Ata Buttons manufactures metal eyelets and grommets from 4mm to 40mm at our Istanbul factory. As a direct eyelet manufacturer, we supply garment factories, shoe producers, leather workshops, banner printers, and marine cover manufacturers across Europe, USA, and Asia.
Whether you need tiny brass eyelets for shirts and blouses, medium eyelets for shoes and corsets, or large industrial metal grommets for canvas and banners — we manufacture all sizes with consistent OEKO-TEX certified quality.
Eyelet: single-piece ring, 4-12mm, lightweight fabric (clothing, shoes, bags). Grommet: two-piece ring + washer, 12-40mm+, heavy material (canvas, sail, banner, leather goods). Both terms used interchangeably in industry.

Material Options
🟡 Solid Brass (Most Popular)
Corrosion-resistant, ages with beautiful patina, premium feel. Best for fashion, leather goods, and quality-driven products. Available in natural, antique, polished, and aged-gold finishes.
⚪ Iron (Plated)
Cost-effective for high-volume production. Plated with nickel, brass, gunmetal, or painted finishes. Suitable for fast-fashion and short-lifespan applications.
🛡️ Stainless Steel
304 and 316 grades — rust-proof for marine, outdoor, and industrial wash applications. Most expensive option but lasts 10+ years even in salt-spray environments. See waterproof range.
🪶 Aluminum
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, often anodized in colors. Used in sportswear, outdoor performance gear, and lightweight bags. ~30% lighter than brass.
