Digital Content Copy Protection on USB Flash Drives Now Available From TrusCont

Haifa, Israel and Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) June 4, 2008

TrusCont Ltd a leader in copy protection and Digital Rights Management solutions for digital content, and CoakleyTech, a TouchPoint Print Solutions Company, a leader in digital media, digital print and document management services, announced today the launch of TrusCont USB flash drive copy protection solution.

The increasing capacity and performance of USB Flash Drives and their popularity among the personal computer users make the USB flash drives an attractive method for publishing software, documents and other digital contents. TrusCont Secure Flash Drive (TSFD) was designed specifically for these emerging needs. The TSFD is a combination of a USB dongle and a high capacity USB flash drive. Software, documents or promotional materials can be published on a read only partition of the TSFD which prevents the end users from altering, erasing or copying the publishers’ contents. Publishers have the option of several layers of protection from anti-copy, anti-rip, time stamp (time limit), password protection, copy & paste and printing protection options.

The remaining capacity of the TSFD not consumed by the publishers’ contents can be made available on a separate read/write partition for general use. CD-ROM emulation and “Autorun” are additional important features of the TSFD that enable automatic launch of the publishers’ software upon connection to the end user’s computer.

Distributing software and documents such as technical documentation, manuals, data sheets and eBooks using TrusCont Secure Flash Drives assures publishers that their content is secured from unauthorized copy and use. Protected software can run only when the original TSFD is connected to the local computer. Publishers of documents such as e-books and technical manuals now have the means to distribute reading and reference materials while restricting the readers from altering, copying or misusing their content in any other way. The flexibility of TrusCont document protection system also allows the publishers to enable or restrict specific actions such as printing and copy & paste for each individual document.

The TSFD is also good news for USB Flash Drives vendors and manufacturers that suffer from falling margins and loss of profitability due to the high competition. TSFD can be the new added value solution they keep looking for.

TrusCont Secure Flash Drives are available worldwide and are now distributed in the United States by CoakleyTech. “We are pleased to offer TrusCont Secure Flash Drive to our customers,” said George Gama, Digital Media Production Specialist at CoakleyTech. “The TSFD is a hardware based software and documents security solution and a high capacity USB flash drive in one device.”

Mr. Gama continued, “TSFD is the ideal solution for content owners seeking a cost effective, portable and secure media for delivering their content. Software developers, specialty publishers, schools, government and military service providers and virtually anyone wishing to copy protect their intellectual property, are ideal candidates for TrusCont Secure Flash Drive.”

Serial Numbers & Bar Codes On USB Flash Drives

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: Codes, Drives, Flash, Numbers, serial — admin @ 2:59 pm

by *USB*

When companies’ print onto USB flash drives it is typically done to promote their brand and engender some degree of customer awareness, loyalty or both. Branded USB flash drives are also increasingly given away with data pre-loaded onto the drive as a convenient and cost effective way of distributing product and pricing information or copies of presentation slides and/or press releases.

Distributing branded USB flash drives is not new but it is growing in popularity with millions of them being given away every year. Flash drives are now so popular that they have become the de facto way to save, store and carry around data files and they are in daily use in education, business and at home. This growth in popularity creates opportunities and also challenges.

The challenge if you’re giving away flash drives is to ensure that your drive doesn’t become “just another” flash drive amongst many or if it is to make sure that it stands out from the crowd and gets used. There are several ways to do this:

Commission custom USB’s in a shape that reflects your company’s identity or the product you are promoting. Examples include cars, fork-lift trucks, pieces of fruit, trainers, floor heaters and so on.
Get the USB flash drives pantone matched (this is where you define the body shell colour rather than accepting a standard factory colour). This will help your USB drive stand out from the crowd.
Give away a flash drive with a large amount of free storage space. This encourages the recipient to use your drive in preference to any others he/she may have.

The opportunities are many. Amongst other things flash drives are already being used to:

Launch new music bands (the disks are pre-loaded with the bands music, bio’s and video’s and tour dates)
Store and distribute wedding photo’s (as well as being used as wedding favours)
Celebrate the impending birth of a child (3-D and 4-D baby scans are being loaded onto flash drives and given to parents)
Record Race Day track event information – driver data and photographs are automatically recorded onto flash drive during “Driving Experience” and “Track Days”. These drives are then given to the participant at the end of their day out.

Another interesting development is the use of the branding option on flash drives to include printed bar codes and unique serial numbers. This allows companies to distribute things like software updates via USB drives whilst strictly controlling the distribution of the drives. The drives are scanned as they move around the organisation the combination of bar code and unique serial number “binds” the flash drive to a particular person, location or department.

Whilst unique serial numbers and bar codes are not the most exciting examples of printing on a USB memory stick they do illustrate how creative companies are getting in their use.

Phil is part of the team at USB2U. Launched in 2002 USB2U has now establised iteself as one of the leading supplier of branded flash drives and custom USB memory sticks in the UK.

How USB drives came to be a household item

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: came, Drives, household, item — admin @ 1:54 am

USB Drives are a fantastic little gadget makes data impervious to being damaged, scratched or smudged. They are extremely robust and strong when made properly and the data on a USB stick will last for 50 years. Some flash drives are even made to withstand water meaning a document or data will still be available if the USB is dropped into water.

However with many other things the USB Stick also has its disadvantages. With all flash drives they can only handle a certain number of read, write and erase cycles before becoming warn out and obsolete.

The First generation began hitting the shelves in 1999 as the result of a venture by Singapore organization Trek Technology who sold a USB model called the “Thumb-Drive” this was a huge step for technology as this small usb drive could hold ten times the amount of data on a floppy disk and was more efficient than the ZIP drive.

IBM later took the crown of king USB manufacturer with there product the DiskOnKey USB Stick which was at that point being mass produced by Israeli company M-Systems. This made for a highly competitive market for the small USB drives to be made and sold to the consumer.

In the year 2000 Lexar entered the USB industry with their CF (compact flash) card that featured a USB connection and a companion card reader & writer with USB cable that eliminated the need for USB hubs and other large equipment.

The 4 essential components of these items consist of the Male Type-A USB connector,The Mass Storage Controller module, and the NAND memory chip along with the Crystal Oscillator which creates the device’s main 12 MHz clock signal and transmits the items data output through a phase locked loop. This is all connected with several jumper pins, LEDS, Fuses and write protection modules (if optioned)

The Memory chips used in the manufacturing of Promotional USB drives have become a commodity in latter years with NAND chip prices fluctuating every day the cost of producing changes on a constant basis.

Many flash keys come in funky shapes and styles. Printed and unprinted, Many companies are now purchasing wholesale USB drives and having there company credentials printed onto the USB drives to be used as a promotional item or for internal use by staff.

Its important to be weary when ordering any USB Keys or purchasing from small companies or offshore organizations because of the large influx of fake USB drives. Fake USB Drives are usually characterized in the way they emulate a larger capacity than what is actually available in storage, (e.g: a 128MB USB that shows an 8GB capacity).

Branded USB Battery Flash Drives

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: Battery, Branded, Drives, Flash — admin @ 3:22 pm

by guccio@文房具社

If you’re looking for something a little different, something that will make your brand stand out from the crowd and something that will deliver a bit of a “wow” factor then you might want to think about USB flash drives in the shape of a battery.

Of course these battery shaped flash drives are ideal for any battery manufacturer like Duracell or Energizer but they are also ideal for any company that has products powered by batteries or is looking to “power into new markets”. There are lots of creative ways in which USB battery flash drives could be used and they certainly make a powerful impact!

The battery USB drives are slightly bigger than a standard AA battery (they need to be to accommodate the USB connector), they are made of metal and they have screw cap so they’re a pretty rugged and tough flash drive. Although they have an interesting shape they work just like any standard USB flash drive and they’re available in memory sizes from 64MB all the way up to 16GB!

Despite their shape four colour printing is available of these novel USB sticks and they can be supplied with a variety of different keyring attachments and/or lanyards.

If you do buy branded USB battery shaped memory sticks or in fact any USB stick that you’re going to use for promotional purposes then you need to think about whether you’re going to pre-load the sticks with data before you hand them out. Over the last year there has been a significant increase in the number of companies pre-loading their USB flash drives before they distribute them.

The print, transportation and storage costs of printed material like sales brochures, press releases and product sheets can all be saved by loading electronic versions of them onto the flash drives. In some cases it’s relatively easy to build a business case to fund the purchase of the USB drives from these savings alone. If you build in the additional promotional value that they deliver its no surprise that more and more companies are now buying USB flash drives.

USB Flash Drives Given At School Awards Ceremony

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: Awards, Ceremony, Drives, Flash, given, school — admin @ 4:50 am

by *USB*

USB flash drives have long been popular with schools and universities. Their primary use has been to allow the teachers and students transfer work between home and school in a convenient and portable way. Typically the USB flash drives will be printed with the school logo or crest and either given to the staff and pupils or made available for purchase from the school shop.

There are a number of other innovative ways USB flash drives are being used by schools including:

High Achievers Awards Ceremony – In this case the drives were printed with the school crest and details of the awards ceremony and an electronic version of the award was pre-loaded onto the USB drive before it was given out to the students at the awards evening. The leather USB drives looked fantastic and were incredibly well received by the students.

Recruitment Tool For Intake Events – It’s not unusual for Universities to use USB flash drives at events like Freshers Fairs to equip the prospective students with electronic copies of the available courses, entrance criteria, application procedures and so on. What has been less popular but is on the increase is the use of USB flash drives by schools (particularly independent schools) to inform and “sell” the school to parents of prospective pupils.

The schools have found that USB memory sticks are a professional and handy way to put all of the information about the school, its intake procedures, copies of OFSTEAD reports, performance tables etc. in one place and in many cases its actually cheaper for the school than printing all of these documents.

Design Technology Projects – One of the challenges of Design Technology (DT) for the teachers is to engage the students and get them interested in thinking about, designing and building their own product(s). Designing and then building a custom USB flash drive is a project that is likely to excite students and it’s relatively easy to provide them with the core material needed and a framework within which they can work.

The USB connector, the flash memory and the controller chip all come as a single component which just need a housing placed around it. So, the challenge for the students is to come up with an innovative case design for their USB flash drives and then to think about the packaging and marketing that will support its sale.

As USB flash drives ease themselves more and more into our every day lives the uses they are put to within schools and universities is bound to increase.

How Are Schools Using USB Flash Drives

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: Drives, Flash, Schools, using — admin @ 1:09 am

by *USB*

USB Flash Drives are proving popular with schools and universities up and down the country at the moment but they’re not all buying them for the same reason. Whilst many are buying them for their staff and pupils to enable them to backup and store their work lots of others are getting very creative and are buying them for all manner of events and activities including:

Award Ceremonies – A number of schools are buying USB flash drives printed with the school crest and details of their annual awards evening and are giving the branded flash drives to all of the attendees. The USB drives are pre-loaded with details of all of the award categories and winners before being handed out. Electronic versions of the Award Certificates are pre-loaded onto the drives for the award winners adding a personal touch to their particular drive.

School Open Evenings – Today with significantly more choice and power in the hands of the parent when it comes to selecting a school for their children it’s important that schools actively promote themselves to prospective pupils and parents alike. Pretty much all schools now make lots of information about the school available on the school web site(s) including performance tables, OFSTED reports and intake procedures. Much of this information is also given away on school open evenings but with the amount of information now demanded, printing and collating the information and having it ready for the open evening can be a daunting task. Consequently as an alternative some schools are now making all of this information available on a pre-loaded and branded USB memory sticks. The branded USB sticks are then handed out to the parents who in turn can read and/or print the information at their leisure.

School Shops – some enterprising schools are buying USB flash drives in bulk and at a discount and then reselling the USB sticks to pupils (and staff) via the school shop. Typically the profits flow back to the school but occasionally the purchase and sale of the sticks will be organised by a student group to enable them to fund raise for trips and events.

Fresher Fairs – in an effort to attract students to join certain events and activities at university it’s not unusual for promotional USB flash drives to be given away to encourage them to stop by and listen to a “pitch” at a specific stand.

DT Projects – some schools with students studying GCSE Design Technology have discovered that custom and bespoke USB flash drives are ideal products for students to develop their DT skills on. The core component of a USB flash drive; the controller chip, the flash memory module and the USB connector are readily available from UK suppliers and allow students to design, manufacture and package a complete USB product.

This list is by no means an exhaustive list but it does go some way to illustrate the diverse way in which USB flash drives are being used by schools and universities in the UK.

Buying custom USB flash drives

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: Buying, Custom, Drives, Flash — admin @ 8:26 pm

The advantages of using custom USB flash drives as a promotional medium are pretty much obvious. If you have not already figured out these advantages, then we have enumerated them here. Primarily, these custom flash drives can be customized in any shape or form. You can easily mold the outer covering in the shape of your company logo or brand logo. This will make the people using the flash drive recognize your company or brand name easily and also popularize your company, brand and products by carrying around the promotional flash drives with them. To capitalize effectively on this particular aspect, make sure that the shape you choose is aesthetically attractive and eye-catching.

The shape should relate to your business and product line. For instance, garments and textile manufacturers can use different apparel shapes, cuts and design for their customized USB drive for promoting their company and brand. USB in the shape of a tie or a shirt or a pair of jeans, or a miniature mannequin with company’s trademark designs can be used for the purpose of form customization. The above example was for textile manufacturers. Similarly, different companies can choose different designs for the outer body of the flash drive.

Another advantage of using logo flash drives is that you can easily print the logo of your company or brand on the surface of the USB drive where it is visible the most. Just as the USB manufacturers have their company name and logo printed on the surface of the drives, you can get your company’s name and logo printed on them. Earlier, coporate and social organizations would spread awareness regarding their product or cause (respectively) by distributing such items as pen, paper, watches, cutlery pieces, coasters, coffee mugs etc with their name and logo printed upon them. Less than a quarter of the intended target audience actually used these products in the manner intended. However, with promotional flash drives, success is assured because it is very tough to resist storage space, especially when taking multiple backups of important documents and files has become crucial so as to avoid loss of information due to arbitrary data corruption.

With an expense of around to , you can give away customized USB with a good amount of storage space so that the potential customers are tempted to carry it around with them everywhere, easily popularizing your organization’s name and products. Last but not the least is the cost factor. As stated earlier, good custom USB flash drives with decent amount of storage space (4 gigabytes at least), cost around to . This is a feasible investment per USB drive given the assuredly high return on investment. Instead of giving away multiple customized products in a fiscal year, you can instead opt for promotional USB flash drives. Through the purchase of flash drives wholesale, you can optimize the cost to a greater extent and thereby increase the return on investment.

Great Buying Tips For Promotional USB Drives

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: Buying, Drives, great..., Promotional, Tips — admin @ 6:08 am

by ukslim

Promotional USB drives also known as thumb drives as well as memory sticks are among the best sought after high-tech promotional materials in the market today which can easily win your company client loyalty and customer satisfaction. It is great as a business gift and can be custom imprinted with your company logo. Also you can pre-load digital copies of your sales brochure or sales materials on the drive thereby saving printing cost. With the added benefit of having your clients use the flash drive to store their own information and documents.

If you are looking at buying promotional USB drives there are some key things you need to consider:

Ensure you choose the right design of flash drive: there are numerous types of flash drives with variant designs, and the task of choosing the best one to meet your corporate gifting goal can be daunting. You can let your designer help you make a choice by acquiring some and putting your logo on them. Choose the one that best takes your logo and other design message you desire on it.

Choose a good memory capacity: If you are looking at pre-loading and locking your company sales materials on the flash drive then it’s imperative that there is sufficient space on the drive, not only for storing your companies data but also to make sure the device would be of value to your clients. There is actually a balance between choosing a flash memory that is based on your budget against a higher capacity memory which makes the USB drive more appealing to the recipient. The smaller capacity the memory stick the cheaper the cost.

Print the right logo on the flash: If you have a complex logo with graduated colours, it may be difficult to print it on the memory stick as the printing space is very limited. Such logos are usually simplified before they can be printed on a memory stick.

Print with the best option: Usually memory stick is spot printed, they can equally be embossed or laser engraved. Another very popular option is to use Dome Stickers which are high grade stickers that enable complex logos to be printed under a covering of resin. Its best suited for logos that have tints or graduated colours.

Ensure your artwork is in the correct format: To make your printed memory sticks look great then its vital that you produce your artwork in their highest resolution and in a format that does not shrink or stretch the image data. I.E. Jpeg. Artworks are best supplied in AI or EPS format.

Make definite time frames: Ensure you make allowance for delays when ordering flash drives. Some companies may offer rush service and will charge you more for this service which may ultimately reduce your design options. Most of the hard drives are imported from the Far East and therefore you need to make allowance for about 10 days from the time of approval and eventual delivery of your final product.

USB Flash Drives for Better Branding

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: better, Branding, Drives, Flash — admin @ 2:20 am

by Mat_the_W

USB Flash Drives are one of the hottest items to give away whether you own a large company or a small mom and pop business. USB Flash Drives are also becoming more and more popular to musicians, filmmakers, photographers, and other self-employed individuals because it’s functional and very fun to customize.

I have a photographer friend who puts his portfolio in a customized USB Flash Drive. He made a slideshow of his pictures with a good song on the background to complement his photographs. Whenever he finds the need to promote his works (conference, art shows,etc), he simply puts his slideshow portfolio in customized USB Flash Drives. I think it more effective that way than actually printing the photographs. Besides, it’s more eco-friendly compared to printing the pictures because the USB Flash Drives can be used by the recipients afterward.

But you should also know that using USB Flash Drives could be unappealing if you just use regular USB flash drives that we see everywhere. You should never give out your portfolio in those because it spells B-O-R-I-N-G (and lazy, and unappealing, and…)! It would be like sending out your promotional CD using a plain jewel case. You should customize your USB to WOW people or else it would be a waste of money.

There are plenty of ways to customize USB Flash Drives. Here are some of them:

Print your Name & Logo. This is the most basic way to customize USB Flash Drives. Simply have your logo & company name printed on the standard USB Flash Drive. You can also put your company’s tagline or website at the back to maximize promotion.

Chain. Turn regular USB Flash Drives into cool-looking key chains or necklaces! Remember, you can also customize the shape of the actual USB Flash Drive so that it would not just look like a stick. You can have any design you want- small figurines, lighters, whatever you like! You then make sure it has a small hoop where you can insert the chain.

Wrist Band. If you’re promoting a sport-related product, then you might want to give away (or even sell!) USB Wrist Bands. They should look like regular wrist bands with the USB Flash Drive serving as the lock. Just make sure you make a really cool design so they would always be wearing it wherever they go. Instant promotion for you!

2-in-1 office supply. If your clients have offices which I assume they do, then you might want to give them a cool-looking office supply that also has a flash drive! Let me explain. You have a lot of ways to get creative with USB Flash Drives because they’re so small and you can place it to anything that can hold a small chip. You can pair the USB Flash Drives to ball point pens, small desk figurines, post-its, etc. This is advantageous for you since they will always be reminded of your company in their workstation PLUS many people come and go inside their offices.

There are plenty of ways to customize USB Flash Drives so please don’t just give out plain-looking ones especially if you are a company. You are trying to create a brand/image so maximize your promotion by showing what kind of company you are thru the USB Flash Drives that you give out. Get creative!
