Metal eyelets

We supply metal eyelets with various head and shaft diameters and shaft heights for processing with suitable tools such as hand or foot lever machines. Metal eyelets provide secure perforation, e.g. for paper, to protect against tearing and through the opening of which cords etc. can also be passed. The length of the shaft should be about 2 mm longer than the block thickness of the material to be eyed. Due to their material (metal), the round eyelets are much more stable than, for example, eyelets made of plastic. They are therefore also more durable and withstand heat and cold well.

In addition to our range of metal eyelets, you will also find various eyeletting tools and a spindle press in the section riveting tools.

What are metal eyelets?

Metal eyelets are small, ring-shaped components, often made from sturdy metals such as steel or brass. They are frequently used to reinforce holes in various materials and provide them with stability. Metal eyelets are particularly widespread in sectors such as fashion, the footwear industry, promotional materials and tarpaulin manufacturing. We do not currently stock brass metal eyelets.

The advantages of metal eyelets

Metal eyelets offer a range of benefits that make them a popular choice for many applications. Here are some of the main advantages of metal eyelets:

  1. Durability: Metal eyelets are extremely durable and robust. They can withstand heavy loads and retain their shape and function over a long period of time.
  2. Aesthetics: Metal eyelets give products a high-quality and professional appearance. They are available in various surface finishes to suit individual needs and preferences.
  3. Functionality: Metal eyelets allow cords, ribbons or ropes to be threaded through easily to hold materials together or attach them to other surfaces. They offer a quick and reliable solution for various applications.
  4. Versatility: Metal eyelets can be used in a wide range of materials such as fabric, leather, paper, plastic and many others. This opens up numerous design possibilities and areas of application.

Applications of metal eyelets

Metal eyelets are widely used across various industries and fields of application. Here are just a few examples of their uses:

Fashion industry

In the fashion industry, metal eyelets are frequently used to attach lacing to shoes, corsets, rucksacks, belts and other accessories. They serve not only a functional purpose but also contribute to the design and individuality of the products. These metal eyelets are normally rust-resistant, and we do not currently stock them in our range. Please enquire about the specific intended use beforehand.

Promotional materials

Metal eyelets are a popular feature in advertising banners, posters and signs. They allow for easy attachment and hanging on various surfaces and help to ensure the durability of the materials.

Tarpaulin manufacturing

Metal eyelets are indispensable in the manufacture of tarpaulins for trailers, lorries or tents. They ensure the tarpaulins are securely fastened and guarantee that they can withstand strong winds, rain or other weather conditions. Two-part eyelets are also commonly used in tarpaulin construction. We do not currently stock these in our range. Please therefore take the opportunity to request samples or enquire with our product experts.

Tips for choosing metal eyelets

When selecting metal eyelets for your project, there are a few important factors to bear in mind. Here are some helpful tips to assist you in making your decision:

  1. Material: Choose the appropriate metal for your application. Steel and brass are two of the most common materials used for metal eyelets.
  2. Size: Make sure you choose the correct size of metal eyelets to suit your requirements. Metal eyelets that are too small or too large can compromise functionality.
  3. Quality: Pay attention to the quality of the metal eyelets. High-quality metal eyelets offer greater durability and better performance.
  4. Fitting options: Ensure that the metal eyelets can be fitted easily and securely into your material. There are various fitting options, such as insertion, hammering in or pressing on.
