In our blog, "[An Engineer's Guide: 6 Key Questions for Gasket Fabrication](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/enclosure-gasket-fabrication-guide)", 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.** Check out a summary of our content below or [read the full article on Rogers’ website.](https://www.rogerscorp.com/blog/2025/how-to-compare-o-rings-cut-gaskets-cure-in-place-and-foam-in-place-gaskets) [Enroll in The Enclosure Institute™ to advance your sealing design expertise.](https://marianinc.com/enclosure-institute/)   *\*Disclaimer: The [Enclosure Institute™](https://marianinc.com/enclosure-institute/) is a free educational resource created by Marian, Inc. and Rogers Corporation to help engineers navigate enclosure sealing with expert guidance.* --- [Read More](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/gasket-technology) Topics: [Foams](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/foams), [Manufacturing](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/manufacturing), [BISCO Silicone](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/bisco-silicone), [PORON](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/poron), [Material selection](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/material-selection), [Die Cutting](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/die-cutting), [Automated Assembly](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/automated-assembly), [Gasket](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/gasket), [Assembly](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/assembly), [Enclosure Institute](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosure-institute), [Seals](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/seals), [Enclosures](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosures), [Rogers Corporation](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/rogers-corporation) ## [An Engineer's Guide: 6 Key Questions For Gasket Fabrication](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/enclosure-gasket-fabrication-guide) Posted by [Ben Hvidston](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/author/ben-hvidston) October 3, 2025 12:03 PM [![An Engineer's Guide: 6 Key Questions For Gasket Fabrication](https://blog.marianinc.com/hubfs/EI%20blog%2014%20image.jpg)](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/enclosure-gasket-fabrication-guide) 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*](https://www.rogerscorp.com/blog/2025/top-8-best-practices-you-need-to-know-for-enclosure-die-cut-gaskets), along with the[video](https://youtu.be/C2R3murkcf8?si=3q5EoTBrMyEh2_r1) 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. *\*Disclaimer: The [Enclosure Institute™](https://marianinc.com/enclosure-institute/) is a free educational resource created by Marian, Inc. and Rogers Corporation to help engineers navigate enclosure sealing with expert guidance.* --- [Read More](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/enclosure-gasket-fabrication-guide) Topics: [Foams](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/foams), [Manufacturing](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/manufacturing), [BISCO Silicone](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/bisco-silicone), [PORON](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/poron), [Material selection](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/material-selection), [Die Cutting](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/die-cutting), [Automated Assembly](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/automated-assembly), [Gasket](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/gasket), [Assembly](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/assembly), [Enclosure Institute](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosure-institute), [Seals](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/seals), [Enclosures](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosures), [Rogers Corporation](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/rogers-corporation) ## [Application Story: Improved Permanent Bonding Solution](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/permanent-bonding) Posted by [Brook Girkin](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/author/brook-girkin) September 24, 2025 4:13 PM [![Application Story: Improved Permanent Bonding Solution](https://blog.marianinc.com/hubfs/Permanent%20bonding-1.jpg)](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/permanent-bonding) Marian's converting capabilities span across a very wide variety of industries.
