Hardware Build Considerations
Here are some tips to keep in mind when creating your own custom hardware:
- Verify with your printer that they can cut the tiptap device terminal die-cut hole in the substrate you plan to use for your custom hardware, as not all printers are capable of cutting at these angles.
Note: The substrate, material thickness, and the type of printer — all play a factor in what is possible. - Ensure your hardware design provides easy access to the device terminal in case it needs to be replaced.
- Make sure your hardware does not obstruct the hole at the bottom of the device terminal, as this is where the cable needs to be plugged in.
- Ensure the other end of the cable that is plugged into a standard wall outlet does not become a tripping hazard.
- Install your custom hardware where cell connectivity is strong (tiptap device terminals will connect to your closest cell tower — no Wi-Fi).
What You Need
Ask us for the device terminal die-cut dieline so you can get started on integrating the technology into your hardware.

Die Cut Positioning (Recommended): From the edge of the sign: 0.75in (min) In between die cuts: 1.3750in (min)
Sign Thickness (Recommended): 1/16in(min) - 1/2in(max) Corner Radius: 1.000in (recommended)
Accessories
When placing your device terminal order, be sure to also purchase the accessories needed to snap your device terminal(s) into your hardware, along with a 10-ft power cable and wall plug to keep them powered.
How it Works
Snap your device terminals into the custom hardware using the front and back gaskets to securely hold them in place.
