Size and Shape:

Choosing the right size and shape of the eyelet is essential to ensure that it fits securely and provides the necessary support. The size of the hole is crucial because the eyelet needs to have the right diameter to fit through the eyelet.

Additionally, the flange diameter should be sufficient to provide the required strength for the intended use. The thickness of the material is also a key factor to consider, as it determines how deep the barrel of the eyelet should penetrate the material.

Therefore, it is crucial to choose an eyelet that is customized to your specific needs to ensure the best results.

Surface Treatment:

Eyelets are available in a variety of finishes, such as zinc plated, nickel plated, tin plated, and powder coating on head. The finish affects the appearance and durability and functionality of the eyelet, and you need to choose a finish that suits your preferences and needs.

In summary, when choosing an eyelet, you need to consider its strength and durability, material, surfacetreatment, size and shape, type of application, and cost to ensure that you choose the right type of eyelet for your specific needs.
