Remy Martin ordered our Wallet Card Spin drives the other week. They went with the translucent version and their full color logo printed on the front. Let’s drink to that.

UPDATE (proof of success): I Fight Dragons USB Project
I was looking over my blog stats today and noticed a visitor who got to my site by searching for “I Fight Dragons USB“. I googled the term and found, among many things, this blog post: http://www.wearelistening.org/blog/10000-in-48-hours-without-a-label/.
In February 2009, I posted this link about music marketing. This one was a follow-up on in April. While common sense to some, many bands/musicians have no idea what they’re doing when it comes to making money in the music industry. The project for I Fight Dragons is a success story. In fact, I’ve got plenty more I can tell you about – The Mars Volta, Mega Beat International, Lamb of God…
Are you ready to have your name added to the list?
WGN America Buys Custom Card Disk Drives
Here are some photos from a recent order for WGN America (a Tribune Company). They loaded them with company information and gave them to their ad sales guys to help them…well…sell ads. Edge to edge full color printing, personalized with different names – totally affordable.
New Model: Card Disk Mini Spin
We’ve had this drive for over a month now, just haven’t had the chance to add it to the website. It’s another addition to the Card Disk family. Let’s all welcome the Card Disk Mini Spin.
This drive is the same size and thickness as our Card Disk Mini-Flip (as thick as two credit cards). It comes in solid and translucent color options. It even has a mini-me version that is half the size of the original. See images below.
POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS
- When you need a large printing area.
- When you’re printing a full color photograph
- When you want an alternative to the standard business card
- When you need an alternative to the standard wedding favor
- When you want to stand out (get the translucent version)
UPDATE 3/15/10
These models are now on the CustomUSB website and can be found here:

Business Card USB Drives for HBO’s Bored to Death
Last Sunday, HBO aired the first episode of it’s new series, Bored to Death. This is an HBO original comedy about a young writer who becomes a private detective.
An original series requires an original promotion. This is why HBO chose us (again). The USB drive they picked, was our Card Disk Mini Flip model. It was printed with Jonathan Ames’ (main character) information that made the drive look like a business card. The phone number, (646) 336-6222 rings a voicemail box where Jonathan’s voice talks about this detective services. Try calling it.
Each USB drive was pre-loaded with a trailer for the show and a “making of” video. They were giving out at various release parties throughout the US.

I Fight Dragons USB Cards
Another band uses our USB Drives to release new music. This one is a local (Chicago) band, I Fight Dragons. Photos of their drives are below. Contact Brian for more information.
Product Review: Card Disk Mini-Flip
Let’s welcome the Mini-Flip. This is the newest drive in our Card Disk series. Our card disk section represents USB drives that are shaped like a credit card (or access card) and can be customized with a full color logo on both sides.
The Card Disk Mini-Flip has been personally tested and I give it FIVE STARS. This is, by far, the best card style USB drive I’ve seen. It is thin (2 mm or 2 credit cards in thickness), durable (literally dropped from the roof of my SUV and still works great), and good looking (compared to others in this series).
HOW IT WORKS: As you see in the photo above, the USB part flips open from body and can be plugged into a vertical or horizontal USB port. Once done, just lock it back into original position and the drive will be flat again.
Here are some scenarios.
- If you are an advertising agency, pre-load your Flash reel and give out as business cards to clients and prospects.
- If you are marketing a movie, software, or some video games, pre-load a demo or a trailer and do a direct mailing to pre-qualified leads.
- If you are a night club or a DJ, print a full color graphic and give out to VIP (high spending) party goers to get them to come back next time (pair this with our VIP KEY system for a complete solution).
- If you produce motorcycle parts, upload your catalog and send to retailers that carry your product. Use our VIP KEY system to have the catalog update automatically.
- Use the Card Disk Mini-Flip as a trade show badge at your next conference
- Send this drive to all your sales people across the world.
- This bullet point is for YOUR idea…
USB TIP: When purchasing this drive, think of the people who do not carry a wallet (I only carry a money clip).
