The proper plastic enclosure design is crucial when starting a new project after developing a product, not only for an excellent visual attribute but also for practical usability for the end-user. From plain boxes to intricate enclosures, there are many different types. The device’s size, shape, and intended use are just a few considerations when selecting an enclosure. The enclosure choice impacts the affordability, durability, and ease of assembly.

- Choose the enclosure’s material.
