Custom aluminum boxes are made in a variety of styles and with countless features. You can specify windows, louvers, locks, gaskets, and much more. Aluminum boxes are versatile—used as electrical enclosures, mobile cabinets, storage for tools, etc. Your design selection is unlimited with KDM.
Even more importantly, we create IP-rated and NEMA-rated aluminum boxes fit for outdoor, commercial, marine, and industrial use. Simply give us your idea and requirements, and our experts will manufacture your perfect custom box.
An aluminum junction box in an enclosure houses electrical components and cables. These boxes have special fittings and cable entry points. KDM custom aluminum welding makes junction boxes lightweight and strong.
Aluminum is a versatile material, which is why it works perfectly for custom storage boxes. With its excellent impact resistance and durability, aluminum is a great choice for storage enclosures.
Hinged lids are a common feature added to custom aluminum boxes. These doors can be of any size, thickness, or shape, and you can choose to add latches and gaskets. Popular on both small and large aluminum boxes, lids offer ease of access anywhere.
Although aluminum is resistant to corrosion as it is, at KDM, we can fabricate enclosures with extra waterproof and dust-tight features. If you need IP-rated aluminum enclosures, this is your stop.
Aluminum truck boxes help keep gear and tools protected from rain and snow. These boxes are kept at the back of a trailer truck, especially useful in rural areas. With special hardware, KDM truck boxes will securely house any equipment.
Custom Aluminum Boxes by Finish
Powder-Coated Aluminum BoxTo improve water-resistance and appearance, we can powder-coat your custom aluminum box. Select any colour and finish—and we will deliver.
Diamond-Plate Aluminum BoxDiamond-plate is a classic aluminum finish with great anti-slip properties. Often used for truck boxes, marine, and transport applications, this finish is versatile.
Anodized Aluminum BoxIn addition to the naturally occurring oxide film, this electrochemical procedure offers extra protection. On the aluminum’s surface, an anodic oxide layer that is strong and porous develops.
Polished Aluminum BoxUsing abrasion to remove the metal, polishing, buffing, and blasting can all be employed to produce a smooth surface.
Aluminum is a lightweight material, so the boxes fabricated from it will also have that quality. It allows for these boxes to be easily moved, carried, and mounted—a versatile solution for any project.
Aluminum is recyclable, so manufacturing custom aluminum boxes is eco-friendly and affordable in the long run. You will be able to recycle or modify your box, easily giving it a second life.
Aluminum is highly weldable, bendable, and ductile. This means that it is easy to machine and customize at any time. KDM offers countless designs, features, and manufacturing processes to support further customization.
Aluminum boxes have high weight-to-strength ratios, meaning that it is a strong material. Whatever the aluminum box will be housing is safe from corrosion and impact. Moreover, aluminum becomes stronger in cold temperatures, so if those are the working conditions, aluminum outperforms steel.
Custom Aluminum Box Applications
Aluminum boxes are very versatile and can be used in many different applications. For instance, they can be used to carry or store tools, protect a mounted appliance or cables, and more. Some industries that commonly use custom aluminum boxes include:
- Energy
- Automotive
- Construction
- Transport
- Repair & Maintenance

Aluminum Grades and Alloys
There are currently eight series of grades used to categorize the many alloy kinds that are accessible when working with aluminum.
| Series | Contents | Application | Main Property |
| 1000 | Pure aluminum | Versatile | Ductile |
| 2000 | Copper + aluminum | Aerospace | Hardness |
| 3000 | Manganese + aluminum | General-purpose | Good finish |
| 4000 | Silicon + aluminum | Automotive | Thermal conductivity |
| 5000 | Magnesium + aluminum | Marine | Corrosion resistance |
| 6000 | Magnesium + silicon + aluminum | Construction | Strength, machinability |
| 7000 | Zinc + aluminum | Aerospace | Strength |
| 8000 | Other (e.g. iron, lithium, etc) | Engineering | Varies by alloy |
The most common alloys used for custom aluminum boxes are 6062, 7075, and 3003. You can always contact KDM support to discuss the best alloy for your custom project.
Custom Aluminum Box Fabrication Process
Metal fabrication is the process of making metal pieces by cutting, bending, and shaping the metal. Welding, cutting, forming, and machining are examples of common fabrication techniques. Usually, the manufacturing process follows some basic steps: 3D design and approval, machining, and finishing. When designing, you would choose aluminum alloy, thickness, and features.
Machining may involve processes like cutting, bending, and welding—all with small tolerances. Our experts have experience with many techniques within each step, such as spot welding and seam welding. As for finishing, we can foam and polish your aluminum box, as well as include anodizing, powder coating, and plating. Lastly, we can even use silk-screening and digital printing to apply your logo and various symbols onto the metal surface.
