Carmo is a world leader in weldable plastic eyelets and grommets.
Carmos HF weldable plastic eyelets are strong, flexible and do not rupture. We blend the right composition of raw materials to meet your specific demands for performance, weather conditions, UV radiation exposure, etc.
Compared to metal grommets, welded PVC eyelets will fuse together with the foil and result in a joint that is significantly stronger and can withstand significantly higher pull forces. This is especially true when working in mesh materials.
Watch the Pull Experiment here. The result speaks for itself.
Carmo’s eyelets are typically used for reinforcement of holes in foils and fabric. In building wraps, banners and tarpaulins.
- Outperforms metal grommets in flexibility and strength
- Durable in harsh environments. Will not rust and leave stains
- No hemming required,
- the only solution for single layer vinyl.
- “Invisible” placement of eyelets on the back of the banner is possible.

Application notes
How to mount weldable eyelets…
Our weldable eyelets are typically mounted using High Frequency Welding (also known as HF welding or RF welding) or ultrasonic welding. We supply a full range of tools and electrodes – covering all our geometries – for use in existing bar welders, and a line of dedicated machines for integrated punching, automatic feeding and welding of eyelets.
Prototyping and small-scale production…
For small-scale production, prototyping and repairs we also recommend our unique Carmo seal, suitable for gluing soft PVC to PVC. Carmo Seal is resistant to heat, water, oil, petrol, plasticizer and ageing.
How to increase strength…
Depending on the application, Carmo PVC eyelets can be used in both single-sided and double-sided configurations:
 |
Single sided eyelet welding offers quick insertion and welding and the possibilities to hide the eyelet from direct view – especially useful in high-quality banner production.
Double sided eyelet welding offers maximum strength and durability – especially in mesh materials. |
