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.
What is the typical production lead time for sunglasses?
Production lead time typically ranges from 60 to 90 days depending on order quantity, product complexity, and material availability.
Where are your eyewear manufacturing facilities located?
Our production facilities are based in Asia, including China and Vietnam, allowing us to offer flexible production capacity, competitive pricing, and reliable lead times.
