Plastic Eyelets and Grommets

Plastic Eyelets and Grommets

Plastic eyelets and grommets are lightweight hole-reinforcement components used in tarpaulins, tents, curtains, textiles, bags, leather-look materials, craft projects and promotional products. They help organize the edge of a prepared hole, create a controlled passage for cords or tensioning ropes and provide a clean fastening point without a metal appearance.

In the E-Dugme plastic eyelets category, buyers can compare No 4 and No 5 black plastic eyelet options. No 4 plastic eyelets have a 4 mm / 0.16 in inner diameter, while No 5 plastic eyelets have an 8.5 mm / 0.33 in inner diameter. These sizes can be evaluated according to cord thickness, surface thickness and application purpose.

What Are Plastic Eyelets?

A plastic eyelet is a lightweight capsule installed around a prepared hole in fabric, tarpaulin, curtain material, bag material, craft surface or leather-look product. Once applied with the correct setting die, it helps support the hole area and creates a cleaner passage for cords, laces, strings or fixing components.

Inner diameter determines the passage size. Outer diameter affects the visible surface coverage. Barrel length affects compatibility with material thickness. Setting die compatibility affects how evenly the eyelet sits on the surface after installation.

How to Choose Plastic Eyelet Size

Application Areas

• Tarpaulins, tents and tensioning rope holes
• Curtains, home textiles and decorative textile applications
• Bags, pouches, covers, promotional items and craft projects
• Textile and leather-look products requiring lightweight fastening points
• Applications where a non-metal eyelet appearance is preferred

Plastic Eyelets and Metal Eyelets

Plastic eyelets can be selected when a lightweight, black and non-metal fastening point is preferred. Brass eyelets can be selected for garments, shoes, bags and leather goods where finish colour and decorative metal trim are important. Stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized eyelets can be evaluated for tarpaulin, awning, banner, outdoor and technical textile projects according to the application requirement.

Hole Cutting and Setting Die Compatibility

Plastic eyelet installation depends on the prepared hole 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. The hole size, material thickness and barrel length should be evaluated together before production.

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.
