Brass Hollow Rivets

Notice those neat little rivets on a leather wallet or a piece of brass hardware? Chances are, they’re brass hollow rivets. They’re light, won’t rust, and have that classic warm look people like. Here at Nuote Metals, we make plenty of them, especially for jobs where looks matter just as much as holding things together.

These brass hollow rivets are hollow all the way through, like a tiny tube. You set them with a simple tool or a press, and the hollow end flares out to grip the material. They’re perfect for softer stuff—leather, fabric, thin metal—where a heavy fastener would be too much. You’ll often see them on bags, belts, trim pieces, and lighter assemblies.

How do they compare to other hollow rivets? Here’s a quick take. Steel hollow rivets are stronger, but they’re heavier and can rust if you don’t coat them. Aluminum ones are even lighter and don’t corrode, but they don’t have that distinctive brass color or feel. Plastic rivets are the lightest and cheapest, but they don’t look or feel as solid. So brass hollow rivets really sit in a nice middle ground—strong enough, won’t corrode, and they just look good.

If you want a fastener that works well, lasts, and adds a touch of quality to your product, our brass hollow rivets are a smart pick. We make them consistently at Nuote Metals, so every batch looks clean and fits right. Working on something that could use a little brass? Give us a shout.
