Scope of supply
List shell, cover, fittings and assembly tasks separately so the quotation describes the supplied item accurately.
Custom Stainless Steel Enclosure Shells
Folded stainless steel enclosure shells with custom cutouts and mounting tabs. An open shell can be specified for integration into your assembly; covers, gaskets and installed components are separate unless included in the inquiry.

Enclosure Shells: dimensions and quotation parameters.
The dimensions below help us review enclosure shells. State units and critical tolerances on the original drawing. The illustration explains the type of geometry; it does not define a standard size.
| Finished envelope | Provide outside size and the required internal clearance. |
|---|---|
| Cutout schedule | Dimension connectors, displays and service openings. |
| Closure interface | Define the cover overlap, tabs and fixing pattern. |
| Corner construction | Specify open corners, welded seams or other joining requirements. |
| Material & quantity | Give the exact metal grade, standard, temper or condition, quantity per revision and planned repeat orders. |
| Units & tolerances | Use mm or inches consistently. Mark the dimensions that control fit and the inspection datum. |
Thickness range, minimum features, tolerances, finish availability and delivery date are reviewed for your actual part. No catalog dimension or blanket machining tolerance is implied.
What we review
before cutting.
Finished dimensions and the relationship between cutting, bend direction and the assembly interface.
Protection rating
If sealing or an enclosure rating is required, provide the complete specification; the material and shape alone do not establish it.
Material and finish
belong in the drawing.
Grade, environment and visible-face requirements are separate specification choices. Include them before quotation so the material and process route can be reviewed together.
Specify the grade
Stainless steel options include 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 430 and duplex 2205. Carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, copper and brass can also be discussed for your drawing. State the exact grade and applicable material standard.
Read the grade selection reference for general material context. Availability, product form and suitability are confirmed for the project. Explore all six material families.
Define the finished surface
Identify a mill finish, brushed appearance or another specified finish; include the visible face, grain direction and any surface-roughness requirement.
Specify edge deburring, protective-film handling and packing if they affect the delivered part. Read the finish terminology guide.
Material options are reviewed against your drawing, grade, thickness and finishing needs. Stainless steel remains our core focus; sourcing and the manufacturing route are confirmed during quotation.
Inspect the features
that matter to your assembly.
Review the finished envelope, closure interface and cutouts. Agree additional checks for joining or sealing requirements.
Provide the inspection datum, critical dimensions and any requested records with the inquiry. A model preview supports communication; the approved engineering drawing remains the manufacturing reference.
Quality & material requirementsEnclosure Shells:
common questions.
Can you supply just the enclosure shell?
Yes. State exactly which folded pieces and secondary operations are included, and provide the interfaces for covers and installed components.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send your enclosure shells drawing, grade, thickness or tube section, quantity, finish and critical dimensions. A clear PDF or image is accepted for review; a DXF supports flat cutting contours.
Can I request prototypes and production batches?
Include prototype quantity and expected repeat quantity in the inquiry. Batch size, process route and lead time are confirmed after the drawing and specification review.
Send your enclosure shells drawing.
Send the file and procurement requirements. No customer account is needed.
