South Korea project route

Eyewear manufacturing for South Korean brands.

XH Glasses supports South Korean brands, importers, distributors and private-label teams developing coordinated acetate and metal eyewear collections. Applicable Korean safety, labeling, importer and user-group requirements are confirmed for the final product rather than assumed from a website image.

Project-specific review

Destination-market requirements depend on the final product, intended use, user group, materials, claims and economic operators. Testing, documentation, marking and labeling requirements are reviewed and agreed for each project before production. This page does not represent that an unconfirmed product is certified or approved for a particular market.

Who we support

Built for B2B product teams.

Market-specific review

Plan the collection without losing specification control.

01

Color planning begins early

One style may be developed in several colors, but the proposed split must be checked against material, lens, component, logo and production minimums.

02

Branding is sampled

Silk-screen printing, laser marking and custom metal decorations are reviewed against the actual material, surface, placement, artwork and attachment method.

03

Adult and children’s routes can differ

The intended user group should be stated before sampling because safety, labeling or market requirements may depend on age group and product type.

04

KC claims are never assumed

We do not claim that every eyewear product needs, has or is covered by KC certification. The responsible parties must identify the route for the final item.

What XH handles

From approved brief to export coordination.

Product scope

Acetate sunglasses and optical frames are the main development direction. Metal sunglasses and metal optical frames can also be reviewed. Optical frames are supplied with non-prescription demo lenses only.

Frame geometry, colors, lens appearance, UV400 as a project requirement, logo application and packaging can be coordinated subject to feasibility, sample approval and applicable testing.

Workflow

  1. Enquiry and destination brief
  2. Feasibility and specification review
  3. Quotation and sample definition
  4. Sample development and buyer approval
  5. Bulk production against agreed references
  6. Inspection, documentation and export coordination

Target-market review

Evidence belongs to the final product.

No universal South Korean compliance or certification claim is made on this site. Product category, intended use, user group, claims, labeling and importer responsibilities must be confirmed for the approved final product. If testing, market-specific labels or supporting documents are needed, provide the requirements before quotation so feasibility, samples, laboratory arrangements, report scope, cost and additional lead time can be agreed. A selected target market in the enquiry form is an internal routing aid only; it does not automatically determine compliance or share the enquiry with any third party.

Market FAQ

Direct answers before you enquire.

Can one style be developed in several fashion colors?+

Potentially. Typical MOQ starts from 300 pairs per style in total, with colors combined, but the feasible split must be checked against material and production minimums.

Are UV400 lenses standard on every sunglass model?+

No general claim is made. UV400 can be specified as an order requirement and must be confirmed for the selected lens and final project configuration.

Are products automatically certified for South Korea?+

No. Applicable Korean safety, labeling, importer and, where relevant, user-group requirements must be confirmed for the final product.

Can you coordinate frames and packaging?+

Yes. Cases, pouches, cloths and retail packaging can be discussed and quoted separately. Each packaging item may have its own MOQ and timing.
