Selected sizes of the standard KS eyelets, the flat KP eyelets and the KT tarpaulin eyelets can carry a logo, as can the KL series, which was created specifically for branding – with a raised logo, lettering or pattern on the flange. The KM mesh eyelets, the KO oval eyelets and the KF shaped eyelets are offered without a logo. The logo is made in relief, in a finish of your choice – gold, black nickel colour, copper, nickel colour and others.
In this article you will find a table by series, how much room for a logo the flange offers at different sizes and how to prepare the logo so that it looks good even on a small eyelet.
Which eyelets can have a logo – table by series
| Series | Sizes (D) | Logo | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard KS | 7 – 48 mm | yes, in selected sizes | widest choice; the rounded flange gives the relief volume |
| Flat KP | 6.1 – 48 mm | yes, in selected sizes | the flat flange gives clearly legible relief |
| Tarpaulin KT | 60 – 63 mm | yes, in selected sizes | large area – suitable for lettering or a company name |
| With logo KL | 7 – 48 mm, in selected sizes | yes – this is the purpose of the series | KL-10 raised logo or lettering, KL-20 raised pattern |
| Mesh KM | 8.3 – 18.75 mm | no | functional ventilation eyelet |
| Oval KO | 11 – 37 mm | no | for tapes and belts |
| Shaped KF | on inquiry | no | the shape itself is the distinctive detail |
Exactly which sizes of the KS, KP and KT series can be made with a logo we confirm on inquiry – it depends on the size and the complexity of the logo.
KL series – eyelets with a logo
KL-10: raised logo or lettering
KL-10 is an eyelet with the logo or lettering raised all around the flange. It is suitable for the brand name, a short slogan or a monogram repeated around the circumference. It is offered in a finish of your choice – gold, black nickel colour, copper, nickel colour and others from the finish chart.
KL-20: raised pattern
KL-20 carries a pattern to your design – zigzag, dots, geometric motifs. The pattern is particularly striking in antique finishes, where the recesses darken and the relief stands out. It is a good solution for brands that want a recognisable detail without a written name.
How much room there is for the logo
The logo sits on the flange – the ring between the inner hole and the outer edge. Its width is approximately (D − d) / 2. Here are some examples calculated from the catalogue dimensions:
| Code | D, mm | d, mm | Flange width, approx. mm | Suitable logo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KS-01 | 7 | 3.6 | 1.7 | pattern, dots, a very short mark |
| KS-12 | 15 | 7.68 | 3.7 | a short name in bold letters |
| KP-07 | 15 | 7.38 | 3.8 | a short name repeated around the circumference |
| KS-21 | 25 | 13 | 6 | brand name and mark |
| KS-27 | 46 | 27.7 | 9.2 | lettering and logo, more complex graphics |
| KT-01 | 62.2 | 39.6 | 11.3 | company name, phone, website |
The conclusion is clear: on small eyelets the logo must be simplified – a mark, initials or a pattern. A full name in small letters only reads well on a flange several millimetres wide.
Where a logo eyelet has the greatest effect
A logo eyelet is a small detail, but it sits where the eye naturally goes. It works best where the eyelet is visible and touched often:
- sweatshirts and hoodies – the eyelets for the hood drawcord are right below the face;
- denim and jackets – eyelets on pockets, waistbands and cuffs, as a set with the buttons and rivets;
- shoes and trainers – the top lace eyelets, which are the most visible;
- bags and backpacks – eyelets for handles, straps and cords, often with a larger diameter and a wide flange;
- awnings, sunshades and tarpaulins – the No. 66 eyelets of the KT series, which have room for the company name.
For eyelets that stay under a hem or on the reverse side, a logo is rarely worth it – there it is more sensible to choose a standard eyelet in the same finish.
How to prepare the logo
- Vector file – AI, EPS, PDF or SVG. A raster image cannot be turned into good-quality relief.
- Simplified version – thin lines, small text and gradients get lost. Prepare a version with thicker lines.
- Text direction – decide whether the lettering follows the circumference or is horizontal, and how many times it is repeated.
- Finish – relief looks different in a polished and an antique finish. If you are not sure, ask for samples in two finishes.
- Set – consider putting the same logo on the snap buttons, rivets and buttons of the item, so that the metal accessories look like one whole.
If the chosen eyelet has no logo
If the item requires an oval, mesh or shaped eyelet, the brand can be present in another way:
- use a KL series logo eyelet in the same finish in a visible place, and the functional eyelets in a hidden one;
- choose a KF shaped eyelet with a form that hints at the brand – the shape itself becomes a recognisable mark;
- place the logo on an adjacent element – a metal plate, a buckle or a label.
