These zinc alloy type C top seal retaining clips are made to work reliably. For their size, they’re pretty strong when pulled on.
The spring in the tongue part is built to handle being used thousands of times, so they keep working well for a long time.
When they snap shut, they lock in place firmly,they don’t open by accident under normal use, depending on their size.
This makes them a trustworthy piece for holding things together, where it would be a hassle or a problem if they failed. They balance being secure with being easy to use, and do it well.
Using zinc alloy for the type C top seal retaining clip has some good points. It holds up well to wear and hits, stays the right size so it works the same way every time, resists corrosion pretty well (especially when plated), and can be cast to look smooth and detailed, which gives a nice appearance.
This material makes the buckle tough enough for rough environments and nice enough for consumer products. It’s a good value because it lasts long and works well.
Our standard minimum order for a custom type C top seal retaining clip is 1,000 pieces for each design or color.
Things that affect the price include: what base metal it is,zinc alloy or brass; how complex the plating is,like antique finishes vs. regular gold; if you need custom tools; how you decorate it,laser etching or printing; and how many you order.
Bigger orders bring the cost per piece down a lot. We can give you tiered pricing if you ask.
