Think: Sets

• Most importantly, do you want individual volumes or , in contrast one big set?
• Secondly, do you know the Height?
• Next, determine all items the set needs to hold, such as Media (type and qty), and paper items such as Books, Booklet or Poster, Inner Pages, Photos, Art Cards, etc. Also, things like USBs, Download Cards or other Retail Items.
• Also, factors like retail presence, lightweight, eco friendly, or special printing features.

USB Drive Packaging

USBs usually like to be cushioned in foam or held in place with cardboard because they are somewhat bulky and require some depth in the packaging. Because we have creative clients, we also have creative USBs and ways to hold them.
Think: chunky USBs.

• USB Boxes can be any size but 5×5 is very popular with our clients. Although we encourage clients to think outside the box, USB boxes remain the top choice.
• Because USBs are a little chunky, we like to use Foam Wells that are custom cut for the USB we are manufacturing for you.
• Cardboard Wells can also be made to hold USBs securely.
• And of course you can add lots of items to a USB package including discs, cards, and books.
• We can also help with uploading your data.

Video Panels

LCD Video Panels Not only do they play the video and menu that we program into it, but the best part is that the video can be changed! These are somewhat expensive, but the minimum order is significantly less than other media.
Think: cutting edge promotional, high-end, deluxe, educational

• Video Panels range from 4.3 to 10 inches, because this is an important cost factor, we usually start with screen size first.
• The panels are embedded in packaging such as a 4pp brochure or a custom made box, so the type of packaging is what we want to determine next.
• Buttons are custom programmed to a menu so the user can select video options.
• Video can also be re-uploaded and changed via the USB port.
