Brass Eyelet Capsules and Grommets

Brass eyelet capsules, brass eyelets and brass grommets are metal hole-reinforcement components used in garments, shoes, bags, leather goods, curtains, tarpaulins, banners, accessories, craft projects and technical textiles. They support the edge of a prepared hole, create a clean passage for cords, drawstrings, laces, ropes or fixing points and add a decorative metal finish to the product surface.

The E-Buttons brass eyelet capsules category is designed for garment manufacturers, bag makers, footwear producers, curtain workshops, tarpaulin and banner producers, accessory brands, craft sellers and textile accessory buyers. Depending on the project, buyers can compare small garment eyelets, shoe eyelets, bag eyelets, curtain eyelets and larger grommets for technical textile applications.

What Are Brass Eyelet Capsules?

A brass eyelet capsule is installed around a prepared hole in fabric, leather, canvas, coated fabric, shoe upper, bag material or technical textile surface. Once applied with the correct setting die and washer structure, the eyelet helps stabilize the hole edge and supports cord, lace, rope, elastic or attachment passage.

Inner diameter determines the passage size. Outer diameter affects the visible surface coverage. Barrel height affects compatibility with material thickness. Washer type affects how the eyelet sits on the material after installation.

Larger sizes are used for curtains, tarpaulins, banners, tents and technical textiles.

Brass Eyelets and Stainless Eyelets

Brass eyelets can be selected for garment, leather goods, bags and decorative textile projects where finish colour and trim appearance are central to the design. Stainless eyelets can be selected for outdoor, tarpaulin, tent, banner, curtain, shoe, bag and technical textile applications. The correct choice depends on application surface, material thickness, cord diameter, washer type, colour expectation, installation method and production requirements.

Colour and Finish Options

Brass eyelet capsules may be available in free nickel, black nickel, gold yellow, antique brass, gun metal and antique silver finishes depending on the product model. Free nickel and antique silver can support clean or technical designs. Black nickel and gun metal are useful for dark fabrics, bags and outdoor products. Gold yellow and antique brass can create a more classic appearance on leather goods, bags and decorative textiles.

Washer, Hole Cutting and Setting Die Compatibility

Brass eyelet installation depends on the eyelet capsule, prepared hole, washer type and compatible setting die. Some products may use plastic washers, some may use metal washers and some may offer product-specific washer options. The washer supports the material around the hole and helps the eyelet sit more evenly on the product surface.

For compatible molds and dies, check the grommet dies and setting tools category. For hole preparation, grommet punching dies can be evaluated. For a broader product comparison, visit the eyelets and grommets category.
