25 mm / 0.98 in Free Nickel Brass Oval Eyelets, Silver, 50 Pieces EROV0025PRPKFN

25 mm / 0.98 in Free Nickel Brass Oval Eyelets create a reinforced oval opening in bags, leather goods, garments, decorative textiles, and handmade accessories. Their brass construction and silver-tone free nickel finish make them suitable for designs that need a neat metal edge around a cord, ribbon, strap, or decorative threaded detail.

The elongated shape gives this eyelet a different role from a round grommet. It helps define the direction of the opening and creates a more structured visual detail on the finished product. This makes it especially useful for accessories and garments where a long, narrow opening better matches the shape of the material passing through it.

Where can these oval eyelets be used?

These eyelets can be used in bags, wallets, leather accessories, shirts, blouses, workwear, knitwear, denim garments, children’s clothing, decorative home textiles, craft work, and promotional products. They are particularly useful when a flat lace, ribbon, narrow strap, or decorative detail needs a more controlled opening than a round eyelet can provide.

For bag making and leather projects, the oval profile can add a clean hardware accent around a strap or decorative lacing detail. In apparel, it can be used as a functional opening or as a visible trim detail on shirts, blouses, knitwear, workwear, and fashion accessories.

Choosing the correct size

The listed size is 25 mm / 0.98 in. Before choosing an eyelet, compare the actual internal opening with the width and thickness of the cord, ribbon, strap, or decorative material that will pass through it.

• Capsule outer size: 3.32 × 1.28 cm / 1.31 × 0.50 in
• Capsule inner opening: 2.66 × 0.64 cm / 1.05 × 0.25 in
• Capsule height: 0.43 cm / 0.17 in
• Washer outer size: 3.30 × 1.28 cm / 1.30 × 0.50 in
• Washer inner opening: 2.74 × 0.73 cm / 1.08 × 0.29 in
• Washer height: 0.09 cm / 0.04 in

Choose a larger oval eyelet when the strap, cord, or ribbon is wider than the internal opening or when the design calls for a stronger visual effect. For lighter decorative work, finer materials, or smaller product surfaces, a smaller option from the oval eyelets and grommets collection may create a more balanced result.

Installation guidance

For a clean installation, the material should first be prepared with a matching oval eyelet punching die. The eyelet should then be set with the corresponding oval eyelet setting die so that the capsule and washer sit evenly around the opening.

Installation can be carried out with a hand-setting tool, hand press, impact press, electric machine, or pneumatic machine when the correct die and connection are used. Before production, check the die connection, material thickness, surface firmness, and press pressure with a test application.

Thin, stretch, or loosely woven fabrics may need a suitable reinforcement layer to help the eyelet remain stable and to reduce distortion around the opening.

Why select an oval eyelet instead of a round eyelet?

An oval eyelet is a better fit when the opening needs to follow the direction of a flat or elongated material. It can guide ribbon, narrow straps, and flat cords more naturally while creating a stronger visual line on the product surface.

Round eyelets are generally more suitable for round cords and compact openings. This 25 mm / 0.98 in model should be selected when the design needs a more noticeable oval detail with a silver-tone finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 25 mm / 0.98 in the exact size of the inside opening?

No. The listed 25 mm / 0.98 in measurement identifies the product size. The capsule’s internal opening measures 2.66 × 0.64 cm / 1.05 × 0.25 in, so this is the dimension that should be compared with the material passing through the eyelet.

Can these eyelets be used for bags and leather goods?

Yes. They are suitable for bag panels, wallets, leather accessories, and similar products that need an oval opening with a finished metal edge. The material thickness and the matching installation die should be checked before production.

Are they suitable for garment applications?

Yes. They can be used on shirts, blouses, knitwear, workwear, denim garments, and decorative apparel details. Thin or flexible fabrics may need reinforcement before installation.

No. The product is supplied as 50 oval eyelets. The punching die and setting die are selected separately based on the required application method and machine connection.
