Choosing an Enclosure Manufacturer

When you decide to purchase a home, you don’t drive by the house, then call the agent and pay the money – do you? Well for sure I would do my homework and you need to as well.

The same can be said for purchase an enclosure or a kiosk, purchasing a kiosk enclosure is an investment and should not be entered into lightly.

Choosing a manufacturer.
There are many high quality manufacturers throughout the world and on the flip side there are manufacturers who will come up with a product that is marginal, as they see enclosures for digital signage as a high profit maker, so one of the first things to do is look at their testimonials, check them to see if the customers are from the digital signage or retail sector, it is no good if you choose a manufacturer who has little knowledge of digital signage.

For example if you see a web site and the customer recommendations are from manufacturing or industrial companies, the chance is the manufacturer has supplied them with an industrial enclosure for their factory floor not a digital outdoor enclosure, so they will not understand fully the requirements for signage access.

Another tool in checking out a manufacturer is to visit their manufacturing facility; here you can see how much of the production is actually related to dynamic signage, you will also be able to get a feel for the units as the most successful manufacturers will have the odd kiosk in their reception or foyer, so visitors can have a play and see the quality of their work.

One company we know have an “open door policy”, so if anyone wants to visit their site they just call in and they are shown round the facility, the Manager has been caught out a few times in jeans and flip flops, however the product and reputation of the company speaks for itself.
