In previous blogs, I’ve described some unusual ways to bind books with buttons (Rollabind), elastic bands and metal bolts. This week’s focus is on a binding style which is a little more common – books bound with metal eyelets!
The following pictures show eyelets of different colours, dimensions and thicknesses. Books bound with eyelets are bound permanently; sheets cannot re added or removed. The eyelets come in a wide range of colours. The most common colours by a wide margin are copper, silver, black and white. Other colours can sometimes require a longer delivery time.
Features
- Always round with scores of different rims or edge styles
- Smooth
- Wide range of colours
Benefits
- Very durable
- Unusual, distinctive and memorable
- Eyelets colours can be coordinated with printed copy

- Eyelet booklets can sometimes be inserted in ring binders
Factors to Consider
- Eyelet bound books are more expensive than flat stitched or saddle stitched and perfect binding styles of binding
- Maximum thickness is 3/8”
- Certain diameters, thicknesses and colours are always quickly available
