A Sunglasses Factory
That's Straightforward to Work With

Most buyers who find us have already worked with at least one factory that didn't work out. The samples looked great, the bulk order didn't match, or the factory went dark after the deposit landed. We hear this constantly. It's part of why we run things the way we do.

Our sunglasses production line covers custom OEM work, private label projects, and wholesale supply — all under one roof. Lens coating is in-house, which is not as common as factories claim. When it's genuinely in-house, you lose 5–8 days from the lead time and one variable for defect risk.

We work with brands that are launching their first product and distributors who've been buying 200,000 pairs a year for a decade. The process is the same either way. The only thing that changes is the scale.

Sample matches bulk production

We use the same materials, same tooling, same coating process for samples and bulk. What you approve is what ships.

Problems flagged early

If something looks off during production — material batch, coating color drift, hinge fit — we stop and tell you. Not after bulk is done.

Lead times in writing

We confirm dates before production starts, update you at each stage, and don't push dates quietly. You'll always know where your order stands.

What We Actually Do
in This Factory

Six main capabilities. Each one is done on-site — not contracted out to another supplier down the road. That's what factory direct actually means.

OEM Manufacturing

You provide the spec — frame shape, lens type, color, hinge style, logo placement. We build it. Full OEM process from pre-production sample through approved bulk run. Works for brands with finished tech packs or rough references.

ODM Development process of sunglasses factory

ODM Development

Don’t have a design yet? Our product development team works with buyers to create frames from scratch — frame silhouette, hinge design, lens geometry. We own the tooling; you own the finished product once the project completes.

Private Label service from sunglasses manufacturer

Private Label

Pick from our existing frame library, put your logo on it, choose your colors and packaging. This is the fastest way to launch a sunglass brand. Sampling in 7 days, bulk in 30. Lower tooling costs because the mold already exists.

Private Label →

Wholesale Supply from Chinese sunglasses manufacturer

Wholesale Supply

Factory-direct wholesale for retailers, distributors, and promotional merchandise companies. We keep popular styles in running stock. Mixed-model orders accepted — you don’t have to hit MOQ per SKU individually.

Polarized Lenses of sunglasses material

Polarized Lenses

Polarized is our most-requested lens upgrade. We use TAC polarized film and CR-39 polarized substrate depending on the application. All polarized orders are tested for polarization efficiency before assembly. Not just labeled — actually verified.

Custom Logo Printing

Temple engraving, UV printing, debossing, silk screen on lenses, metal badge application. We do the file prep in-house. Send your brand guidelines — AI, PDF, or even a high-res PNG — and we’ll set up the artwork and send a proof before bulk.

What We Manufacture

Each product type below has its own production notes — lens geometry tolerances, frame thickness specs, coating compatibility. Click through to see what's involved for each category.

Your Spec.
Our Production Floor.

Some buyers send a 12-page tech pack. Others send a photo of a frame they like and a Pantone number. Both work. We've built custom sunglasses programs for brands at every stage — from a founder ordering their first 300 pairs to established labels running seasonal campaigns of 80,000 units.

  • Frame shape customization — new mold development or modification of existing tooling for minor adjustments
  • Lens tint & coating — smoke, brown, green, blue mirror, gold flash, gradient; custom Pantone matching available
  • Frame material & color — acetate, TR90, metal; custom injection colors and hand-finished acetate patterns
  • Logo application — temple engraving, UV print, debossing, metal badge; we handle the artwork setup
  • Packaging — branded hard case, microfiber pouch, retail hang-tag box, shipper carton with your label
  • Eco options — bio-acetate and recycled TR90 available for sustainability-focused product lines

How custom projects usually go

You send a brief or reference. We ask the questions that would come up later anyway — lens type, hinge preference, temple length, logo position. We build a sample. You review it. If it's right, we lock the spec and move to bulk. If something's off, we fix it before you've committed to 5,000 pairs.

Most new custom programs take 3–5 weeks from first contact to approved sample. Bulk follows in 30–45 days after approval.

Discuss Your Project

Factory Direct.
No Middlemen.

When you buy wholesale directly from the factory, the price reflects actual production cost — not production cost plus a trading company's 20–30% margin. That gap shows up in your landed cost calculation and your retail margin.

We supply chain retailers, optical shops, promo merchandise companies, online sellers, and regional distributors. They're buying anywhere from 500 pairs to 50,000. Some do one container a year; some order every six weeks. The pricing structure adjusts to volume, not to how persistent the buyer is.

Mixed-model wholesale is how most of our regular buyers operate — multiple styles in a single shipment, each at its own MOQ. You're not stuck waiting until you need 500 of the same frame to place an order.

  • Minimum 300 pairs per model (existing tooling)
  • Mixed-model orders in one shipment
  • In-stock styles available for fast dispatch
  • Retail-ready packaging standard
  • FOB Shenzhen / CIF destination
  • Export documentation included
  • Volume pricing at 1K / 5K / 10K+ tiers
  • Dedicated account contact for reorders

How We Make Sunglasses

People ask why our sampling takes 7–14 days when other factories promise 3. The short answer: 3-day samples skip the curing time on lens coating and skip the multi-cycle hinge fatigue test. We’d rather give you a sample that represents what the actual product will be. See the full production overview →

china sunglasses Manufacturing Process
STEP 01

Material Intake

Acetate sheets, TR90 pellets, metal wire, and lens substrate checked against spec on arrival. Rejected batches don't enter production.

STEP 02

Frame Production

TR90 and PC: injection molded in our own tooling. Acetate: CNC milled, tumbled, hand-polished. Metal: stamped, shaped, assembled.

STEP 03

Lens Cutting & Coating

Lenses cut to frame spec, then coated in-house. UV400, AR, mirror, polarized, photochromic. Coating cure time is respected — not rushed.

STEP 04

Assembly

Frame and lens joined. Hinges fitted. Temple screws torqued to spec. Logo applied at this stage for UV print; engraving done pre-assembly.

STEP 05

QC Inspection

UV400 verification, polarization test (where applicable), hinge cycle test, lens clarity check, frame geometry against approved sample.

STEP 06

Packing & Export

Packed to your spec — individual box, case, pouch, shipper carton. Export docs prepared. Shipped with tracking handed to your forwarder or ours.

QC That Runs
Through the Whole Process

End-of-line inspection only catches problems after you've already made them. Our QC runs from material intake to carton seal. If something fails mid-production — a coating batch, a frame batch — we stop, document it, and contact the buyer before proceeding. That's not standard in this industry, but it's how we operate. Read more about our quality control process →

UV400 Spectrometry

Every lens batch tested against UV transmission spec. Not sampled — every batch. Results documented with each order.

Polarization Efficiency Test

Polarized orders checked using a polarization analyzer. We test for cross-axis light leakage, not just label compliance.

Hinge Durability Cycling

Hinges opened and closed through 500+ cycles on a test rig. Spring hinges and standard barrel hinges tested separately.

Lens Clarity & Coating

Coated lenses inspected under controlled lighting for bubbles, orange peel, delamination, and coating uniformity.

Frame Geometry Check

Temple alignment, lens tilt, bridge width measured against approved sample. Asymmetry tolerance is ±0.5mm.

Certifications & Standards

We provide test reports with every shipment. Certifications vary by product — tell us your target market and we'll confirm which standards apply before you order.

UV400 CE EN ISO 12312-1 ANSI Z80.3 FDA 21 CFR 801 AS/NZS 1067

Factory audit reports available for brand buyers. We support third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek) at buyer's request.

FAQ — Sunglasses Manufacturing

300 pairs per model is the usual floor for OEM with new tooling. If the frame uses molds we already have, we can often go lower — 100–150 pairs depending on the style. First-time buyers ask this a lot. Tell us which frame you're looking at and we'll give you a number.
Yes — full OEM from design brief through bulk shipment. You send the spec (or we develop it with you), we build a pre-production sample for approval, you sign off, we run the bulk order. OEM is probably 60% of what we do. We've built programs for startups with a single SKU and for distributors running 20+ styles per season.
Yes. Temple engraving is the most common method — clean, durable, doesn't fade. UV printing gives you more color options. Debossing works well on soft rubber elements. Metal badge is popular on premium frames. We do the artwork setup in-house and send a print proof for approval before bulk. Send us your logo file in any format and we'll work from there.
Polarized is one of our most common lens requests. We use TAC polarized film (standard, lower cost) and CR-39 polarized substrate (better optical clarity, higher cost) depending on the frame and price point. All polarized orders are tested with a polarization analyzer before they leave the factory — not just labeled, actually measured.
UV400 is standard on all our lenses. For European market compliance, we support CE EN ISO 12312-1. For the US market, ANSI Z80.3 compliant lenses are available. Australia/New Zealand buyers should ask about AS/NZS 1067. We provide test reports with every shipment. Not every model carries every cert — tell us your target market upfront and we'll confirm before you commit to tooling.
Sampling: 7–14 days for most styles. Bulk production: 30–45 days after sample approval, for orders under 20,000 pairs. Larger runs or new tooling development add time. We put lead times in writing at the start of every project. If something pushes the date during production, we tell you — we don't push quietly and hope you don't notice.
Yes. North America, Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America — we've shipped to all of them. FOB Shenzhen is standard; CIF and DDP available depending on your freight setup. If you have a forwarder, we hand off to them at port. If you need one, we can refer a few who know our operation.
