Our 3-Day Promotional Flash Drive Process Explained: Design, Print & Delivery

Last Updated: 8 January 2025

Event deadlines don’t move. When timing gets tight, the giveaways need to be organised quickly and delivered without complication. USB Planet’s 3-Day Promotional Flash Drive Service was created for exactly these situations — helping event organisers across Australia meet fixed dates without sacrificing presentation or reliability.

This article explains how our three-day turnaround works, from artwork approval through to delivery.

Why Fast Turnaround Matters for Events

In event planning, delays are a common occurrence. Artwork approvals run late. Sponsors come on board at the last minute. Attendance numbers change. These situations usually leave very little room to organise branded merchandise. Flash drives continue to be a popular choice because they are:

• Useful beyond the event itself

• Easy to distribute at registration desks or booths

• Suitable for digital brochures, presentations, and media kits

• Professional and long-lasting

How the 3-Day Flashdrive Service Works

The 3-day service follows a clear, structured ordering process:

Day,	Stage	What Happens
Day 1	Artwork & Approval	Artwork review, proof preparation and sign-off
Day 2	Branding & Production	Logo branding, assembly and batch checks
Day 3	Final Checks & Delivery	Quality control, packaging, and express dispatch

Day 1: Artwork Review and Approval

The first day focuses on getting the branding right, quickly. Once the artwork is supplied, you will check and approve if it needs revision or is ready for production. For a guide on file formats and logo redraw services, you may check here: Graphics & Design

Steps on Day 1 include:

• Confirming your chosen model and USB capacity

• Review the size and the placement of your logo on the flash drive

• Checking and confirming the colours

• Sending of an artwork mockup with your logo for approval

Step	What’s Involved
Artwork supplied	Logo files received and reviewed
Artwork check	Compatibility confirmed
Proof prepared	Digital layout created
Approval	Final sign-off received

Day 2: Branding and Production

Once the artwork is approved, production starts immediately. Logos are applied using established branding methods suited to fast turnaround work.

Here’s what we do on the second day:

Branding	Logo applied to products
Assembly	Units are prepared in batches

Day 3: Checking of Quality and Dispatch

Before we send off your bulk orders, we run final checks to make sure they are functional and the logo prints are spot-on. This includes:

• Visual inspection of branding
