Topic: OK to bundle wires?

I'm making a case that I'm trying to make pretty air-tight but I want my power supply and controller board outside of the case which means the wires will need to go through a port of some kind.  My question is just like the title says - is it ok to bundle my wires together or should I be concerned about the lack of shielding?  Does anyone have any experience with missed steps from poorly shielded wired as commonly seen in some poorly wired CNC setups?

You should be fine, after all most of the wires are all ready bundled together.
