OEM eyewear buyer resources
Make the next
project decision clearer.
These practical guides help brands, distributors, importers, sourcing partners and private-label teams prepare a quotation brief, plan quantities, approve samples and coordinate eyewear with packaging.
Prepare the brief
OEM Eyewear RFQ Checklist
Use this before quotation. Prepare a clear OEM eyewear RFQ covering frame, lens, logo, quantity, packaging, target market, testing and approval requirements.
Output: A project brief that separates confirmed requirements from open questions.Open practical guide ↗02Plan styles and quantities
Eyewear MOQ Planning Guide
Use this while building the assortment. Plan eyewear styles, color splits, lenses and packaging around a standard MOQ of 500 pairs per style, with quantity negotiable by model.
Output: A style–color–lens quantity matrix that exposes feasibility questions.Open practical guide ↗03Approve development
Eyewear Sample Approval Guide
Use this when reviewing a physical sample. Use physical samples, written specifications and controlled revisions to approve custom eyewear before bulk production.
Output: A versioned sample review and production-approval record.Open practical guide ↗04Coordinate presentation
Eyewear & Packaging Coordination Guide
Use this when frames and packaging move together. Coordinate custom eyewear with cases, pouches, cloths and retail packaging through a shared specification and approval plan.

Four tasks.
One connected record.
Use measurable inputs
Style codes, dimensions, colors, lens combinations, artwork versions, quantities and authorized approvals are more useful than general instructions.
Keep commercial boundaries visible
Typical starting points are planning references. Final feasibility, costs, timing, testing and documentation apply only when written into the quotation or agreement.
Protect project rights and data
Submit only designs and customer information you are authorized to share. An enquiry does not create confidentiality, exclusivity or third-party referral rights.
Planning references
Useful numbers,
with their conditions.
- MOQ
- Standard MOQ is 500 pairs per style in total; exact quantities can be discussed for the model and specification. Injection-moulded eyewear requires 1,000 pairs per style. Colors may be combined, subject to design, materials, lenses, components and packaging requirements.
- Sampling
- Typically 7–10 working days with existing tooling after specifications and sample requirements are confirmed. New-tooling development is a separate stage.
- Production
- Around 25 working days after sample approval and order details are confirmed. Transit, customs and final delivery are separate.
- Evidence
- Performance, testing, documentation and destination-market requirements are confirmed for the final product and project.

Confirm the manufacturing route before planning quantities and dates
Standard MOQ is 500 pairs per style in total, with exact quantity negotiable by model and specification. Injection-moulded eyewear requires 1,000 pairs per style. Color allocation and any material or component minimums are confirmed for the project.
Samples using existing tooling normally cost USD 50–200. A new design requires a separate tooling fee in addition to the sample charge. Tooling development takes 20–25 calendar days from drawing approval, including detail refinement; this is separate from sampling, bulk production and transit.
Tooling fees can be credited against a bulk order under agreed terms. The amount and return or credit method are agreed for the project. Any sample-fee credit is agreed separately, not automatically refunded.
