Point of sale enclosures
Point of Sale Enclosures
Counter-top terminals, card reader housings, product displays and branded signage built from CNC-machined sheet in the colors and finishes of the brand. Each point of sale enclosure is a program, so a store rollout can start at one unit and scale to thousands without a mold.
Retail, hospitality and banking
Point of sale enclosures that carry the brand, not a catalog number.
A point of sale device sits where customers look. The housing has to match the store, carry the logo and survive a counter for years. Toolless has helped brands showcase cosmetics, phones and shoes with custom display housings, and has built terminal and kiosk enclosures for banking and point of sale. Every one is machined from pre-colored ABS, acrylic or polycarbonate sheet, thermally bent and solvent bonded, with no mold and no tooling anywhere in the chain.
When an existing signage product has to be reproduced, we redesign it to fit our process and keep the look that was initially defined. Rollouts across many locations are supported by the blanket order program, which releases 10 to 10,000 units on a schedule with a three-week lead time after receipt of PO.
What we build
Four families of point of sale and signage housings.
Terminals, readers, product displays and kiosks. They share the same sheet process and the same engineering team, and differ in size, hardware and how the housing is mounted.
Terminal and tablet housings
Counter-top enclosures with a sloped face for a touch display, a machined opening held to ±0.2 mm, a rear cable channel and recessed rubber feet so the unit stays put on the counter.
Card reader enclosures
Compact housings for payment and access readers, with the slot, keypad recess and LED light pipes machined in place and a printed legend that does not peel. Keyhole cutouts mount the reader to a wall or a pillar.
Product display stands
Branded stands and risers that present a phone, a fragrance or a shoe. Acrylic OPTIX gives a transparent shelf or cover, and two-tone pre-colored panels give the brand its colors without paint.
Kiosks and self-service
Larger housings for banking and ordering kiosks. We reinforce the enclosure with a metal frame and clad it with plastic parts, combining pieces to reach the size the application needs.
Branding on the part
Printed, engraved or colored in the sheet.
Retail housings live or die on finish. Two digital UV printers in Everett print full-color graphics, logos and legends directly on the plastic, with white ink for dark panels and raised TEXTUR3D prints where a tactile logo is wanted. Adhesion is better than silk screen. Engraving comparable to laser etching handles serial numbers and permanent marks, and wet paint adds colors outside the stocked white, black, light grey and dark grey ABS.
Color that comes from the sheet itself never chips at a corner. Custom sheet colors are available on volume programs with a minimum of around 2,000 lb of material, and acrylic is stocked for clear covers and windows.
Proof
Custom enclosures for Amazon Just Walk Out.
Toolless built custom enclosures for Amazon's Just Walk Out checkout technology, housings that sit in public view at store entrances. Read the Just Walk Out story on our blog, then see the same approach applied to banking and self-service units in the kiosk portfolio.
Questions we get asked
Point of sale enclosure FAQ.
Answers from the engineers who quote these jobs. For anything not covered, contact us or read the full FAQ.
Can you match our brand color?
Yes. Stock ABS comes in white, black, light grey and dark grey, paint covers colors outside that range, and custom sheet colors are matched on volume programs with a minimum purchase of around 2,000 lb of material.
Can you reproduce a signage housing we already have?
Yes. We redesign existing signage products to fit the sheet process while keeping the look that was originally defined. Send the existing unit or its drawings with the request for quote.
How do you handle a rollout to many stores?
Through a blanket order. Volume quantities from 10 to 10,000 units get volume pricing, released as a single order, a re-order agreement or scheduled shipments, with a three-week lead time after receipt of PO.
Will the printed logo wear off on a counter?
UV printing cures the ink directly on the plastic and adheres better than silk screen. For marks that must never wear, engraving comparable to laser etching is available, and two-tone pre-colored panels carry color through the sheet.

“We initially considered injection molding, but with our volume the cost of tooling would never be recovered. It took only a week to settle on a design and get a prototype, and we were in production a week later.”
“I spent 9 years as a quality engineer at Rockwell and tend to be a perfectionist. Your professionalism and diligence in helping evolve our cover is greatly appreciated.”
“After a number of orders, Toolless have become our preferred supplier. Even though we are located in Australia, all deliveries have been fast and hassle free.”
