The invention discloses a nailing method for wooden tray production. During panel production, the nailing method comprises the following steps: driving a nail at each of the crossings of transverse slats at two ends and in the middle of a panel and longitudinal slats; and driving two nails at each of the crossings of the other transverse slats on the panel and the longitudinal slats. During base production, the nailing method comprises the following steps: driving two nails at each of the crossings of wooden piers and bases; and driving another nail at each position, with one nail, on the panel after the panel and the bases are assembled. According to the nailing method, the nailing positions and the nail quantity are fixed in wooden tray production, and nailing is carried out according to a set track and a set process, so that the production efficiency of nailing is high; and as the two nails at each nailing position are arranged in an inclined manner, the connection strength of a wooden tray as well as the nailing quality are improved.
