Recycled Plastic Flash Drives - Perfect For Business and Advertising

The idea to recycle plastic is an excellent one. And you'd be amazed at how useful recycled plastic products can be. Everyone who uses a computer will have used a flash drive or memory stick at some point. And there is no need to rely on ones that aren't made from recycled stuff any more either.

Eco-friendly USB memory sticks are a great way to promote any business. For starters they are extremely useful and people tend to view them as a reasonably expensive item as a result.

This is good news for your business as your generosity and practical nature will not go unnoticed. And neither will your business name and logo, since you can have them printed onto any number of recycled plastic flash drives you wish to buy. As recycled business gifts go, these have to be among the most useful ones on the market today.

Furthermore there are lots of different designs made from either recycled plastic, recycled rubber or a mix of both. Various kinds of recycled stuff can be used to create flash drives of different shapes and sizes, so you will always be able to find something that suits your needs, as well as those of your customers of course.

You might like to opt for the keyring version that will keep the flash drive close at hand at all times. Alternatively a twist design will enable you to keep the memory stick safe from dust when it isn't being used. But whatever style you use you can have your business name in a prime position on the recycled plastic casing.

Of course buying a batch of memory sticks made from recycled plastic products will involve an outlay for you at the beginning. But they could solve the problem of having to think about what to buy as corporate or business gifts.

You can have presentation boxes made up from recycled cardboard that have your business name on the front as well. This enables you to give them away and make them that bit more eye catching too. A recycled plastic or recycled rubber flash drive inside a box made from recycled cardboard - what better way to promote your business as an eco-friendly one than this?

How to Make Your Own Custom Molded Rubber Products

Your out antique shopping and low and behold, there on the shelf is one of those great old fashioned glass seltzer bottles like they used to squirt each other with on those old three stooges shows. Whats more, it actually works! Save for the rubber seals in it that have completely turned to stone over the years. So how on earth are you going to ever find replacements?

Some Odd Custom Molded Rubber Product

In fact, it can be anything for that matter that is in need of some odd custom molded rubber product. Or maybe even you are working on some new invention that requires a one of a kind molded rubber product that you just can't buy in a store or online.

Buy What You Need Locally and Online

Now you have the option of making your own custom molded rubber products right in your own home using simple materials that you can buy on line and at your local hardware store. Items like modeling clay and simple spray paint.

Three Easiest Types Of Rubber To Work With At Home

The best types of rubber to use to make custom molded rubber products is either liquid latex, two part polymer rubber mix or silicone rubber that you can buy at your local hardware store in tubes. However; be forewarned that all are messy to work with and once set or cured are impossible to remove from fabrics.

Modeling Clay Works Great For Simple Molds

If your in luck, you have the rubber item that needs to be replaced. If this is the case you may be able to get away with simply making an impression in the modeling clay by pressing it into it. Give the impression a light coat of "high gloss" spray paint and it's done.

Create Your Own Custom Molded Rubber Product

Simply mist it with silicone spray and pour your latex or two part polymer blend rubber in. Or you can try squeezing some silicone rubber into the impression from a tube but you will find that silicone rubber is very unforgiving to work with.
