EYELETS FOR BANNERS
These can be split in to four main groups and with the exception of the PolyGroms™ they are all manufactured from high quality brass as standard:
- Self-piercing eyelets; For low to medium volume work, quick and easy to insert with simple equipment.
- PolyGroms™; These are polycarbonate eyelets which allow easier recycling of the entire banner and the transparent version are also nearly invisible.
- Standard sail eyelets; High volume or specialised work/materials
- Grommet eyelets; Extra strength for tough jobs

FAQ’s about Eyelets
Why are your products better?
We make eyelets and setting equipment and we understand how they work together, this gives us a great insight in to the technical aspect of eyeleting.
I already have a machine, will your eyelets work on it?
It’s very important that the eyelets match the setting dies of your machine. Even a difference of a fraction of a millimetre can prevent an eyelet setting correctly. However we have a wide range of eyelets and can usually find a solution that means you don’t need to replace your machine.
Will you be able to supply me when I’m ready to re-order?
As a manufacturer of eyelets we are not at the end long supply chain where the original source is always changing, if you buy an eyelet from us today you will get the same eyelet from us when you re-order.
Will your eyelets go through multiple layers of material?
Yes, they are designed to go through the folded hem of a banner.
Why are brass eyelets better than steel?
Brass is better than steel because it will not rust, even electro-plated steel will still rust when exposed to wet weather, ruining your banner. Brass is also more malleable than steel and easier to insert with a manual machine.
What is the most common size eyelet used in banners?
Between 9 and 12 mm, our most poular eyelet is the SP11.
How do you fit eyelets?
With a setting machine, either manual or powered the end result is the same. The machine re-shapes the eyelet barrel and grips the material to reinforce the hole.
Can you help hem the banners?
Yes, we supply hemming tape and other items to such as bungees and cable ties to complete your banner.
