Design engineers are under pressure to deliver lighter, thinner, and safer enclosures that protect sensitive electronics from harsh environments while still meeting demanding performance standards. This shift is transforming how gaskets and seals are designed and what materials are being used across key markets such as [electric vehicles (EVs)](https://marianinc.com/battery-and-electric-vehicle/), [medical devices](https://marianinc.com/medical-electronics-devices/), [energy storage systems (ESS)](https://marianinc.com/non-automotive-battery/), and [data centers](https://marianinc.com/data-centers/). Check out the extended blog on the Rogers website, [The Future of Sealing: How Tomorrow's Applications Are Changing](https://www.rogerscorp.com/blog/2025/the-future-of-sealing-how-tomorrows-applications-are-changing), and the[video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owTAFcGysHw) below to see where enclosures are heading and what will be necessary by the teams designing these enclosures.  *\*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/next-gen-sealing) Topics: [Manufacturing](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/manufacturing), [PORON](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/poron), [Vent Material](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/vent-material), [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), [PTFE Membrane](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/ptfe-membrane), [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), [ePTFE](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/eptfe) ## [How to Choose the Right Vent for Your Enclosure Design](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/enclosure-venting) Posted by [Ben Hvidston](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/author/ben-hvidston) October 24, 2025 11:42 AM [![How to Choose the Right Vent for Your Enclosure Design](https://blog.marianinc.com/hubfs/EI%20blog%2016%20image.jpg)](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/enclosure-venting) Effective [venting](https://marianinc.com/materials/filters-venting-fabric/) 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](https://www.rogerscorp.com/blog/2025/how-to-design-effective-enclosure-vents-balancing-pressure-moisture-and-protection), and the[video](https://youtu.be/247o6VFQEDE?si=b8Mp3zm_0N_7bXFl) below.  *\*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-venting) Topics: [Manufacturing](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/manufacturing), [PORON](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/poron), [Vent Material](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/vent-material), [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), [PTFE Membrane](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/ptfe-membrane), [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), [ePTFE](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/eptfe) [All posts](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/all) This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. -
