METONI-style USB flash drive with keychain

Elongated version of the METONI model, with the same metal casing and more surface for the logo. Designed for brands that need their name to be clearly readable.

This model is made to order in our factory. You decide the shape, the material, the color and the logo. We handle the entire process: 3D design, mold, production, quality control and shipping to your country. The minimum order for customization is 100 units.

Shape and appearance

Rectangular metal casing of about 6 × 2 cm, with rounded edges and a retractable connector. Both sides stay smooth for engraving or printing.

Design idea

Switching to a rectangular format gains printing surface, which allows placing the logo and a text below it without looking cramped.

Corporate gift: real case: a gift order for METONI

This model was developed for a customer looking for a useful gift for their clients and distributors: a USB flash drive that also worked as a keychain, with the brand always in sight.

We worked from their logo: we adapted it to the shape of the casing, prepared the sample in three or four days, laser engraved the company name on the metal and pre-loaded folders with their product catalog. The customer received everything in printed boxes, ready to hand out at their next trade fair.

How we handle this type of order:

• Together we define the capacity, the USB type (2.0 or 3.0) and the casing model.
• We engrave or print the logo on the casing, on one or both sides.
• We pre-load your catalog, presentation or video, and write-protect what must not be deleted.
• We print the packaging with your brand: box, blister or card.
• We deliver to your warehouse or directly to the event, with shipment tracking.

Where this gift is used:

• Corporate gift for customers and distributors.
• Press kit at trade fairs and product launches.
• Welcome material for new employees.
• Giveaway at courses, conferences and trainings.

Manufacturing process

Each piece goes through eight steps. All of them are done in our own factory, so we control both quality and delivery time.

1. 1. Order definition. Together we choose the capacity (from 1 GB to 128 GB), the speed (USB 2.0 or 3.0) and the casing design.
2. 2. Chip selection. We buy new branded chips and test them by batches before assembling anything.
3. 3. Casing and mold. We manufacture or select the casing: metal, leather, PVC or acrylic. If a new mold is needed, it takes 3 to 5 days.
4. 4. Logo engraving. Your brand is laser engraved or printed on the casing, on one or both sides.
5. 5. Assembly and soldering. We mount the board inside the casing and close it. Every joint is inspected one by one.
6. 6. Capacity testing. We format and test every unit with a testing tool, not just part of the batch.
7. 7. Data loading. We can pre-load your catalog, video or presentation and write-protect the part that must not be deleted.
8. 8. Packaging. Individual bag, blister, gift box or printed box with your brand.

Material: metal casing (zinc or aluminum) and grade A flash chip

The casing is metal (zinc alloy or aluminum) and inside is a grade A flash memory with an original chip. We use full-capacity chips, never recycled rejects, because that is what determines whether data is truly stored. Every unit undergoes a real capacity test and a read/write test. The chips support at least 10,000 erase and write cycles and retain data for more than ten years without power. The metal casing protects the USB connector from dust and from the knocks of daily use.

Where it is used

This model works very well in these situations:

• Sales presentations with pre-loaded documents
• Gift for customers during sales visits
• Training kit for the distribution network
• Giveaway at industry events
