At BLG Fiberglass, we understand that protecting your product is just as important as designing it. Custom plastic enclosures safeguard components, extend product life, and give you the flexibility to create designs that stand out. Here’s why investing in a custom enclosure makes a real difference.
How Plastic Enclosures Boost Product Durability
Durability isn’t just toughness-it’s about protecting your product from everyday challenges. Custom plastic enclosures help in several ways:
Protecting Against Physical Damage
Custom enclosures absorb impacts and prevent damage from drops or bumps. By designing enclosures that match a product’s shape and weight, we can protect critical components and improve reliability.
Withstanding Environmental Challenges
Moisture, extreme temperatures, UV rays, and chemicals can all damage products. Choosing the right plastic-like ABS, polycarbonate, or PETG-ensures your enclosure resists warping, corrosion, and fading.
Reducing Long-Term Costs
Durable enclosures prevent damage before it happens. That means fewer repairs, less downtime, and lower warranty claims-a real cost-saving for your business.
Custom Enclosures Enhance Design Flexibility
Beyond protection, custom enclosures open up new possibilities in design and functionality.
Tailored Form Factors
Every product is unique. Custom enclosures fit components precisely, making the most of available space while keeping the product compact and efficient.
Aesthetic Options
Enclosures can be colored, textured, or branded to match your design vision. Custom finishes help your product stand out and reinforce your brand.
Built-In Functional Features
We can integrate vents, mounting points, cable channels, or interface cutouts directly into the enclosure during the manufacturing process for plastic enclosures.
Choosing the Right Materials
Material choice is key for performance and cost. Common options include:
- ABS: Strong and impact-resistant. Great for industrial applications.
- Polycarbonate (PC): High impact and thermal resistance. Ideal for electronics.
- PETG: Flexible, chemical-resistant, and moderately tough. Perfect for varied environments.
At BLG, we guide clients in selecting the best material for their specific application.
Applications Across Industries
Custom plastic enclosures are used in many industries:
- Automotive & Industrial Equipment: Protect vehicle and machinery components from dust, impact, and environmental stress, while optimizing layout and assembly efficiency.
- Medical Devices: Provide reliable housings that meet hygiene and durability standards.
- Outdoor / Marine Equipment: Resist UV, water, and harsh weather conditions.
- Wind Turbines: Nacelles, rotor components, and terminal enclosures, designed to withstand harsh weather, vibration, and operational stress.
