CNC Machining
Can MORXER machine down the height of the enclosure?
Because the enclosure covers are created to fit tightly to the enclosure, once the base is machined down the covers will no longer fit. So this is only recommended for potting boxes or applications that do not require a cover.
Does MORXER have standard machining options that I can choose from?
We can machine any size or shape holes that you needed, on any surface of the enclosure. Polycase design engineers are happy to help you with the design if you need assistance. Based on the board and connectors you use, together we will be able to determine the best locations and sizes of holes that would work for your product.
What are your machining capabilities?
MORXER can machine virtually any size or shape opening that you may require, however all drawings will be reviewed by MORXER to ensure manufacturability. All square and rectangular cutouts will typically have a minimum corner radius of 0.031" and tolerance on machined features will typically be +/-0.005" and these may increase depending on enclosure selected and feature machined. For components we typically recommend sizing your cutouts to be .040" larger than the component (or .020" for round cutouts). Occasionally, certain features may not be able to be machined or will require a non-standard approach which could increase the machining price. This would be determined when the order is placed. Contact MORXER Technical Support if you have specific questions regarding a machined feature.
Digital Printing
What’s the difference between digital printing and pad printing?
Digital printing involves the spraying of ink directly onto the enclosure and then curing with UV light. The printer uses software to manage the image, controlling when the printer releases tiny droplets of ink directly onto the enclosure’s surface. The ink is applied in a specific sequence and pattern that allows the digital image to be accurately recreated. Digital printers have the capacity to print a variety of colors and gradients, but there are some limitations (like neon colors). When digital printing, we utilize specially designed fixtures to ensure accuracy. Because of this, if the enclosure is too large or has a feature that will compromise the print or equipment, we will likely resort to pad printing.Pad printing uses a plate to transfer ink from the pad to the enclosure. This method only allows one color to be printed at a time, along with only being able to do a single enclosure at a time. The quality between digital printing and pad printing oftentimes does not vary.
Is your ink scratch resistant?
The ink used in the digital printing process is UV cured. The adhesion / scratch resistance of the ink on the plastic is excellent. The ink cannot be scratched off of the plastic without mechanically scratching into the plastic itself. Internal cross hatch cut and tape testing resulting in no ink being pulled up after testing was completed.
Is your ink UV resistant?
The ink used in our printing process is acrylic based; UV cured, and is an ink system that is used for labels. It's not labeled as UV resistant because it reacts with, and is cured by UV light. However, the ink can be exposed to UV rays. The ink is commonly used in the sign and banner industries which endure heavy UV exposure. As with any ink, the color will fade over time. You may start to see fading in 2-3 years for typical outdoor applications and 3-5 years for typical indoor applications.
What artwork is required for printing?
Vector based artwork is required. This includes, but is not limited to, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, and .pdf or .eps files.Colors will be printed per your electronic artwork file. Artwork should be designed for the CMYK color space. If a PMS color value is requested, the CMYK equivalent will be printed. There may be a color shift in the process depending on the specific spot color. Black, red, and white are the available colors for keypad printing.When printing is ordered, graphic file(s) with fonts converted to outlines or curves is suggested. If not converted, any fonts that are used should be sent along with the graphic file(s). If a font is not provided MORXER will use Arial.
What are your printing capabilities?
MORXER offers full-color digital printing (also referred to as a 4-color process or CMYK) on most surfaces. It can be used for simple text, gradients, blended colors, color transitions, or photo-quality images. Vector based artwork (designed for the CMYK color space) is required for printing.MORXER does not perform a digital color match to a specific Pantone color. With digital printing, neon or some bright colors may be unachievable. Please contact MORXER for more information to determine if the desired ink color is achievable.In the unlikely event a surface is not eligible for full-color digital printing, MORXER can pad print. During approval process, MORXER will advise if pad printing will be performed.
Color Customization
Can I customize the color I want?
Yes, we can customize different colors for you, but your selected model may already come in the color you desire.
What are the methods for color customization?
We primarily achieve color customization by adding color to the material or by post-process surface treatments.
How do these methods compare?
Adding color during material production typically results in more durable and uniform coloring. Post-process surface treatments offer greater flexibility but may not be as durable or long-lasting as base material coloring.
How should I choose?
The best method depends on the product’s usage environment, cost budget, and aesthetic requirements. The first method is more suitable for large-scale production.
Custom Labels
What materials are available for labels?
Labels are generally made from weather-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, PVC, PET, polyester, etc.
What are the characteristics of these materials?
These materials are resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and water, making them ideal for outdoor or industrial environments.

Laser Printing
What’s the difference between laser printing and digital printing?
Laser printing uses lasers to heat and fuse toner onto the material surface. It offers single-color, textured lines and is typically more cost-effective than UV printing.
s laser printing scratch-resistant?
Yes, laser printing usually provides good scratch resistance.
Is laser printing UV-resistant?
Laser printing has moderate UV resistance, but prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause fading. It’s best suited for indoor or non-sunlight-intensive applications.
