Normal 0 Well, how does 2mm sound. Yep, thats right, the latestversions of the USB credit card are now down to just 2mm thick, which is prettymuch exactly the same as a standard credit or bankcard. When you consider that inside a USB credit card is a USBFlash memory chip (for storing the data onto), a flash controller (for givinginstructions to the flash memory the brains of the USB drive) and a USBconnector to enable it to be connected to a PC, thats a pretty impressivefeat! USB Credit Cards not only used to be around 2-3 times thethickness of todays ultra thin models but early versions were a little brittleand clunky. The current Flip Mk II and Rotate models are not only incrediblywell built but they are tactile and theyre a great platform onto which you canprint complex logos and designs. As a form factor the credit card shape is one of the mostcommonly used designs in the world today and as such we all tend to havewallets, purses, bags, filofaxs or something similar in which we carry thecards. So, one of the benefits of buying a Credit Card shaped USB flash driverather than the standard stick shape is that your customer or clients willhave somewhere convenient to store and carry it. Not only that but having yourbrand on a USB credit card gives you what the credit card industry calls shareof wallet this is not a share of their spend but the physical sharing of acustomers wallet with other global brands such as VISA, MasterCard and AmericanExpress. Getting your brand amongst these goliaths of the global branding gameis clearly to your advantage and its not something a standard USB flash drivecan deliver. Equally, a standard USB flash drive has a pretty limitedamount of space onto which you can print your design or logo. Its typically nota huge problem if your logo is simple, compact and its just one logo you wantprinted but, if you need to print complex logos or produce a USB stick withmultiple logos and possibly a strap line then youre going to need the extraprint space a USB credit card offers. Functionally USB credit cards work in the same way as astandard stick type design and theyre available in a range of memory sizesfrom 128MB all the way up to a whopping 16GB. There is no compromise oninternal USB components and the data transfer speeds are also broadly similarto a standard USB stick. Although USB credit cards are marginally more expensive thanstandard models if you pre-load the cards with your sales material, brochures,prices lists, presentation files, media files and so on you can offset asignificant chunk of the cost by printing less paper documents (as well assaving the haulage and storage costs of these printed documents)
