West Ham FC has commissioned 10pdm to design and produce a custom moulded USB

West Ham USB designed by WeAreUSB.com

After looking at what was available at other Premier League Clubs West Ham United merchandising team decided to create something unique for their USB, so they partnered with 10th Planet’s USB division; WeAreUSB.com; a company that specialises in custom moulded memory sticks.

“When we got the call I was personally over the moon” says avid West Ham supporter Richard Lamb (Sales Director). “The brief was simple: We would like a USB memory stick custom moulded in PVC that represents the 1958 West Ham strip as worn by the late, great, Bobby Moore. We want it packed for retail’.

Using West Ham’s brand guidelines and original images of the historic strip, WeAreUSB’s design team created a set of CAD proofs for approval. Once approved, a prototype was created of the famous strip in the following week.

Within a month the final USB went on sale in the West Ham shop and online, the entire production and design process having been smoothly project managed by WeAreUSB.com.

10pdm have launched a unique 3 dimensional custom moulded USB service to coincide with the opening of a new facility in China.

From a real object or a few photographs, a bespoke moulded USB housing is made to accommodate flash memory up to 16GB. This transforms the USB stick from one that could easily be lost amongst competitor’s offerings to a truly unique representation of a brand’s image.

From simple 3D renditions of a logo, to miniature facsimiles of real objects; such as mobile phones, trainers and ships; the 10pdm product design team have accomplished some truly lifelike USB sticks.

A variety of materials can be used, the most common being PVC, though silicone and PET offer different textures and tactility.

The addition of a production facility in the Far East means the company can offer factory-direct pricing with the service level of an experienced UK marketing support services company. In addition fixed UK costs mean no fluctuations due to import duties or exchange rates.

Marketed under the www.flash-duplication.com brand, the company has offered off the shelf USB products as an alternative to its core DVD and CD offering since 2006. The extension of this service to encompass a truly bespoke service will further strengthen the branded promotional gifts offering of 10pdm.
