Coin Type Brass Eyelets for Tarpaulins, Curtains, Tents and Textiles

Coin Type Brass Eyelets

Coin type eyelets are brass eyelet components with a wider and flatter visible cap area. They are selected for tarpaulins, truck covers, curtains, tents, bags, covers, textile products and accessory applications where a rope, cord, tie or tensioning element passes through the material and a more visible metal finish is preferred.

The defining feature of a coin type eyelet is its broader visible flange. Compared with narrow-rim constructions, it leaves a more pronounced metal area around the prepared hole. This can support the visual finish of the application while helping create a cleaner passage point when the eyelet size, barrel length and setting die are matched to the material.

What Is a Coin Type Eyelet?

A coin type eyelet is a wide-flange brass eyelet with a flat, coin-like visible cap profile. It is used when the product requires a more noticeable metal ring around the passage hole rather than a narrow or low-visibility edge.

It should not be selected only because of its appearance. The inner diameter must suit the rope, cord, tie or elastic passing through the eyelet. The barrel length should suit the total thickness of the material layers, and the installation die should match the eyelet system.

What Are Coin Type Eyelets Used For?

Coin Type Eyelet Size

The coin type brass eyelet in this category has a 7.5 mm / 0.30 in inner diameter. This dimension should be checked against the rope, cord, tie or elastic that will pass through it. Its 15 mm / 0.59 in outer diameter defines the visible metal area on the application surface, while the 6.7 mm / 0.26 in barrel length should be assessed against the total thickness of the material layers.

Measurement note: Eyelet names and numbering can vary between manufacturers. Always use the current product-page specifications for inner diameter, outer diameter, barrel length and compatible setting dies as the final reference before ordering.

Coin Type Eyelets vs Narrow-Edged Eyelets

Coin type eyelets provide a wider visible metal flange around the passage hole. Narrow-edged eyelets are selected when a slimmer and more compact visible rim is preferred. The right choice depends on the desired surface appearance, product scale, material thickness and the required passage diameter.

Choose a coin type construction when a broader visible metal ring is part of the product design. Choose a narrow-rim construction when the product requires a more restrained metal edge. For a wider comparison of available forms, review eyelets and grommets.

Coin Type Eyelets vs Domed Eyelets

Domed eyelets are selected when a raised and rounded cap profile is preferred. Coin type eyelets are selected when a flatter, wider and more visible flange is required around the application hole.

The choice should be based on the required visual effect as well as the material structure. A wider cap is not automatically more suitable for every application; it must remain proportionate to the product surface and compatible with the selected setting method.

Finish Selection

Coin type brass eyelets may be offered in finishes such as nickel, black nickel, gold, antique brass, gunmetal or antique silver depending on the selected product option. Nickel can suit neutral metal styling, gold and antique brass can complement warmer decorative applications, while black nickel and gunmetal can suit darker product surfaces.

Finish names describe the visible surface appearance. Suitability for washing, moisture, friction, outdoor use or repeated handling should be evaluated according to the complete material specification, coating, installation quality and intended conditions of use.

Hole Preparation and Setting Die Compatibility

Correct hole preparation is essential for clean coin type eyelet installation. A hole that is too small can prevent the barrel from seating correctly. A hole that is too large can create a loose or uneven result around the application area.

Use a setting die that matches the coin type eyelet structure and size. Eyelet installation may be carried out with hand-setting tools, hand presses, impact presses, electric machines or pneumatic machines, depending on the selected system and production volume.

Before installation, check the eyelet inner diameter, barrel length, total material thickness, hole size and compatible die as one complete system. For compatible equipment, review setting dies and application tools.

Coin Type Eyelet Buying Checklist

• Will the eyelet be used on a tarpaulin, curtain, tent, bag, cover or textile product?
• Is a wider visible metal flange needed for the product design?
