Flexible Solutions

Effective venting is one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of enclosure design. Whether protecting sensitive electronics, automotive components, or sensor systems, proper venting ensures reliability, safety, and long-term performance. By understanding the role of a vent, how venting solution works, why they're necessary, and how to choose the right materials and designs, engineers can create enclosures that maintain functionality even in harsh environments.

Check out the extended blog on the Rogers website, How To Design Effective Enclosure Vents: Balancing Pressure, Moisture, and Protection, and the video below.

Gaskets and seals can be manufactured in a number of different ways, but which is the best form for your application? In our blog, "An Engineer's Guide: 6 Key Questions for Gasket Fabrication", we discussed a number of different processes that could be used to cut your custom gasket or seal like rotary die cutting, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and more.

This Enclosure Institute™ content from Marian and Rogers Corporation focuses on the difference between die-cut foam gaskets and three other sealing methods: o-rings, cure-in-place (CIP), and foam-in-place (FIP) gaskets.

Selecting the right fabrication process for custom seals and gaskets starts with answering a few critical design-for-manufacturing (DFM) questions. By addressing these factors upfront, design engineers can avoid costly redesigns, speed up production, and ensure that their parts meet application requirements. At Marian, our engineers use these questions (and more) to create a fabrication plan tailored to each project.

This guide is presented by the Enclosure Institute™. For a deeper dive, explore the extended blog on the Rogers website, Top 8 Best Practices You Need to Know for Enclosure Die-Cut Gaskets, along with the video below hosted by Marian's own Phil Taylor and Jimmy Budd.

In these resources, you'll learn how starting with the right gasket design can optimize geometry to balance sealing force, fasteners, and load distribution. You'll also see why selecting manufacturing methods that align with production scale is critical for efficiency. Assembly features such as pull-tabs, locating holes, and specialized adhesives help streamline installation and minimize errors. Finally, packaging and delivery strategies play an often-overlooked role in protecting gasket integrity while making assembly faster and more reliable.

The Application Challenge

Marian's converting capabilities span across a very wide variety of industries. You may already know that we’re highly involved in the medical, battery, automotive, and consumer electronics industries (among many others), but you truly can find Marian parts all around you, even in the vending machines dispensing your favorite drinks and snacks.

Keep reading to learn more about a customer that manufactures and refurbishes beverage and vending machines and how they incorporated Marian custom die-cut components to improve the machines for a consistent user experience.

Digital displays are an integral part of modern vehicle dashboards, household appliances, consumer electronics, and more. In applications like thermostats, cell phones, smart watches, and vehicles, displays allow a simplified, interactive experience for users. To make these digital display assemblies, manufacturers require a variety of die-cut components that, when combined, come together to make an impressive display that provides extreme clarity and a user-friendly experience, which we highlight below.

What are Clean Rooms?

Cleanrooms are controlled environments designed to maintain low levels of airborne particles and contaminants. They are used in a wide range of industries where cleanliness is paramount, including medical, electronics, biotechnology, display, aerospace, and more.
