Eyelets

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.
