Coin Type Eyelets

Coin Type Eyelets for Decorative and Functional Hole Reinforcement

Coin type eyelets are decorative brass eyelets with a broad, coin-like visible rim. They reinforce a prepared hole while creating a cleaner metal finish around cords, laces, ties, drawstrings or fastening passages. Their wider visible surface makes them especially suitable for bags, leather goods, garment accessories, footwear details, pouches, organizers and craft products where the eyelet remains part of the final design.

Unlike a standard low-profile eyelet, a coin type eyelet is chosen when the metal trim should be more noticeable on the finished surface. It can help turn an ordinary cord or lace hole into a more intentional accessory detail.

Current Coin Type Eyelet Specification

Where Are Coin Type Eyelets Used?

• Handbags, tote bags, backpacks and pouches
• Leather goods, wallets, belts and small leather accessories
• Hoodies, outerwear, sweatpants and decorative garment details
• Shoes, boots and lace-up accessory applications
• Organizers, covers, craft products and handmade accessories
• Decorative cord, lace, tie and fastening passages

When Should You Choose a Coin Type Eyelet?

Choose a coin type eyelet when the hole reinforcement point remains visible and needs a wider decorative metal border. It is useful for projects where a standard eyelet may look too narrow or too plain on the product surface.

The 7.5 mm / 19/64 in inner diameter should be selected according to the cord, lace, elastic, tie or fastening component that will pass through the eyelet. The passage component should move freely without forcing the eyelet edge, while the selected barrel height should suit the total thickness of the material layers.

Choosing the Right Finish

Free Nickel and Antique Silver can suit clean, light-coloured or technical-looking designs. Black Nickel and Gun Metal are useful for dark bags, outdoor accessories and modern fashion products. Gold and Antique Brass finishes can create a warmer decorative look on leather goods, classic bags and garment accessories.

For repeat production, check finish continuity together with the eyelet size, material thickness and compatible setting method before placing a larger order.

Installation and Setting Tool Compatibility

Coin type eyelets should be installed with a setting die designed for the exact eyelet model, diameter, barrel construction and companion part structure. A prepared hole that is too large can reduce holding strength, while a hole that is too small can deform the barrel during installation.

Review the grommet dies and setting tools category for compatible installation equipment. For clean hole preparation, see grommet punching dies and hole cutter tools for press machines.

Compatible eyelet setting dies can be used with hand-setting tools, hand presses, impact presses, electric machines and pneumatic machines when the die connection, machine compatibility and required setting force are appropriate for the application.
