What Eyelet Machine Should I Get?

Choosing the right eyelet machine for your business is crucial to maintaining efficiency and improve productivity in your signage business. 

With Eurotech’s range of eyelet machines, we provide four key options designed to meet various business needs. However, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. The decision often comes down to the nature of your work, the volume of eyelets you set daily, and who will be operating the machine.

Here are some key questions to help you determine which machine is best for you:

1

How many eyelets or grommets do I set each day?

2

How many People In My Team Will Be Using This Machine?

3

What materials am I mostly eyeleting?

4

Do I Prefer A Simpler Machine That Can Be Used By Anyone?

5

Will I have a dedicated person that is able to handle a more complex machine?

To help you make the right choice, we break down the differences between our four main eyelet machines:

Fully automatic, top of the line

The Multipress is designed for businesses handling high volumes of eyelets or grommets daily. This machine is all about speed, precision, and efficiency. It’s equipped with an electric motor and sensors, meaning it’s as fast as you press the pedal, and it automatically feeds eyelets and washers. Perfect if you need to minimize operator error and reduce training time.

BEST FOR
KEY FEATURES

 ✔ High-volume productions (100’s or 1000’s of eyelets a day)

 ✔ Teams with less experience, as sensors prevent mistakes

 ✔ Materials like fabric, PVC, and fluteboard, thanks to die adjustment features

 ✔ Fast electric motor

 ✔ Adjustable die for controlling eyelet compression

 ✔ Built-in sensors for error prevention

 ✔ Multiple programs for various materials

Versatile all-rounder and fully automatic

The Evolution offers the perfect balance between functionality and ease of use. While it’s also fully automatic, it’s simpler and less sophisticated than the Multipress, making it easier to maintain. It’s ideal for businesses that need an automatic machine but don’t require advanced features like sensors.

BEST FOR
KEY FEATURES

 ✔ Moderate volume production

 ✔ Businesses that need a reliable, low-maintenance machine

 ✔ Operators who can manage hopper levels manually

 ✔ Fully automatic operation with self-feeding of eyelets and washers

 ✔ Pneumatic system, slower but more than sufficient for most production needs

 ✔ Lower maintenance compared to the Multipress

✘ No sensors, so manual oversight is required

Semi-automatic, efficient and affordable

The Speed Queen is a semi-automated machine that requires manual feeding of eyelets and washers but offers the ease of a foot-pedal operation. It’s a great choice for businesses that don’t need a fully automatic system but still want a fast and reliable solution.

BEST FOR
KEY FEATURES

 ✔ Small to medium production volumes

 ✔ Those who want to avoid fully manual processes but need cost efficiency

 ✔ Consistent results thanks to pneumatic operation

 ✔ Foot pedal for easy operation

 ✔ Requires manual feed of eyelets and washers

 ✔ Consistent pressure thanks to pneumatic system

✔ Popular 12mm variant for versatile eyeleting

Manual and affordable - perfect for small-scale production

For businesses that only set eyelets occasionally or are on a tight budget, our range of Hand Presses is the most cost-effective option. However, keep in mind that these machines are fully manual, which means the operator’s physical strength and stamina can affect the consistency of the results.

BEST FOR
KEY FEATURES

 ✔ Low volume production

 ✔ Tight budgets

 ✔ Occasional use or small-scale operations

 ✔ Manual operation

 ✔ Extremely cost-effective

 ✔ Requires consistent operator pressure

Ultimately, the best eyelet machine for your business depends on your production needs, the materials you’re working with, and how simple or advanced you want the operation to be. For high-volume, professional production, the Multipress or Evolution is likely your best bet. For lower volumes or more cost-conscious choices, the Speed Queen or Hand Press could be the right fit.

By considering these factors, you can find the perfect machine that meets your business’s needs and improves efficiency.
