If your product line has grown to the point where you need a bespoke PCB box, it’s an exciting milestone, but also one that comes with new challenges. Suitable enclosures are easy enough to source when you only need a few, but once you get into the hundreds and thousands, the logistics and supply chain becomes much more complicated and riskier.
The Advantage of Custom Enclosures
Committing to a well-designed bespoke PCB box or enclosure improves the quality and functionality of your products. When done right, a custom enclosure fits seamlessly, requiring no further adjustments and resulting in a polished, ready-to-ship product.
While sourcing a few standard-size enclosures can be straightforward, managing production at a large scale is more complex. Logistics and supply chains become harder to manage, and the risk of inconsistencies grows. Partnering with an experienced provider for enclosure design and production can help you maintain a consistent, high-quality output without the additional steps or damaged products.
The Active EMS Approach
As part of our DFM (design for manufacture) regime, we understand how to commercialise this step, from designing the enclosure and choosing where to have the mould tool made, to advising on efficient production quantities and methods.
Initial Concept and Design
Every effective enclosure starts with a thorough design. Our team captures your product’s specifications and creates a custom enclosure that balances function with efficient manufacturability. From 3D printing samples to testing fit and function, we refine every detail, setting up for large-scale production.
Creating the Mould Tool
After design, we move on to selecting the right mould tools, allowing for consistency across thousands of units, with minimal error. Our expertise ensures your enclosures meet exact specifications every time.
Logistics and Distribution
Beyond enclosures, we offer an all-in-one solution if we populate the PCB, including assembly, programming, and testing. This helps us streamline production, reducing lead times and maintaining quality.
To guarantee timely delivery, we work with reliable logistics partners who help us manage the journey from production to customer. This end-to-end approach supports an efficient supply chain and keeps you focused on your business.
