How to Source Optical Frames from a Manufacturer: From Quotation to Mass Production

Sourcing optical frames requires more than comparing catalogs and prices. Buyers should define the material, order type, quantity, customization and target market before requesting a quotation. They should also approve samples and confirm production, inspection and shipping requirements before mass production.

This guide explains the key steps when sourcing optical frames from JHEYEWEAR.

Define Your Optical Frame Requirements

A useful optical frame inquiry should include:

  • Target customers: adults, children, men, women or unisex

  • Preferred materials, models and colors

  • Total quantity and quantity per model

  • In-stock or OEM order

  • Logo and packaging requirements

  • Target market and delivery destination

JHEYEWEAR supplies PC, TR90, metal, acetate and titanium optical frames, including combination-material designs. Buyers may select in-stock products or develop an OEM collection.

Choose Between In-Stock and OEM Optical Frames

In-stock frames are suitable for buyers who want to select from available designs. Different available models and colors may be combined, and customers can add their own logo.

OEM orders are intended for projects requiring specific designs, materials, colors or structures. JHEYEWEAR can assist with reference-image development, 2D drawings, 3D models, visual renderings and new molds. An NDA can be signed when required, while exclusive design and mold arrangements can be agreed for individual projects.

Check the MOQ Before Requesting a Quote

JHEYEWEAR’s optical frame MOQ depends on the order type and material.

Order typeStarting MOQ

For in-stock orders, buyers may combine multiple available models and colors to reach 300 pieces.

Custom packaging usually starts at 300 pieces, although certain specifications may require 1,000 pieces. New mold projects follow the applicable material-based OEM MOQ.

JHEYEWEAR supports frame, demo-lens, hangtag, sticker, instruction-material and packaging customization. Logo placement and production methods are confirmed according to the design and frame construction.

Approve Samples Before Production

Depending on the project, buyers may request:

  • Existing product samples

  • Logo samples

  • Color samples

  • Pre-production samples

  • Packaging samples

Sample charges may be credited toward a formal order when the agreed conditions are met.

Before approval, check the material, dimensions, color, hinges, surface finish, logo, demo lenses and packaging. Samples may be approved through physical review, photographs, video or agreed documents. The approved sample and specifications then serve as references for mass production.

Confirm Production and Inspection

Regular production lead time is generally 30–45 days after sample approval. New mold development time is calculated separately.

JHEYEWEAR completes its eyewear production processes within its own factory. Buyers may arrange an on-site visit, remote factory audit or third-party inspection.

If a confirmed manufacturing defect is attributable to JHEYEWEAR, the affected quantity may be refunded or reproduced and reshipped according to the verified issue and agreed resolution.

Confirm Packaging, Compliance and Shipping

Standard packaging includes complimentary OPP bags and the applicable paper boxes or export cartons. Eyewear cases are available as separately purchased accessories.

JHEYEWEAR maintains CE, FDA, ISO 9001, BSCI, SEDEX and GRS-related documentation. Applicable compliance documents can be prepared according to the product and destination market and should be confirmed before ordering.

Common international trade terms, including DDP, are available. JHEYEWEAR can also provide a shipping quotation based on the order quantity and destination.

Final Sourcing Checklist

Before placing an order, confirm:

  • Material, models and colors

  • Stock or OEM order

  • Applicable MOQ

  • Logo and packaging

  • Approved sample

  • Production schedule

  • Inspection method

  • Compliance documents

  • Shipping term and destination

Providing this information at the beginning helps the manufacturer prepare an accurate quotation and reduces changes after sample approval.
