><\/a> design. Designs that make people think are the ones they\u2019re most likely to remember, and it\u2019s a great way to stand out at conferences or job fairs among all the other free swag your future clients might get.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Highlight Your Wordmark Logo:<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"orange<\/a><\/p>\n

For a clean and easy option, you can stick to just showing off your wordmark logo for your next order of <\/span>custom flash drives<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s official and makes you look professional. Not to mention studies show that people gravitate towards square and rectangular designs because they show a sense of stability and trust. Perfect for all you marketing firms out there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Highlight Your Graphical Logo:<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"blue<\/a><\/p>\n

Say you\u2019re a well-known business that\u2019s been around for a while. Or a school with a prominent and memorable logo. Use that to your advantage when you\u2019re designing your next <\/span>custom flash drive<\/span><\/a> and simply upload your company or school\u2019s logo, because like they always say: a picture is worth a thousand words.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Combine Your Wordmark & Graphical Logo:<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"purple<\/a><\/p>\n

Businesses in the creative field, like photo studios, tend to be able to get away with more abstract logos, but sometimes, without text to back it up, a potential client might not remember what your services are. Combining text and your company\u2019s logo when designing your <\/span>custom flash drives<\/span><\/a> is a great way to make sure nothing gets lost in translation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Share a Link with More Info:<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"pink<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a tech or data company, chances are you can\u2019t communicate every service you provide on a <\/span>custom flash drive<\/span><\/a>. Keep it simple when creating your design, and along with your company\u2019s logo and name, include a link to your site for people to reference and bookmark later on their own time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, with the tips above you\u2019ve realized that not only are <\/span>custom flash drives<\/span><\/a> powerful when it comes to storing and sharing information but also when it comes to highlighting your company in a simple, effective, and creative way. Try out these design templates or come up with your original design the next time your company is invited to a conference or trade show!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
