Custom Electrical Enclosure Colors and Logo Printing: What Should You Confirm Before Ordering?

When ordering a custom electrical enclosure from Vililong, can you choose your own cabinet color, company logo, and other markings?
Of course, customization is possible. But before we say yes to every requirement, we need to check the actual details.
Where do you want the logo? How large should it be? Is it a single-color logo or a multicolor design? Can the panel be removed from the cabinet?
These details may seem small, but they can make a big difference in the manufacturing process, quotation, and delivery time.

Let’s say you want a custom electrical cabinet in RAL7035 or RAL9010.

That’s easy to understand. But what about the surface texture?

Do you want a smooth finish, sand texture, or orange peel texture?

Even when the RAL number is the same, different powder formulations, textures, and gloss levels can make the finished cabinet look slightly different.

And the color you see on your phone or computer may not match the actual powder-coated surface.

That’s why we recommend confirming the RAL color, surface texture, and, when necessary, a physical color sample before production.

It’s much easier to agree on the color beforehand than to argue about a finished cabinet later.

Now let’s talk about company logos.Many customers simply ask, “Can you print our logo on the enclosure?”
Yes, but the first thing we need to know is where you want it.
If the logo is on a removable door or mounting plate, things are relatively simple.
We can remove the panel, place it on our UV flatbed printer, and print the approved logo directly onto the surface.
UV printing is especially convenient for custom control panels, company logos, equipment labels, and multicolor graphics.
There’s no need to make a separate printing screen, so it can be a practical option even for smaller orders.
But what if you want the logo on the side of a large freestanding cabinet that cannot be removed?
That’s a different situation.

A large welded electrical enclosure may not fit onto the UV printing machine.
In that case, we need to consider another method.
One option is screen printing.
Screen printing uses a specially prepared mesh screen to transfer the logo onto the enclosure surface.
It works well for repeated logos, especially when the design has only one or two colors.
But there is a problem: the screen needs to be made before printing.
If you only order five cabinets, the screen preparation cost may not be worth it.
If you order hundreds of cabinets with the same logo, the cost becomes easier to spread across the order.
Of course, we still need to check whether the cabinet structure allows screen printing at the required position.
So the question isn’t simply whether we can print the logo.
It’s whether the printing method makes sense for your cabinet and order quantity.

Sometimes customers don’t need direct printing at all.
For example, if you only need a few custom electrical enclosures with your company logo, a high-quality adhesive label may be enough.
It’s simple, flexible, and doesn’t require putting the whole cabinet into a printing machine.
You can also choose raised resin labels for a more decorative appearance.
But here’s something to watch out for.
Not all labels stick well to powder-coated metal surfaces.
If the adhesive isn’t suitable, or the surface hasn’t been cleaned properly, the edges may start lifting after some time.
This is especially important for outdoor electrical enclosures exposed to sunlight, rain, temperature changes, or frequent cleaning.
For industrial equipment, we would rather recommend a suitable, durable label than a decorative one that looks good initially but starts peeling later.
If long-term durability is particularly important, a metal nameplate may be another option.

There’s no single answer for every custom enclosure.

Here’s how we usually look at it:

• Removable flat door or mounting plate: UV printing is often the most convenient option.

• Large cabinet with a fixed printing surface: Screen printing may be considered if the structure allows it.

• Small quantity or temporary branding: Adhesive labels may be more economical.

• Long-term equipment identification: Metal nameplates may be more suitable.

The final choice still depends on your logo, quantity, cabinet structure, surface finish, and installation environment.

For example, a smooth powder-coated panel and an orange peel textured panel may require different printing or adhesive considerations.

That’s why we prefer to review the actual requirements before recommending a method.

You don’t need to prepare a complicated technical document.

But a few details will help us give you a much more reliable quotation.

Tell us the RAL color you want and whether you have a physical color sample.

Send us your company logo, preferably as an AI, PDF, EPS, or other vector file.

Show us where you want the logo printed. A simple marked-up photo or drawing is often enough.

And don’t forget to tell us the approximate logo size, quantity of cabinets, and whether the enclosures will be used indoors or outdoors.

With this information, we can check whether UV printing is possible or whether another printing method would be better.

We can also clarify any additional printing costs and possible changes to production lead time before confirming the order.

The powder coating is finished, the doors are assembled, and the cabinets are almost ready for packing.

Then you tell us that the company logo needs to be printed on the side of the cabinet.

If that side panel cannot be removed and the entire cabinet won’t fit into our UV printer, we now have a problem to solve.

Maybe we can use screen printing. Maybe an adhesive label will work. Or perhaps we need to modify the original plan.

But each option may involve additional cost or time.

That’s why we prefer to ask these questions at the quotation stage.

It’s not because we want to make ordering more complicated.

We simply want to avoid unnecessary changes after production.

So, can Vililong customize the color, company logo, and operating labels on your electrical enclosure?

Yes, in many cases we can.

But we need to review the actual requirements before deciding how to manufacture them.

For custom RAL colors, confirm the color reference and surface texture.

For company logos, confirm the artwork, size, position, and printing method.

And before placing the order, make sure the additional cost and delivery time are clearly included in the quotation.

Confirming these details before production is always easier than correcting a finished electrical cabinet.

If you’re planning to order custom electrical enclosures with your company branding, send us your drawings and logo artwork.

We’ll review the requirements and recommend a practical manufacturing solution.
