Grommets for 4mm coroplast

[donkur]

Grommets are always a challenge. I have a few different grommet machines, one is a number one and another one is a number two. I have some grommets that have a 3/16 inch flute and other grommets that have a 3/8 inch flute. Problem is, is that I need some type of Grommet that has a quarter inch flute or roughly around 6 mm. I cannot find a thing. There is a Grommet available for the number one Grommet machine however, the inner diameter of the hole is only 6 mm. That's almost more of an eyelet than a Grommet. What does everyone else do? I have been using the 3/16 inch flute Grommet which, does squish the coroplast a bit. Hoping someone can help me out? I have a sample sign from a supplier and these ones are nice but I have no idea where or who did these.

We grommet 10mm Coro at FireSprint.com using hiker grommets. You might check with hiker.

Yep, same. And for thick substrates, I just use the manual press instead of the hydraulic. Just need the grommets to grab -- not crush.

We use standard #2 grommets all the time on coroplast. Our press has a stop we can adjust so it doesn't crush the coroplast.

Maybe I will keep using the 3/16 inch grommets that I have been using and just not pushes hard because it seems the quarter inch grommets are just not available. I generally push a little bit harder just to make sure that they catch really well and don't come apart. Thanks.

Awesome. I like that idea.

Have you checked w/ Express Sign Products? https://expresssignproducts.com/en/search?controller=search&s=grommet
They've got lots of different flavors (free shipping day today too!)

I can't recall which version we use for coroplast but we've got some for 4mm and 10mm.

I get a lot of my stuff from them and that is where I get my grommets and they don't seem to have anything between 3/16 of an inch and 3/8 of an inch.
