We’ve been noticing a dramatic demand uptick in custom USB flash drives that are shipped either inside a custom USB packaging product or attached to an insert. At CFgear we offer a plethora of packaging options for your custom USB thumb drive project. We recently counted the number of packaging options we have, and we stopped counting at 56! Shop around and you will be lucky to find 10 from any of our competitors. Just another reason CFgear will always be factory direct and strive to bring to our customers affordable innovation and options beyond the basics.

Today, we wanted to highlight a few of our more popular packaging options that are typically one of kind from CFgear. continue
