Reinforcing

Eyelet / Grommet

A small ring set through a hole to reinforce it and stop the fabric from tearing or fraying where a cord, lace or rivet passes. Used on caps, hoodies and bags. Eyelets are stamped and the barrel is formed by cold heading, and Qinxi has no stamping or cold-heading line, so they are sourced from the supply chain.

Applications

  • Baseball capsVent or strap-pass hole reinforcement
  • Bucket hats
  • Hoodies & sportswearDrawcord hole reinforcement
  • BackpacksDrain or lash point reinforcement

Selection tips

  • Match the barrel length to the fabric thickness: too short and it will not roll over, too long and the flange stands proud and scratches.
  • Use stainless for wet or outdoor use; brass is the default for garment needle-detector compatibility.
  • Ferrous eyelets trigger garment needle detectors; confirm on the buyer's detector for 100% needle-detected markets.
  • Nickel-free plating is needed for EU skin-contact items to meet REACH nickel-release limits.

Manufacturing process & quality control points

Qinxi in-houseSupply chain / partnersIn-house or supply chain
  1. 1

    Stamping and barrel forming

    Supply chain / partners

    Coil stock is blanked and the barrel is drawn and formed so it rolls over cleanly when set. Qinxi has no stamping or cold-heading line, so this is done by the supply chain to the agreed diameter and barrel length.

    Quality control points

    • Barrel and flange dimension · Caliper and go/no-go gauge · Per lot, AQL 2.5 (ISO 2859-1 general level II)
  2. 2

    Plating

    Supply chain / partners

    Eyelets are plated to the target colour. Plating is outsourced to the supply chain; coating thickness and corrosion are verified against the agreed specification.

    Quality control points

    • Coating thickness · XRF coating thickness gauge (ISO 3497 / ASTM B568) · One set per plating colour per batch
    • Corrosion resistance · Neutral salt spray, 5% NaCl, 35 C (ISO 9227 / GB/T 10125) · One sample set per batch
  3. 3

    Setting and pull-through test

    Supply chain / partners

    Eyelets are set through the production fabric and pulled to confirm the barrel rolls and holds. Supplied and tested by the supply chain, with Qinxi spot-checking on the actual garment build-up.

    Quality control points

    • Roll-over and pull-through · Universal tensile machine, 50 mm/min, record peak · One sample set per batch
