Get quoteThe 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.
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.
Total length: 15 mm. Head width: 6 mm. Tail width: 5.5 mm. Hole diameter: 3 mm. Thickness: 1.3 mm. Material: ABS plastic.
Seat small backing board. Align U24’s 3 mm hole over pilot hole. Fasten with M3 screw or small brad nail. Rotate to lock position. The thicker 1.3 mm ABS body provides firm finger grip.
For medium plastic see U25 Medium Plastic Melon-Seed Turn Button Clip Black. For equivalent small metal clip see U01 Small Metal Turn Button Clip Black.
ABS plastic, matte black surface finish.
Q: Advantage of plastic vs metal?

Q: Can U24 hold heavy backing boards?

A: Yes for standard indoor use. Prolonged direct sunlight may cause yellowing over years.

What is the advantage of plastic over metal clips?
Plastic clips are lighter, cannot corrode, and are less likely to scratch or dent the backing board or moulding during installation and removal.
Can U24 hold heavy backing boards?
U24 is designed for lightweight backing boards (up to approximately 1.5 mm foamboard or 1 mm MDF) in small frames. For heavy backing, use metal clips.
Is the plastic UV-stable?
The ABS material used is UV-stabilised for standard indoor display use. Prolonged direct sunlight may cause yellowing over years.
