2 cm / 0.79 in Brass Oval Eyelets, Black Nickel, 100 Pieces EROV0020PRPromo

2 cm / 0.79 in Brass Oval Eyelets in Black Nickel are designed for products that need a reinforced elongated opening with a dark metal finish. They can be used on shoes, boots, bags, wallets, leather accessories, apparel, and decorative textile designs where a lace, ribbon, flat cord, or narrow strap passes through the material.

The oval shape does more than create an opening. It follows the direction of flat materials more naturally than a round eyelet and gives the finished product a stronger, more deliberate hardware detail. This makes it a practical choice for footwear, bag making, leather craft, workwear, and fashion applications.

When should you choose an oval eyelet?

Choose this style when the opening needs to be longer in one direction. It is useful for flat shoelaces, narrow straps, ribbon, decorative threading, and other details that do not sit naturally inside a round opening.

This size is suitable for visible trim details as well as functional passage points. It can be used on shoe uppers, bag panels, wallets, leather goods, shirts, blouses, knitwear, denim details, workwear, and children’s apparel.

Size Selection Guide

The listed size is 2 cm / 0.79 in. Before ordering, compare the actual internal opening with the width and thickness of the lace, ribbon, strap, or other material that will pass through the eyelet.

• Capsule outer size: 2.80 × 1.18 cm / 1.10 × 0.46 in
• Capsule inner opening: 2.14 × 0.56 cm / 0.84 × 0.22 in
• Capsule height: 0.48 cm / 0.19 in
• Metal washer outer size: 2.80 × 1.18 cm / 1.10 × 0.46 in
• Metal washer inner opening: 2.23 × 0.68 cm / 0.88 × 0.27 in
• Metal washer height: 0.09 cm / 0.04 in

Choose a larger oval eyelet when the material passing through it is wider than the internal opening or when the design needs a more prominent hardware detail. For delicate work, narrow laces, and smaller product surfaces, a smaller oval option may look more balanced.

Installation Notes

For a clean installation, prepare the material with the matching oval eyelet punching die before setting the eyelet. The eyelet should then be installed with the corresponding 2 cm oval grommet mounting die.

Installation can be carried out with hand-setting tools, a hand press, an impact press, an electric machine, or a pneumatic machine when the correct die connection is selected. Check the die fit, machine connection, material thickness, and press pressure before beginning production.

On thin, stretchy, or loosely woven fabrics, a suitable reinforcement layer can help the eyelet sit evenly and reduce distortion around the opening. On firm leather or multilayer materials, an accurately prepared oval hole is especially important for a neat result.

Why Black Nickel?

Black Nickel is a dark metallic finish rather than a flat black coating. It is a good match for products with black, charcoal, dark brown, navy, or smoked-color materials. On lighter fabrics and leather, it can be used as a controlled contrast detail.

The 100-piece pack is suitable for prototype work, limited collections, craft workshops, and production orders where the same eyelet will be used across multiple finished products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 2 cm / 0.79 in the actual inside opening size?

No. The listed measurement identifies the product size. The capsule’s actual inner opening is 2.14 × 0.56 cm / 0.84 × 0.22 in, which should be compared with the material passing through it.

What does the Black Nickel finish look like?

Black Nickel is a deep metallic finish with a dark appearance. It is not the same as matte black and retains a metal surface character.

Can these eyelets be used on footwear?

Yes. They are suitable for shoes and boots that need an elongated opening for laces, ribbon, or decorative details. Match the die and press pressure to the thickness of the upper material.

Are these eyelets suitable for bags and leather goods?

Yes. They can be used on bag panels, wallets, leather accessories, and decorative lacing details. For load-bearing hardware points, choose components based on the construction and expected load of the finished product.

Does the pack include the installation dies?

No. The matching punching die and mounting die are selected separately based on the installation equipment and connection type.

Why choose an oval eyelet instead of a round eyelet?

An oval eyelet is a better choice when the opening needs to follow the direction of a flat lace, ribbon, or narrow strap. It also creates a longer and more visible design detail than a round eyelet.
