Custom Stamped Zinc Plated L-Shape Spring Clip Brackets for Photo Frames
Custom Stamped Zinc Plated V-Shape Spring Clip Brackets for Photo Frames
Precision stamped clips for secure glass, backing board & artwork retention in photo frames, canvas art, shadow boxes, and filter frames. Also known as clip brackets for filter frames.
Why frame makers choose this clip
100% burr-free – no glass scratches, no finger cuts
Consistent tension – no loosening over time
Custom stamped – your dimensions, your plating, your hole positions
V-Shape vs. L-Shape vs. U-Shape – Which One Fits Your Frame?
Unlike L-shape clips that grip only one edge, our V-shape design provides dual-angle pressure, reducing glass shifting by around 40% during drop tests. This makes V-shape spring clips especially suitable for heavy canvas frames, deep shadow boxes, large mirror frames, and filter frames where extra holding force is required.
For standard photo frames (4×6 to 11×14), L-shape clips may be sufficient. But for custom or oversized framing projects – including filter frames – the V-shape offers superior stability without increasing material thickness.
Where it's used
Standard photo frames (4×6 to 11×14 and custom sizes)
Stretched canvas & art prints
Shadow boxes & display cases
Mirror frames & glass panels
Commercial framing projects & OEM hardware supply
Filter frames and specialty industrial frames
Why choose this clip
| Common industry problem | Our solution |
|---|---|
| Sharp edges scratch glass or injure workers | ✅ Fully deburred & rounded corner design, smooth edge without burrs |
| Rust appears within months | ✅ Consistent zinc plating – corrosion tested per batch |
| Clips loosen over time | ✅ Spring steel arm maintains tension, <3% deformation after 10,000 cycles |
| Long tooling lead times | ✅ 7–15 days for sample tooling, free DFM feedback |

Precision-stamped mounting holes – easy & stable installation
Zinc plated finish – indoor and mild outdoor use
Custom V-Shape Spring Clip – OEM Buyer's Guide
When sourcing custom V-shape spring clips for volume production (including filter frame clip brackets), consider these three factors:
1. Tension strength – Measured by spring steel gauge and arm angle. Heavier frames (including filter frames) require thicker material (2.5mm+) or a sharper V angle.
2. Plating type – Zinc plating is standard for indoor frames. For high-humidity environments (bathrooms, coastal areas), nickel plating or black oxide offers extended corrosion protection.
3. Mounting method – Pre-punched holes suit wood frames. For metal or plastic frames, consider clips without holes for adhesive mounting.
We provide free engineering review for every custom V-shape clip order, including clip brackets for filter frames. Send your drawing for material and tension recommendations.

FAQ – Custom V-Shape Spring Clips & Filter Frame Clip Brackets
Q: What is the MOQ for custom V-shape spring clips?
A: 5,000 pieces for existing tooling; 20,000 pieces for new V-shape tooling. Lower MOQ may be available for sample orders.
Q: Can you make V clips without mounting holes?
A: Yes. We can remove or reposition mounting holes per your drawing, or supply plain clips for adhesive mounting.
Q: What is the maximum frame weight these clips can hold?
A: For 1.5mm spring steel, each clip supports approximately 2–3 kg. Use 2.5mm thickness or multiple clips per frame for heavier artwork, mirrors, or filter frames.
Q: Do you offer free samples?
A: Existing design samples are available at low cost. Custom sample tooling requires a one-time setup fee.
