Eyelets Used as a Fastening Device on Folders and Pads

Usually to hold a fastening device on a folder, brass or nickel eyelets are not intended for this purpose – but designers often insist! Elastic can be captured within the curve of an eyelet when the eyelet is being pressed into position and this is often used as a basis for making a fastening device to close the cover of a folder or a notebook. Another instance is when two “washers” are affixed to the folder and a piece of string is captured. The string makes a “figure 8” around the washers to close the folder.

Hole information

The hole size is to be 5mm diameter to accommodate standard stationery eyelets. However, if your job calls for a special eyelet then this must be discussed with one of our senior estimators.
