OVAL EYELETS

OVAL EYELETS

Oval Eyelets are commonly used in footwear, bags, and garment accessories. With an elongated oval shape, they provide smoother lace guidance and enhanced durability. Available in brass (premium look, easy to polish and plate), stainless steel (high strength, corrosion resistant), or aluminum (lightweight, durable). Manufactured by wire forming or metal stamping, these eyelets combine functionality and aesthetics, supporting logo engraving or embossing for brand customization. Ideal for shoelace holes, bag openings, straps, and outdoor gear applications.


Based on your specific needs, we offer a variety of material options to ensure both functionality and durability.

  • Brass : Excellent ductility, easy to polish and plate, premium appearance; medium strength, suitable for light–medium loads.
  • Stainless Steel: High strength and corrosion resistance; the first choice for outdoor/sweat/salt-air environments .
  • Aluminum/ Iron: Lightweight with good corrosion resistance; suitable for sports and travel equipment, with medium load capacity.

***Rule of thumb: For high load/safety, prioritize stainless steel wire-formed construction; for appearance/shape freedom, choose brass or aluminum (stamped).***

Forming Methods

  • Sheet metal stamped: Blanked from steel/brass strip; outer edges finished with corner radii and polishing.

Functions

  • Connection/Guidance: Serves as a guide ring or junction for webbing, belts, and laces, preventing edge cutting.
  • Load Bearing: Distributes tension through the ring cross-section; wire-formed with welded joint offers higher load capacity.
  • Decoration/Branding: “Cinched waist” profile creates a sleeker look; supports etching/laser engraving/die-cast logos and custom colors.
  • Durability/Corrosion Resistance: Sweat, salt-spray, and wear performance depend on base material and finish/coating.

Oval eyelets are versatile components used across multiple industries, combining durability, guiding function, and decorative appeal.

  • Bags & Leather Goods: Commonly applied in backpacks, camera bags, travel duffels, belt ends, and handle connection points to reinforce holes, distribute tension, and enhance aesthetic quality.

  • Apparel & Footwear: Frequently used in military-style jackets, adjustment straps, and boot lace loops—offering both structural support and refined style.

  • Pet Accessories: Ideal for collars and leashes, providing reliable strength and safe attachment.

  • Sports & Outdoor Gear: Used in luggage straps, fitness harnesses, and outdoor equipment loops for secure connection and heavy-duty performance.
