Countertop terminals are not carried, dropped, or gripped for hours. They sit in one place, and their protective case has to respect that. For the INGENICO-IWL220, the main design risks were functional rather than mechanical: the receipt printer needs clearance to feed paper, the card slot has to remain unobstructed, and the terminal has to sit flat on its base without wobbling during transactions.
We treated these as fixed constraints at the mold design stage. The printer feed path, card slot, and cable connections were mapped before any tooling was cut, then used as reference points for the case geometry. Wall thickness at the base was verified to keep the terminal stable on the counter, while side and top thickness was kept slim to avoid interfering with paper access or card insertion. The anti-slip texture was engraved into the mold cavity rather than applied as a coating, so the base stays stable on smooth counter surfaces without peel or wear issues. The silicone compound was tuned with UV stabilizers and anti-aging additives to resist yellowing and surface hardening over extended use. This is a brand-customer customization case, not a product for sample sale. Brands developing similar protective solutions can begin with a validation batch of 100 pieces, with all tooling, molding, and inspection completed in-house.
1. Base Thickness Tuned for Countertop Stability : Wall thickness at the base is verified to keep the terminal sitting flat and stable during transactions, while side and top thickness is kept slim to avoid interfering with paper access or card insertion.
2. Anti-Slip Texture Engraved Into the Mold Cavity : Base grip texture is cut directly into the mold rather than applied as a coating, keeping the terminal stable on smooth counter surfaces without peel or wear issues.
3.Functional Openings Treated as Fixed Mold Constraints : The IWL220's printer feed path, card slot, and cable connections are mapped before tooling and used as reference points for the case geometry, ensuring no functional area is restricted after molding.
1.Industry Compatibility:
Retail & Payment : POS terminals in stores, supermarkets, hotels, and restaurants requiring device protection
Logistics & Delivery : Handheld POS devices used in field operations, delivery services, and mobile payment scenarios
Unattended & Self-Service : Kiosk terminals, self-checkout devices, and automated payment stations
2.Core Product Application Scenarios:
Retail Store POS Terminals for Daily Handling : Anti-slip silicone case protects devices from drops and impacts during busy checkout operations, with moderate grip reducing handling fatigue for cashiers
Mobile POS Devices for Delivery and Field Use : Durable protective case shields terminals from bumps, scratches, and environmental exposure during outdoor operations
Multi-Location Deployments with Cable Connections : Unobstructed cable port access allows the case to remain in place during maintenance or peripheral changes
