An enclosure for holding a machine includes a lower body made of polymer materials, such as polyolafins and/or nylon. The lower body includes an interior region having a surface with one or more features integrally molded therein and an upper body overlying the lower body for enclosing the machine between the upper and lower bodies. The one or more features integrally molded into the surface of the interior region are adapted for at least partially securing the machine to the lower body. In one embodiment, the one or more features integrally molded into the surface of the lower body include a projection extending above the surface of the interior region and the machine includes a recess formed in a bottom surface thereof. The projection may be sized and shaped to fit within the recess for securing the machine to the surface of the lower body so as to prevent the machine from moving laterally with respect to the surface of the interior region.
