  Demand communication and confirmation:

  First of all,we need to fully communicate with the customer to understand the specific requirements of the customer on the custom USB flash drive,including the pattern you want to engrave,text content,USB flash drive material,color,capacity and so on.Laser engraving design process may take from one hour to one day,depending on the complexity of the customer’s needs and the degree of smooth communication.

  For example,if the customer has a very unique idea for the pattern design,it will take more time to elaborate and confirm.

  Rendering:

  The design team uses professional design software to create the rendering of the customized USB flash drive according to the client’s requirements.This process generally takes the fastest 1 hour,up to one day,if the pattern is more complex or need to make several revisions to achieve customer satisfaction,the time may be extended to two days.

2、Sample making session(1 hour)

  Sample carving and production:

  After the customer confirms the effect drawing,start to make the sample USB flash disk.The designed pattern and text will be engraved on the USB flash disk by laser engraving equipment,and at the same time,we should make sure that the other functions of the USB flash disk are normal,such as storage function,reading and writing speed,etc.This process usually takes 1 hour.This process usually takes 1 hour.

  However,if there are technical problems in the production process,such as laser engraving parameters are not set reasonably,resulting in unsatisfactory engraving results,the need to re-adjust the parameters and engraving again,then the time of this link may be extended to 2 hours.

3、Mass production link(1-3 days)

  Production preparation:

  After the customer is satisfied with the samples,we will enter the mass production stage.First of all,we have to carry out the production preparation work,including purchasing sufficient quantity of USB flash drive raw materials,preparing the consumables needed for the laser engraving equipment(such as laser head replacement parts,etc.),arranging for the production staff,etc.This process usually takes 1 day to 3 days.This part usually takes 1 day to 3 days.
