What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom sunglasses?
The MOQ depends on the type of products. For most custom sports sunglasses, the MOQ is typically 300 per color per style.
How much does it cost to manufacture custom sunglasses?
The cost depends on materials, lens type, coatings, tooling, and order volume. Entry-level designs have lower costs, while fully customized sports eyewear with new molds and advanced lenses requires higher initial investment.
How long does it take to develop a new sunglasses design?
Development ranges significantly depending on product complexity. It can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, from initial designs to handmade prototypes to 3-D designs to rapid prototypes. A general rule of thumb is that it takes about 2 months for full development of a design.
Do you offer private label sunglasses manufacturing?
Yes, we provide private label services, including logo application, packaging customization, and brand-specific design adjustments.
Can you develop sunglasses based on our design or concept?
Yes, we support full custom development based on sketches, technical drawings, or reference samples. Our engineering team assists with design optimization, material selection, and production feasibility.
What is the difference between OEM and custom sunglasses manufacturing?
OEM sunglasses manufacturing typically involves producing existing designs with brand customization such as logos and colors. Custom development involves creating a completely new product from concept, including new molds, frame structures, and lens configurations.
What factors affect the cost of sunglasses manufacturing?
Key factors include frame material, lens material, coatings, mold complexity, branding requirements, packaging, and order quantity.
Do I need to pay for mold tooling for custom sunglasses?
Yes, new designs typically require dedicated mold tooling. Tooling costs vary depending on frame complexity and construction.
Who owns the mold after development?
In most cases, the mold belongs to the customer after full payment. Specific terms can be confirmed per project.
What is the typical process for starting a new project?
The process usually includes consultation on the design, sample development, quotation, testing, and mass production.
