How to choose the size of carabiners suitable for your brand
Size is not just a parameter; you can also match the size of carabiners to their application fields. 6061 aluminum alloy is widely use in non-load-bearing fields due to its lightness, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and other characteristics, and has become the preferred material for many outdoor and consumer brands to customize products.
When choosing a carabiner, size is an important consideration that affects supporting design, user experience and cost control. We have customized products for various brand customers for a long time, from mini keychains to large-size quick hangs. Behind each product selection, there are different user scenarios and demand logic.
