Production Eyelet for Pleated Insect Screen Manufacturers
This eyelet is used to finish cord, thread, guide and connection openings in pleated insect screen systems. It creates a controlled edge around the prepared hole and allows the rear side to be supported with a selected washer.
The production inner diameter is 5.85 mm / 0.230 in and the installed opening is approximately 6 mm / 0.236 in. The outer diameter is 11.6 mm / 0.457 in, overall height is 6.4 mm / 0.252 in and barrel height is 5.3 mm / 0.209 in.
Which Production Requirements Does It Address?
- Creates a finished passage for screen cords and guide components

Metal Washer or Plastic Washer?
A metal washer may be selected when firmer rear support is preferred during screen production.
A plastic washer may be considered when a lighter and softer rear support is more suitable for the screen material.
Metal and plastic washers are separate product options and are not supplied together as one selection.
How Does the Washer Support the Screen Material?
The washer increases the rear contact area and helps spread the holding force across a wider section of the screen material.
This can provide more balanced support and help reduce pulling or slipping around the opening. Final strength also depends on the hole position, material construction, die profile and press setting.
Other Industry Applications
- Textile cord and drawstring passages
- Shoe and boot lace openings
- Bags and leather accessories
- Garment applications
- Tags, folders and cardboard products
Compatible Installation Tools
Use a setting die designed for standard eyelets in the approximately 6 mm / 0.236 in inner-opening group. Use a separate punching die when the material requires a prepared hole.
Perform a Pull Test Before Production
Screen construction, strip width, hole position, washer type and press adjustment affect installation strength. Test the complete combination on the actual system material.
Package Information
The package is prepared for 250 eyelet capsules. Select either a metal or plastic washer through the product options.
The setting die, punching tool and press are not included.
