Small Plastic Melon-Seed Turn Button Clip Black – U24 Complete Guide
The Small Plastic Melon-Seed Turn Button Clip Black (SKU: U24) is XKY Framing’s entry into lightweight polymer backing fasteners. Made from ABS plastic, it provides a cost-effective, corrosion-free alternative to metal clips for small picture frames, certificate holders, and display boxes.
Why Choose the Small Plastic Melon-Seed Turn Button Clip Black?
Metal clips, while durable, can scratch delicate moulding finishes and add measurable weight to large batches of frames. The U24 Small Plastic Melon-Seed Turn Button Clip Black eliminates both concerns — its smooth ABS surface is gentle on finishes, and its lower density (ABS: 1.05 g/cm³ vs steel: 7.85 g/cm³) keeps overall frame weight minimal.
