Aluminum Parts: Enclosures and Housings

Aluminum Parts Boxes: Enclosures and Housings for Packaging and for Protection

Companies these days have a lot of options when it comes to how they can package their products, freebies, or marketing materials. These options include the usual corrugated, plastic, set up, or wood boxes. Aside from these, a new option has been created in aluminum boxes. Aside from that, these enclosures or housings also have other uses.

These are boxes made out of aluminum alone or in combination with acrylic. The companies can choose from any style like tote box, two-piece set up, or like CD/DVD boxes. The boxes can have details for aesthetics like laser etching, anodizing, and powder coating.

Aluminum housings, aluminum enclosures and aluminum boxes are all quite associated in that they cover something as packaging media. These boxes can conduct electricity so that means it can easily get grounded.

Most of these boxes are die casts because the production entails lesser labor requirements and the production process is much faster. What’s more, these casings weigh lighter that the steel fabricated parts.

Depending on how big or heavy the parts are, about a few hundreds to a few thousands of these can be produced every day. These boxes or housings are usually used for: engine enclosures for automobiles and trucks, housing for computer disk drives, motors, communication companies, car transmission housing, and for electrical junction boxes.

Aside from using aluminum boxes for packaging of retail products, they are used as enclosures for electronic products that are sensitive to dust, moisture, or sudden impact. These boxes are used to protect the items from damage of any sort.

  1. Needless to say, aluminum is a lightweight material. Aluminum generally looks attractive when placed on Acrylic stands. Some Auto shop equipment are also made of aluminum because of this weight factor, especially in sports cars.
