Sandisk Launches Licensed Crayola Lineup of USB-C Flash Drives

Sandisk and Crayola today announced that the companies have partnered together to launch the Sandisk Crayola USB-C Flash Drive, the first officially licensed Crayola USB flash drive available for purchase starting today. Teachers, parents, and students are no strangers to stacks of schoolwork or growing collections of precious artwork. Now, they can store art projects, homework assignments, favorite photos, games, and more in an adorable crayon-shaped flash drive - perfect for making space for even more creativity.

These colorful USB-C flash drives celebrate the iconic Crayola brand, empowering artists and creators for more than 120 years. From the playful crayon shape to the signature Crayola crayon box packaging, the Sandisk Crayola USB-C Flash Drive combines nostalgia, creativity, and practicality. It is available in a range of vibrant colors, including Mango Tango, Cerulean Blue, Electric Lime, and Vivid Violet, making it a collectible and fun accessory for Crayola fans of all ages.
The Sandisk Crayola USB-C Flash Drive doesn't just look fun, it's also designed for easy use. When connected to a desktop computer, a distinctive Crayola icon appears in the "Files" app to help users quickly identify the drive. With the Sandisk Memory Zone app, files can be backed up, organized, and transferred across USB-C tablets, computers, and other devices. This ensures that creative projects, schoolwork, and digital memories stay safe, organized, and shareable.
"Creativity takes many forms, and our role at Sandisk is to ensure it's protected and easy to share," said Philippe Willams, Director, Business Development, Strategic Partnerships and Licensing at Sandisk. "Partnering with Crayola brings together our expertise in storage with a brand that has inspired generations, giving students, parents, and teachers a fun and nostalgic way to preserve and share their most creative work."
"Crayola has been at the forefront of creativity for over a century," said Rob Spindley, Licensing Director-International at Crayola. "A partnership with Sandisk feels natural, as the world of creativity has evolved in the digital age. From young artists bringing their ideas to life on paper and save their work digitally, to amateur photographers capturing the beauty of the world around them, we are thrilled to partner with Sandisk to help support today's diverse community of creators."
Key features include:
  • Four Vibrant Colors: The Sandisk Crayola USB-C Flash Drive is available in multiple bright, fun colors: Mango Tango, Cerulean Blue, Electric Lime, or Vivid Violet. In North America, the Vivid Violet color will be exclusively available at Walmart through January 2026.
  • Space for Imagination: Whether it's art projects, family photos, or schematics for ingenious inventions, store your favorites with up to 256 GB of space.
  • Sharing Capabilities Across Devices: Files can be moved between USB-C tablets, computers, and other devices to share what users love-and are most proud of-quickly and easily.
  • Additional Back-Up and Transfer Options: Files can easily be transferred, organized, and backed up using the Sandisk Memory Zone app for Windows, Mac devices, tablets, and more, so that precious work doesn't get lost.
  • Many Ways to Create: To celebrate the creativity of Crayola fans, with their purchase, users will enjoy a 3-month subscription to the Crayola Create & Play app and Thinking Sheets-interactive activities designed to spark creativity, confidence, and self-expression!
The Sandisk Crayola USB-C Flash Drive is available for purchase at shop.sandisk.com and select retailers and e-tailers around the world in 64 GB ($14.99 MSRP), 128 GB ($19.99 MSRP), and 256 GB ($28.99 MSRP).

Looks cool. The only issue I see is putting that much weight/leverage on a USB-B connector is asking for damage or failure.

I might have to get one just to go with this that I use for lunch most days:


I've had this thing for years. Saw them hanging on a side rack at my local grocery store nearly 20 years ago. My wife actually asked if I was serious about buying a couple of them. Hell yes. Put my sandwich in them, wash and reuse, instead of wasting plastic sandwich bags. Plus, it has crayons on it. Got two of them, the other one has a yellow lid and is slightly less worn.

4 COLORS ?? W.t.F....

I want one in each of the ~100+ colors that real crayons are available in, so I can have matching sets, or no buy, no way, 'jose, hahaha :D

I don't see an issue with the weight, but with the girth. These certainly aren't for using at motherboards backpanels, and I'm a bit sceptical about ultrathin laptops.

I bet my missus would love one of them, though.

Pretty neat idea but I think their marketing is way off. Grade school kids (or kids at all these dasy) don't use USB drives but I'm sure these will be a hit with Millennials and GenX.

Am I the only one thinking this is a dumb idea? Unless you are James Bond Jr?

Kids will eat or break these, or both. Parents will throw them away along with other broken crayons. What then?

Edit: Oh, I see they are not the same size as other crayons. That at least is a relief.

I could see computer viruses being spread faster than covid-19 with these. Among other devious exploits. I'd rather give children actual crayons, colored pencils, and drawing paper.

You really don't understand how computers work do you?
