Custom USB Flash Drive RFQ Checklist
A custom USB drive enquiry has more moving parts than a standard one: body material, whether a new mould is needed, how the logo is applied, and how the units are packed all change the quote. This checklist lists them so you can send a complete brief or simply confirm which ones you have not decided yet. You do not need a finished design to start — a use case and a capacity are enough; the rest we help you pin down. The same list becomes your acceptance reference, so the promotional run you reorder next year matches the first.
How to use this checklist
Start with use case and capacity. If you only know those two, send them — we will ask the right follow-ups instead of quoting blind.
Decide housing and branding early: a bespoke mould is the single biggest cost and lead-time driver, so it should be settled before, not after, the quote.
What a firm custom USB quote must state
| Clause | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Capacity | Defines the NAND and the price step |
| Interface (USB 2.0 / 3.0, A / C / dual) | Changes controller and board |
| Body material and mould | Standard housing is cheap; a bespoke mould adds tooling and lead time |
| Logo method | Silk-screen, colour printing or laser engraving — each its own setup |
| Packaging | Bulk, retail or presentation, priced per unit |
| Preload and file system | Changes the production flow |

Request a quoteFrequently asked questions
Do I need artwork ready to get a quote?
No. Tell us the logo method and quantity and we will quote; send artwork when the sample stage begins. We accept common vector and image formats.
When do I need a bespoke mould?
Only when a standard housing cannot carry your shape or branding. A new mould adds tooling cost and lead time, so confirm the need before quoting rather than discovering it later.
Can I reorder and keep the unit identical?
Yes, and it is worth stating the intent up front: it affects how we lock the configuration and the tooling. See how to keep repeat orders consistent.
