Professional Flag Grommet Manufacturing Process

Our ISO 9001 certified manufacturing process ensures every metal flag grommet meets strict quality standards. From raw material inspection to final quality testing, we maintain precision at every step to deliver professional-grade grommets for custom flags.

1
Raw material inspection - Quality control technician testing brass and stainless steel sheets with precision measuring tools ensuring material thickness and composition meet flag grommet manufacturing standards

Raw Material Quality Inspection

Every brass and stainless steel sheet undergoes rigorous testing before processing. We verify material composition, thickness accuracy, and surface quality to ensure premium grommet performance.

2
Precision stamping - Industrial high-pressure stamping machine with hardened steel molds producing perfectly shaped thick brass and stainless steel grommets with consistent 2.5mm-3.0mm wall thickness for custom flags

High-Pressure Precision Stamping

Industrial stamping machines with hardened steel molds create perfectly shaped grommets. Precision calibration ensures consistent wall thickness and dimensional accuracy for reliable flag grommet installation.

3
Edge polishing - Automated polishing equipment removing burrs and sharp edges from flag grommets to prevent flag fabric tears, creating smooth contact surfaces for extended custom flag lifespan

Professional Edge Polishing

Automated polishing removes all burrs and sharp edges that could damage flag fabric. This critical step prevents premature tearing and extends the lifespan of your custom flags and banners.

4
Surface treatment - Electroplating brass grommets with triple-layer anti-corrosion coating and mirror-polishing 316 stainless steel grommets for UV protection and oxidation resistance in outdoor flag applications
Advanced Surface Treatment

Brass grommets receive triple-layer electroplating for waterproof protection. Stainless steel grommets get mirror-polished for enhanced corrosion resistance and UV protection in outdoor environments.

5
Quality spot check - Laboratory technician performing load bearing tests, diameter measurements, and finish inspections on random flag grommet samples ensuring ISO 9001 quality standards compliance before shipping to customers
Comprehensive Quality Testing

Random samples undergo load-bearing tests, dimensional verification, and surface finish inspection. Only grommets meeting our ISO 9001 standards proceed to packaging and shipping.

Professional Flag Grommet Installation Guide

Learn how to install metal flag grommets correctly for maximum durability. This step-by-step guide works for both brass and stainless steel grommets on custom flags, banners, and outdoor advertising applications. Installation takes approximately 3 minutes per grommet.

1
Step 1 - Precise hole punching: Using professional grommet punch tool to create clean hole at marked position on flag fabric, ensuring accurate diameter and preventing uneven stress distribution for custom flag durability

Precise Hole Punching

Use a professional punch tool to create a clean, perfectly round hole at the marked position on your custom flag fabric. Precision prevents uneven stress distribution and fabric tearing during outdoor use.

2
Step 2 - Insert grommet base: Pushing brass or stainless steel grommet base through punched hole from front side of flag fabric, ensuring flush contact without wiggle room for secure custom flag installation

Insert Flag Grommet Base

Push the metal grommet base through the hole from the front side of your custom flag. The grommet should sit completely flush against the fabric surface with zero movement.

3
Step 3 - Add washer ring: Placing metal washer ring on back side of flag fabric over grommet base to distribute load evenly and prevent pull-through during high wind conditions on outdoor custom flags

Add Metal Washer Ring

Place the metal washer ring on the back side of the flag fabric over the grommet base. This critical component distributes wind load evenly and prevents pull-through on outdoor custom flags.

4
Step 4 - Press with tool: Using industrial grommet press tool to compress grommet base and washer ring together with firm pressure, creating secure mechanical bond rated for 50-80kg load capacity on custom flags
Press with Grommet Tool

Use a professional grommet press tool to firmly compress the base and washer ring together. Apply steady pressure until you hear an audible click—this confirms secure mechanical bonding.

5
Step 5 - Quality check: Testing installed flag grommet by tugging to verify it doesn't move, spin, or feel loose, ensuring proper installation before custom flag deployment in outdoor conditions
Installation Quality Check

Perform a tug test on the installed grommet. It should not move, spin, or feel loose. If any movement is detected, reinstall the grommet to ensure your custom flag will withstand outdoor conditions.
