Steel Stainless Eyelet Capsules and Grommets

Steel stainless eyelet capsules, stainless steel eyelets and stainless grommets are metal hole-reinforcement components used in garments, shoes, bags, leather goods, tarpaulins, tents, banners, curtains, covers, outdoor textiles, craft projects and technical fabrics.

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

What Are Stainless Eyelet Capsules?

A stainless eyelet capsule is installed around a prepared hole in fabric, leather, tarpaulin, canvas, banner vinyl or technical textile material. Once applied with the correct setting die and washer structure, the eyelet helps stabilize the hole edge and supports cord, lace, rope 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.

Stainless Eyelets and Brass Eyelets

Stainless eyelets can be selected for outdoor, tarpaulin, tent, banner, curtain, shoe, bag and technical textile applications. 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. The correct choice depends on application surface, material thickness, cord diameter, washer type, colour expectation, installation method and production requirements.

Colour and Finish Options

Stainless 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

Stainless 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 tarpaulins, banners, awnings, tents and thicker fabrics.

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.
