Enhancing Electronic Devices With Custom Plastics
From phones and thermostats to controls and digital tools, electronic devices play numerous critical roles in our personal and professional lives. Whether for protection, aesthetics, or functionality, custom plastics can improve the durability, performance, and usability of these important tools across countless industries. Here are just a few of the ways plastics can improve how our electronic devices function and how we interact with them.
Protection
Perhaps the most important reason to use custom plastic parts with electronic devices is to protect vulnerable components from wear and damage, prolonging their usable life. Plastic housings and cases can protect electronics from many hazards, including:

- Eliminating or minimizing exposure to water and other liquids
- Reducing the effects of vibrations and impacts on delicate electronic parts
- Limiting buildup of dirt, dust, and debris
- Reducing wear and tear from frequent use
- Insulating devices from unwanted contact among electrical components
- Protection from magnetic interference
Visual Appeal
With their versatility and customizability, plastics can add aesthetic value to many products, showcasing a product or brand style, or adding flair and personality. Some types of products which can benefit from an attractive plastic case or housing include:
- Remote controls
- Thermostats
- Televisions and streaming devices
- Security cameras
- Mobile phones
- Handheld games
- Clocks
- Calculators
Enhanced Functionality & Performance
Custom injection molded plastics can be very lightweight and can provide additional functionality and improved performance for electronic devices such as:
- A case which can fold into a stand
- Cases and housing provide room for air circulation
- Ergonomic features and comfortable buttons and other controls
- Integrated pen holders
- Safety features such as latches, switches, and toggles
- Handles and grips
- Viewing windows and protective clear covers
