A bright finished S shaped spring clip for sports bags and luggage, used to attach straps, accessories and hanging items. It is a visible part of the product, so finish quality matters alongside the load it carries.
The clip is seen on the outside of the bag, so a clean bright plating is part of the product's appearance.
Bag hardware is loaded and knocked constantly, and hardened wire resists the opening that would let an item fall off.
The openings are formed for webbing widths and strap fittings rather than to a nominal pin size.
Match the clip opening to the webbing and fittings actually used in production. Bag hardware is often finalised late, and clips sized to a prototype frequently do not fit the final build.

Available in Stainless steel, Spring steel, Carbon steel, 65Mn, Music wire, in wire from 0.1-8 mm, with any of our nine surface finishing routes. Geometry, end treatment and finish are all specified per order.
ISO 9001, SGS certificate and RoHS report (stated on the legacy site, certificates pending re-confirmation). Certificate copies are sent on request once re-confirmed.
Against a moulded plastic clip, a steel S clip is far stronger for its size and reads as a quality detail rather than as packaging hardware.
A closed or partially closed form prevents accidental detachment. Tell us whether attachment is meant to be permanent.
Bright nickel resists handling well. For wet outdoor gear, stainless is worth considering.
Coloured coatings are available and matched at sampling against your own hardware.
Send your drawing, dimensions or a sample. We will confirm the specification and come back with a price and a lead time.
