These 30.6 × 6.4 mm / 1.20 × 0.25 in nickel brass oval eyelets are designed for projects that need a clean, narrow metal-reinforced opening rather than a standard round hole. They can be used in shoes, bags, belts, leather accessories, apparel, costume details, decorative textile work, and other products where a lace, cord, slim tie, or narrow connection element passes through the material.
Small hardware details often shape how customers perceive a finished product. A clean oval eyelet can make a lace passage, bag connection, or garment detail feel more deliberate. When the metal tone, oval proportion, cord fit, and installation quality are all matched correctly, the eyelet becomes part of the product’s design rather than looking like an afterthought.
Know the Real Opening Before Choosing This Eyelet
This eyelet has a 30.6 mm / 1.20 in long inner dimension and a 6.4 mm / 0.25 in short inner dimension. The narrow 6.4 mm width is important: this item is designed for thin laces, narrow cords, slim ties, and decorative pass-through details.
It is not intended for 30 mm / 1.18 in webbing, wide bag straps, or thick belt materials. Always compare the physical cord, lace, tie, or connection detail with the true 30.6 × 6.4 mm inner opening before placing an order.
Where Can These Oval Eyelets Be Used?
These eyelets can be used in footwear, bags, leather accessories, belts, shirts, blouses, workwear, denim shirts, costume pieces, decorative textile products, and selected children’s projects. The oval form can create a more tailored visual line than a round eyelet when the design calls for a narrow elongated opening.
For products under frequent pulling force, test the actual material stack, backing option, cord movement, and installation result before production. The right eyelet size should fit the project without squeezing the cord or leaving excessive movement around it.
Brass Material with Nickel Finish
The eyelet is made from brass and has a nickel finish. This silver-tone appearance can coordinate well with black, navy, gray, denim, white, charcoal, and cool-toned product collections.
To create a more cohesive final product, match the eyelet finish with zippers, rivets, buckles, hooks, snaps, logo plates, and other visible hardware. Coordinated metal details can make a bag, garment, or accessory feel more polished and professionally designed.
Eyelet and Bottom Washer Planning
The product is supplied as a 100-piece oval-eyelet pack. Plastic bottom washers are not included. Select the bottom washer system according to the material type, thickness, backing construction, and intended use of the finished product.
For thin textiles, soft leather, flexible material, or layered construction, the correct washer and controlled pressure can help the eyelet sit more evenly. Test the selected system on the actual material before moving to regular production.
Use Separate Punching and Setting Dies
Installing an oval eyelet requires two different operations. First, prepare the oval hole. Then install and compress the eyelet using the matched setting die. A punching die does not install the eyelet, and a setting die does not replace the hole-preparation step.
Select the 30 mm / 1.18 in oval punching die for the hole-preparation step and the matching 3 cm / 1.18 in oval eyelet setting die for installation. Check the press connection, thread type, eyelet size, washer selection, and material thickness before ordering tooling.
Installation Checks That Protect the Finished Product
- Measure the lace, cord, tie, or connection detail against the 30.6 × 6.4 mm inner opening.
- Check the total thickness of leather, fabric, lining, reinforcement, and backing layers.
- Use separate compatible tools for punching and setting.
- Confirm whether your application needs a metal or plastic bottom washer.
- Make a real sample on the exact project material.
- Inspect for sharp edges, eyelet rotation, loose seating, uneven compression, or material damage.
Custom Eyelet Options for Brands
Oval eyelets can be developed in custom inner openings, outer dimensions, materials, finishes, colors, and shapes. For a custom project, share the desired pass-through size, material thickness, target finish, intended application, estimated quantity, and any drawing or physical reference.
For branded hardware, logo or lettering feasibility depends on the visible surface area, eyelet form, production method, and minimum quantity. Share your design requirements so the most suitable eyelet or alternative branded accessory can be evaluated.
