In one exemplary embodiment, an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding apparatus generally includes a shield and a gasket. The gasket includes at least one tab formed monolithically with the gasket and attached to a support or portion of the gasket. The at least one tab is movable relative to the support from a first, pre-installed configuration in which the at least one tab is generally co-planar with the support to a second, installed configuration in which the at least one tab extends generally outwardly relative to the support. Movement of the at least one tab from the first configuration to the second configuration may position the at least one tab at least partially within the at least one opening of the shield. Frictional engagement of the at least one tab within the at least one opening may help retain the relative positioning of the gasket to the shield.
