Transfer / Eyelet Press Stamping
Why choose transfer or eyelet press stamping?
When part geometry is axis asymmetrical, draw depth is within practical limits, and higher material utilization can be achieved, transfer / eyelet press stamping provides an effective and flexible forming approach.
This method means individual blanks are separated early and mechanically transferred from station to station, allowing for better material utilization.
At PRESCO, transfer / eyelet press stamping is used as part of a broader deep drawn stamping strategy, ensuring the right tooling method is applied based on the specific demands of the part, not just the process.
The Benefits of Transfer or Eyelet Press Stamping
Transfer / eyelet press stamping is ideal when deep drawn parts are required and the part design allows use of this specialized forming equipment By separating the part early and optimizing each forming stage, this method supports reliable production of complex components at scale. Key advantages include:
- Improved material utilization by reducing scrap
- Equipment that is specific to the production of draw drawn with a lower initial tooling investment
- Highly flexible forming operations, including beading, side piercing, coning, and more
- Improved part integrity for demanding applications
- Consistent, repeatable results across long production runs
INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS
Parts produced via Transfer/ Eyelet press are used in many industries. Here are some practical ways we see Transfer/Eyelet press stamping improve our world every day:
Power Tools
Air / Fuid Transfer

Aerospace
Is Transfer / Eyelet Press Stamping Right for You?
Choosing transfer press stamping depends on part design, material, and production goals. Transfer / eyelet press stamping is typically the best fit when deeper draws, complex geometries, or thicker materials require greater control during forming.
