A Metal Fastener for Panel-Based Crate Construction

Crate clips provide a mechanical connection between the panels of a wooden packaging structure. Instead of permanently joining every section with nails, manufacturers can use these metal fittings to hold the panels together while keeping the crate accessible for later opening.

The Galvanized Crate Clip is designed for this type of panel-based construction. Its formed steel profile connects adjoining wooden sections, while the fixing holes allow it to be secured with screws. The clip geometry can be selected or adjusted according to the crate structure and the required connection points.

For packaging manufacturers sourcing hardware in bulk, material selection, finished dimensions and hole placement are practical details to settle before production begins.

Material and Finish Options for Different Orders

Liangyue supplies this crate clip in two steel options: 65Mn spring steel and 50 carbon steel. The appropriate choice depends on the required clip construction, material condition and intended use. Buyers should confirm the exact steel grade and relevant material requirements when placing an order, particularly when the components will be used in repeat production.

Two surface treatments are available:

• Galvanized finish: A zinc coating provides a protective layer over the steel surface.

• Black electrophoretic coating: An alternative finish for buyers who prefer a black appearance and an electrophoretically coated surface.

The selected finish should be specified clearly rather than left as a general request for coated steel. If appearance, coating coverage or dimensional fit is critical, a finished sample can be reviewed before the production batch is approved.

Product Specifications

Multiple existing models are available, with inner dimensions ranging from compact profiles to larger configurations. Custom dimensions can also be discussed according to the panel arrangement and fastening requirements of the customer's crate design.

Selecting a Suitable Clip Size

A crate clip should be matched to the joint it needs to connect, not selected solely by its overall length or appearance. Before choosing a model, buyers should check the following details:

• Panel dimensions: Confirm the actual thickness and arrangement of the wooden or plywood panels.

• Clip opening and profile: Check that the internal dimensions correspond to the intended connection.

• Fixing-hole location: Make sure the holes align with the planned screw positions and allow practical installation.

• Material thickness: Specify the required steel thickness instead of relying on appearance as an indication.

• Surface finish: Choose the coating according to the purchasing specification and expected storage or operating environment.

Providing a drawing, sample or complete set of dimensions helps reduce uncertainty during quotation and sample approval. For customized orders, the clip should be checked on the actual crate joint before mass production.

Standard Models and Custom Manufacturing

Different crate designs may require different clip profiles. Liangyue offers a range of standard models, including LY1-001 to LY1-014, as well as customization for projects that cannot use an existing configuration.

OEM and ODM requirements can cover:

• Overall dimensions and internal opening

• Steel material and thickness

• Fixing-hole position and layout

• Galvanized or black electrophoretic finish

• Product identification and packaging requirements

For a new design, buyers can provide a technical drawing or physical sample for evaluation. If neither is available, the crate panel dimensions, joint arrangement and intended fixing method can serve as the starting information for discussing a suitable specification.

Supply for Crate Hardware Buyers

This product is intended for wooden packaging manufacturers, crate assembly businesses and distributors sourcing metal fastening components. Orders can be based on existing model specifications or developed around a customer's drawing.

When requesting a quotation, please include the preferred model number, material, surface treatment and estimated order quantity. For a custom design, add the required dimensions and hole positions. These details make it easier to confirm product suitability and provide a quotation based on the actual requirement.
