  • can anyone give me some feedback on an eyelet machine?

    Posted by Michael Tremarco on 5 December 2007 at 11:16

    Hi everyone 😀
    Just about to purchase an eyelet machine from Atwells. I need it to pierce vinyl (obviously) but also to put eyelets in polyester flag material. The lady on the phone explained that it may not be able to pierce certain woven fabrics and possibly won’t work.
    Is there anybody out there making flags and using an eyelet machine? If so which one do you use? I was about to purchase the HP 500.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks all 🙂

    I use a cheap chinese eyelet press. I can eyelet pvc banners and cotton flags no problems.

    I can take a pic of it if you like.
