What to keep in mind when applying eyelets to delicate materials (thin leather, technical fabrics, etc.)

How to place eyelets without damaging delicate materials presents a major challenge when working with fine leathers, technical fabrics, or lightweight canvas. These elements, highly valued for their aesthetics and lightness, require special care to avoid tearing or deforming the material when punching.

The pressure and type of die directly affect the outcome. Too strong a strike, an incorrect die, or poor alignment can ruin your product.

That’s why the key is to use the right tool and adjust the pressure force according to the thickness and strength of the material.

Here are some practical tips:

• Use sharp and well-calibrated dies.
• Adjust the machine's pressure.
• Conduct preliminary tests before placing eyelets on the final piece.
