Metal Eyelets For Paper

Introduction

Metal eyelets for paper are simple but useful. They are placed in punched holes in paper or cardstock. The metal eyelets for paper reinforce the hole and prevent tearing. This makes it easy to put ribbons, strings, or rings through the paper. These eyelets also give a professional look to paper projects. They are usually made from thin brass or aluminum. This keeps them light and easy to set with a simple hand press. Once a metal eyelet for paper is pressed in, it stays firmly in place. It won't fall out even with regular handling.

Eyelets in Detail

Technical Specifications – Standard Sizes for Paper Applications

Paper eyelets are typically smaller and lighter than those used for fabric or leather. The barrel length is kept short to prevent damage to thin substrates. Below are our most commonly stocked sizes for paper and cardstock applications.

Tolerances: Inner diameter ±0.05mm, outer flange ±0.10mm, barrel length ±0.10mm.

Important: For stacks exceeding 25 sheets of 80gsm paper, we recommend pre-punching the material before setting the eyelet. The barrel length should be approximately 2mm longer than the total thickness of the paper stack to ensure a proper clinch.

Material Options for Paper Eyelets

Paper eyelets do not require the same corrosion resistance as outdoor hardware, but material choice affects appearance, weight, and setting ease.

Surface Finishes for Paper Eyelets

We offer a range of finishes for paper eyelets to match different aesthetic and functional requirements.

Cerfitification We Have Owned

How We Ensure Quality – One Eyelet, Multiple Checks

We do not rely on visual inspection alone. Every batch of metal eyelets for paper passes through a documented quality control sequence. All eyelets are checked to ensure smooth edges – no sharp burrs that could tear paper or snag fingers.

• Raw material inspection – Incoming brass, aluminum, or steel sheet is checked for thickness and surface quality.
• First article dimensional check – Inner diameter, outer flange, and barrel length are verified against drawing specifications.
• In-process inspection – Operators check dimensions at regular intervals during production.
• Burr inspection – Every eyelet is examined for smooth edges; any eyelet with sharp burrs is rejected.
• Finish inspection – Plating or lacquer consistency is verified visually and with thickness measurement.
• Final outgoing inspection – Random samples are pulled for full dimensional verification before packaging.

All inspection records are retained and can be provided upon request.

Some Questions About Eyelets

Q: What causes partial cracking of eyelets?

A: Check whether the riveting die is worn.

Q: What causes complete cracking of eyelets?

A: Check whether the eyelet length is too long, or whether the eyelet head diameter is too large.

Q: What causes poor flaring of eyelet?

A: Check whether the riveting die matches the eyelet.

Q: What causes insufficient flaring of eyelet?

A: The reserved riveting length is too short, or the die does not match.

Q: How to ensure dimensional consistency across batches about eyelets?

A: Nuote Metals provides first article inspection reports and process control records; critical dimensions should be 100% inspected using optical sorters or go/no-go gauges.

Q: Does the eyelets meet environmental requirements such as RoHS, REACH, etc.?

A: Nuote Metals can provide RoHS, REACH, and other compliance declarations, along with third-party test reports when necessary.

Q: Does the Nuote Metals provide technical support if installation issues occur?

A: Yes, we provide on-site or remote technical support to help troubleshoot die issues, equipment settings, or material defects.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and lead time?

A: MOQ for eyelets is 50,000pcs, standard lead time is about 10-15 working days, please consult sales for details.
