Is it advisable to use a manual tabletop eyelet machine to put eyelets in canvas?

The manual tabletop grommet machine has become an essential tool for workshops and artisans who need to place grommets precisely on materials like tarpaulins. At JOPEVI, we manufacture these machines with versatility and ease of use in mind, but are they really the best option for advertising banners, awnings, or industrial covers? We explain it step by step so you can make the right decision.

JOPEVI Manual Tabletop Grommet Machine: Your Perfect Ally for Tarpaulins?

The JOPEVI manual tabletop grommet machine stands out for its compact and robust design, ideal for small spaces such as small workshops or finishing tables. These manual machines punch and secure metal or plastic grommets in tarpaulins with a simple lever action, offering complete control over each operation.

They are especially recommended for low to medium volume tarpaulins, where precision is more important than speed. For example, in advertising signage or small banner production, their ease of use prevents deformation of flexible materials like foamed PVC or textile tarpaulins. No electricity is required, making them perfect for mobile work or environments without fixed connections.

However, keep in mind their limitations:

• Limited production: For large batches (more than 50-100 grommets per day), manual effort can be tiring.
• Medium thicknesses: Works best on tarpaulins up to 5-8 mm; for thicker materials, pre-punching is recommended.
• Manual precision: Excellent for artisans, but less consistent in long production runs.

In summary, it is recommended if you are looking for economy and precision in small batches, but evaluate your workload carefully.
