Abstract

A foldable blank includes a substrate and a conducting layer. The substrate is folded so as to form a component housing. When the substrate is folded to form a housing, the conducting layer provides electrical shielding to devices situated within the housing. The housing has holes situated therein to accommodate air flow and external connections to devices located within the housing. The housing may be employed to envelop a chassis manufactured from expanded polypropylene.
