A casing is an enclosure or housing which contains another material or component(s) and functions just like a case. This is normally to protect the contents of the casing from exposure or damage by heat, water, knocks from handling or human interference. Or else to conceal the components if they are of an unsightly nature and/or do nor normally require to be accessed. Typically, the reasons to encase may be a combination of the aforementioned factors.

Casings can be temporary or permanent. A fuse box is housed in a permanent casing, as is pipework that is boxed-in for purposes of concealment. The delivery of a sensitive item to a construction site – such as a boiler or chiller – is likely to be in a temporary casing for protection (as opposed to a cardboard box) which is discarded as soon as delivery to site has been completed. The casing for a mobile phone can be permanent or temporary.

Casings can be made of various materials, including:

* Cardboard
* Plastic
