I have an order for about 50 or so USB memory sticks, of 8 gig, with data I've scanned, OCRed and PDFed from several books.
It's all legitimate, and with the blessing of the original copyright owner, despite the books I scanned being 80+ years old.
(I bought a nice book scanner last year, and I was able to get through about 1000 pages in 50 minutes' scanning)
But rather than sell them on a plain normal memory stick, I wanted to value-ad, by lasering the logo of the book on the outside, and I had ideas of a timber batten that they could be glued into - or anything, to make them not look like a common cheap duplicatable memory stick - which I can then laser the contents name onto.
I've seen plenty that look like they have a laserable coating in various colours, and some seem to have a stainless steel (?) foldable cover.
I was wondering if anyone here has tried such a gimmick, or has any tips to offer,
thanks
