Engraving
This durable marking method looks great on any material with a contrasting surface treatment such as anodized aluminum or layered acrylic. For more information, see our Rotary vs Laser Engraving article.
Finishing:
Anodizing
While pre-anodized aluminum is available, we can also anodize your panels post-cutting to provide a full-coverage durable finish.
Powder Coating
Protect your panel with a high-quality powder coat applied as a final step.
Painting
Get creative with painted finishes! Available in a range of colors and textures.
Accessories:
Press-Fit Fasteners
Mount PCBs, attach mounting hardware, and more with press-fit fasteners built into your panel. Concealed-head and flush-head available. Flush-mount nuts available on panels 0.090" and thicker. Perfect for adding windows and vents too!
Captive Fasteners
Perfect for frequently-removed panels and components. These fasteners stay attached to the panel even when loosened, preventing loss or damage to equipment.
Switch Guards & Hardware
We carry switch guards, panel handles, fasteners, and more. Check out our Accessories & Hardware section, or contact us if you have something specific in mind.
We stock a variety of common materials in multiple colors and thicknesses, but can source nearly anything with a very short turnaround. If you don't see what you're looking for here, just contact us.
