Bag Grommets
Bag grommets are essential hardware components used to reinforce holes in handbags, totes, backpacks, and luggage. They add strength to areas where straps, cords, or chains are attached, preventing fabric from fraying or tearing. Available in various sizes, shapes, and finishes—including brass, black, and antique—they also serve as decorative accents. Whether you’re designing a fashion-forward purse or a heavy-duty canvas bag, bag grommets combine durability with style for a professional, long-lasting finish.

how to use grommet machine
Step 1: Set Up the Machine
Start by placing the machine on a stable surface and connecting it to a power source. Make sure all safety switches are in place. Load the grommets and washers into their designated feeding trays or hoppers. Most automatic machines have separate compartments for each part.
Step 2: Adjust the Settings
Use the digital panel or manual controls to set the desired grommet size and punching force. Some models allow you to select punching depth, cycle time, or even auto-detection for fabric thickness. Refer to your machine’s manual for specific setup instructions.
Step 3: Position the Material
Align your material under the machine’s grommet head. If your model has a laser guide or LED pointer, use it to ensure precise placement. Hold the fabric firmly in place or use a positioning jig if provided.
Step 4: Start the Machine
Press the start button or foot pedal (depending on your model). The machine will automatically punch the hole, feed the grommet and washer, and press them together in one cycle. No hand pressing is needed—everything is done electronically.
Step 5: Inspect and Repeat
Check the first few grommets to ensure tight, clean finishes. Adjust settings if needed. Once you’re satisfied, continue the operation. The machine will consistently install grommets with minimal supervision, ideal for mass production.
