Leathercraft eyelet installation — professional fitting service

Leathercraft eyelet installation is a service designed for companies, workshops, manufacturers and individual customers who need a durable, aesthetic and functional finish for holes in various types of materials. Leathercraft eyelets can serve both a technical and decorative function — they protect the hole from tearing, reinforce the material and make it easier to thread cord, webbing, rope, elastic or other fastening elements through the opening.

Eyelets are used in leather goods, clothing, technical products, tarpaulins, covers, decorations, advertising, bookbinding and functional accessories. With proper installation, the product gains a durable and aesthetic finish that works well in everyday use.

We carry out the service using professional presses and properly selected tools, which makes it possible to achieve a repeatable, even and stable result. Eyelets can be installed in finished products, semi-finished products and elements prepared for further production.

What does the service involve?

The service involves setting a leathercraft eyelet in the material using a press and a properly matched die. The eyelet reinforces the hole and protects its edges, making the material less exposed to tearing or fraying.

Depending on the project, eyelets can be installed in:

• finished products,
• semi-finished products,
• natural leather elements,
• synthetic leather,
• technical fabrics,
• felt,
• tarpaulins,
• textile materials,
• advertising elements,
• bookbinding products,
• single pieces,
• small series,
• larger production orders.

If needed, the service may also include making holes for eyelets — depending on the type of material, thickness and project requirements.

Production options

Leathercraft eyelet installation can be adapted to a specific product, material type, eyelet size and expected final result.

Available options include:

• installation of eyelets in various materials and products,
• the option to make holes for eyelets,
• selection of eyelet size according to the application,
• installation of eyelets from 4 mm to 40 mm,
• choice of fitting colour and finish,
• choice of eyelet type and quality,
• installation in finished products and semi-finished products,
• single-piece orders,
• small production runs,
• larger orders,
• repeatable installation according to the customer’s guidelines.

This allows the service to be adapted both to simple functional accessories and to more demanding technical, advertising, decorative or fashion products.

Available eyelet variants

As part of the service, various sizes and variants of leathercraft eyelets can be used. The correct eyelet selection depends on the type of material, thickness, intended use of the product and expected appearance.

Available variants may include:

• eyelets with a diameter from 4 mm to 40 mm,
• different fitting colours,
• different surface finishes,
• economical variants,
• standard variants,
• higher-quality variants,
• premium variants,
• eyelets matched to leather, synthetic leather, fabrics, felt, tarpaulins, advertising products and bookbinding products.

Choosing the right eyelet is important for the durability, aesthetics and functionality of the finished product. Different eyelets will work better for light textile decorations, while others are more suitable for tarpaulins, covers or products exposed to heavier loads.

Option to make holes

Depending on the material and project, we can also make holes for eyelets. This is an important stage because the hole should be matched to the eyelet diameter and the type of material.

Making holes may be necessary, among others, in:

• natural leather,
• synthetic leather,
• technical fabrics,
• felt,
• tarpaulins,
• decorative materials,
• banners and advertising elements,
• bookbinding products,
• bags,
• sacks,
• backpacks,
• pouches,
• curtains and technical textiles.

The need to make holes affects the scope of work and can be included in the individual quotation.
