Flat Brass Eyelets and Grommets

Flat brass eyelets and brass grommets are low-profile metal hole-reinforcement components used in tarpaulins, curtains, tents, bags, shoes, leather goods, garments, accessories, craft projects and textile applications. Their flat surface creates a cleaner and more minimal metal finish compared with domed eyelets.

In the E-Dugme flat brass eyelets category, buyers can compare small accessory eyelets, medium bag and shoe eyelets, and larger tarpaulin, curtain and technical textile grommets. Size groups may include No 16, No 17, No 2, No 3, No 4, No 5, No 24, No 25, No 28, No 29, No 31, No 32 and No 34 depending on the product model.

What Are Flat Brass Eyelets?

A flat brass eyelet is a brass metal capsule with a flatter and lower-profile top surface. It is installed around a prepared hole in fabric, leather, synthetic leather, canvas, tarpaulin, curtain material, bag material, shoe upper or textile surface. Once applied with the correct washer and setting die, it supports the hole edge and creates a clean passage for cords, laces, ropes or fastening components.

Inner diameter determines the usable passage size. Outer diameter affects visible metal coverage. Barrel height affects compatibility with material thickness. Washer structure and setting die compatibility affect how the eyelet sits on the surface after installation.

Flat Eyelets, Domed Eyelets and Contoured Eyelets

Flat eyelets can be selected when a cleaner and lower-profile surface finish is preferred. Domed eyelets create a rounded and more visible metal surface. Contoured eyelets offer a more defined edge form. The correct choice depends on product design, material thickness, cord diameter, finish colour and compatible setting die.

Colour and Finish Options

Flat brass eyelets may be available in free nickel, black nickel, gold, antique brass, gun metal and antique silver finishes depending on the product model. Free nickel can support a clean metal appearance. Gold and antique brass can create a classic look on leather goods and bags. Black nickel and gun metal are useful for darker garments, bags, tarpaulins and modern product styles.

Washer, Hole Cutting and Setting Die Compatibility

Flat brass eyelet installation depends on the eyelet capsule, prepared hole, washer structure and compatible setting die. A prepared hole that is too small may prevent proper seating, while a hole that is too large may create a loose installation. Material thickness, washer structure and barrel height should be evaluated together before production.
