Aluminum Eyelets and Grommets
Aluminium eyelets and grommets create lightweight metal reinforcement points on tarpaulins, tents, awnings, banners, vinyl signs, protective covers and technical textiles. Compare 9 mm / 0.35 in, 12.5 mm / 0.49 in and 17 mm / 0.67 in inner diameters according to the cord, rope, hook or fixing component that will pass through the opening.
Aluminium construction helps limit the additional weight of larger grommets. Browse the complete eyelets and grommets collection for alternative materials or select compatible grommet setting dies for installation. Check the inner diameter, outer diameter, barrel height, washer construction and application material thickness together.

Read the selection guide →Aluminum Eyelets and Grommets
Aluminum eyelets and grommets are lightweight metal hole-reinforcement components used in tarpaulins, tents, awnings, banners, vinyl signs, outdoor textiles, protective covers, bags and technical fabrics. They help support the edge of a prepared hole, create a clean passage for ropes, cords or fixing points and provide a practical fastening area on the product surface.
In the E-Dugme aluminum eyelets category, buyers can compare No 24, No 28 and No 31 aluminum eyelet options. The available inner diameter groups include 9 mm / 0.35 in, 12.5 mm / 0.49 in and 17 mm / 0.67 in. These sizes are commonly evaluated for tarpaulin, tent, awning, banner, vinyl sign, outdoor textile and protective cover applications.
What Are Aluminum Eyelets?
An aluminum eyelet is a lightweight metal capsule installed around a prepared hole in tarpaulin, fabric, canvas, banner vinyl, coated textile, bag material or technical textile surface. Once applied with the correct setting die and washer structure, the eyelet supports the hole edge and creates a controlled passage for ropes, cords, hooks, ties or fixing components.
Inner diameter determines the passage size. Outer diameter affects the visible surface coverage. Barrel height affects compatibility with material thickness. Washer type affects how the eyelet sits on the surface after installation.
How to Choose Aluminum Eyelet Size
| Size Group | Inner Diameter | Typical Application | Selection Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| No 24 | 9 mm / 0.35 in | Tarpaulins, tents, awnings, banners, vinyl signs, bags and protective covers | Can be evaluated for medium rope, cord and fixing passages. |
| No 28 | 12.5 mm / 0.49 in | Tents, tarpaulins, awnings, banners, outdoor textiles, covers and technical fabrics | Useful when a wider fastening opening is required. |
| No 31 | 17 mm / 0.67 in | Large tarpaulins, awnings, banners, camping tents, curtains and wide fixing points | Larger inner diameter applications should be matched with the correct washer and setting die. |

Aluminum Eyelets, Brass Eyelets and Stainless Steel Eyelets
Aluminum eyelets can be selected when a lightweight metal eyelet is required for tarpaulins, banners, tents, awnings and outdoor textile applications. Brass eyelets can be selected for garments, leather goods, shoes, bags and decorative textile projects where finish colour and trim appearance are important. Stainless steel eyelets can be selected for outdoor and technical textile projects where stainless material is required.
Washer, Hole Cutting and Setting Die Compatibility
Aluminum eyelet installation depends on the eyelet capsule, prepared hole, washer type and compatible setting die. The prepared hole should match the eyelet body. A hole that is too small may prevent proper seating, while a hole that is too large may create a loose installation.
For compatible installation equipment, visit the setting dies, fastening molds and application tools category. Depending on the application, eyelet setting dies, punching dies, hand presses, impact presses, electric machines or pneumatic machines can be evaluated.
