Translate a product direction into optical frames, sunglasses, fashion glasses, sport eyewear or safety eyewear with material, color, lens and packaging decisions documented.
For brand owners and buying teams
Eyewear OEM/ODM manufacturing for international brand collections.
Sun Shing Optical is an eyewear OEM/ODM manufacturer and eyewear factory in Xiamen, China for overseas brands, private labels, importers and retail programs. We support the work between a product brief and repeat production: development, sampling, tooling, manufacturing, inspection and shipment coordination.
For established and growing eyewear, fashion, sports and outdoor brands planning small-batch launches, custom collections and repeat production. Suitable OEM/ODM projects can start from 200 pieces per style, with quantities and color splits confirmed against the design, materials, lenses, packaging and tooling. Available capacity, testing scope and delivery dates are confirmed for each project.
What brand teams need
A factory partner that can carry a collection from brief to shipment.
Brand buyers compare more than unit price. They need reliable development communication, repeatable quality, clear capacity and a process that can support the next season.
Production control
Injection, finishing, assembly and factory-side coordination are managed through one production team for OEM, ODM and private-label programs.
Repeat-order readiness
Use agreed specifications, inspection checkpoints and shipment planning to make follow-up orders easier to compare and approve.
Buyer fit
Built for sourcing managers, category managers and purchasing teams.
A defined market and a collection brief matter more than brand size. Small-batch launches can test a new style or market before repeat orders; quantities and specifications require project confirmation. This is a production service rather than one-piece retail.

Before supplier approval
OEM/ODM eyewear sourcing questions for brand teams
Should a brand choose OEM or ODM eyewear manufacturing?
OEM typically starts with the buyer's design and specifications; ODM typically starts with a manufacturer's design platform adapted for the brand. Sun Shing Optical supports both routes in Xiamen, China. Before sampling, agree on design ownership, tooling costs, permitted modifications and any exclusivity in writing. Review the eyewear OEM/ODM sourcing guide to prepare your brief.
How can a brand choose an eyewear OEM/ODM manufacturer in China?
Compare the manufacturer's development process, product categories, sampling and tooling workflow, production MOQ, inspection checkpoints, communication and repeat-order planning. Sun Shing Optical is an eyewear OEM/ODM manufacturer in Xiamen for overseas brand owners, private-label programs, importers and companies adding eyewear to an existing product range.
What should buyers specify to an OEM sunglasses manufacturer in China?
For custom sunglasses manufacturing, send the intended market, frame direction, lens requirements, colors, branding and packaging specifications. Sun Shing Optical supports private label sunglasses and sports sunglasses OEM programs in Xiamen. Ask for model-specific options, samples and a quotation; material availability, testing scope and delivery dates must be confirmed for the selected project.
How can a purchasing team verify an eyewear factory in China?
Check the supplier's legal entity and production address, review the factory process and facility photos, and arrange a factory visit or live production review. Request sample evaluation criteria, inspection records and applicable test reports for the exact product and destination market. A company profile or certification logo alone does not establish that a particular model meets your requirements.
What information is needed for a seasonal collection or repeat-order quotation?
Provide quantities per style and color, estimated annual demand, launch dates, replenishment schedule, target cost and destination markets. Identify who approves samples, packaging and inspection results. Sun Shing Optical focuses on production programs rather than one-piece retail or dropshipping. Use the brand RFQ checklist to discuss sampling, tooling, production MOQ and shipment planning separately.
For companies with an eyewear requirement
Your main business does not have to be eyewear.
Sports, outdoor, fashion, safety, promotional and retail companies can add an eyewear program when they need a reliable OEM/ODM production partner.
Sports and outdoor brands
Develop sport sunglasses, fishing sunglasses and performance eyewear as part of a seasonal equipment or apparel collection.
Fashion and lifestyle brands
Add optical frames, fashion glasses or sunglasses to a collection with coordinated colors, logo application, packaging and repeat production.
Safety and corporate programs
Source safety eyewear, promotional glasses or employee and customer programs with the required product, packaging and inspection brief.
The best fit is a company planning a collection, program or repeat order. A useful first RFQ includes the application, target market, estimated quantity, desired launch date and required product category.
Supplier qualification
Evaluate Sun Shing Optical for your next eyewear production program.
For eyewear, apparel, outdoor and lifestyle brand teams, supplier approval should connect the product brief to evidence for the exact model and destination market.
Start with the manufacturing scope
Review our factory information and production photos and company profile. In your RFQ, identify the processes you need and ask which operations are performed in-house and which require specialist suppliers. Confirm the legal entity and production location before supplier approval.
Separate sample approval from production approval
Specify quantities per style and color, target markets, launch date and estimated annual demand. Agree on frame dimensions, material, lens specification, logo application and packaging before approving samples. Confirm tooling ownership and any exclusivity in writing; a sample quotation is not a confirmed production schedule.
Request evidence for the selected product
Ask which test reports and inspection records can be supplied for the selected model and destination market. Define acceptance criteria for appearance, dimensions, assembly and lens requirements. A general company certificate does not establish compliance for every product.
Plan the collection and replenishment together
Share your initial order forecast and likely replenishment schedule. Ask for project-specific MOQ, sampling costs, tooling costs, production lead time and packing terms, and confirm how approved specifications will be retained for repeat orders. Prepare a production RFQ with the information your purchasing team needs to compare suppliers.
Adding eyewear to an established brand?
Your company does not need to specialize in eyewear. Describe how sunglasses or optical frames will fit your apparel, outdoor, sports or lifestyle range, the intended users and sales markets. Send reference images and your branding brief so that the proposed development route can be reviewed against your collection requirements.
We focus on made-to-order OEM/ODM manufacturing and repeat production programs, rather than ready-stock or clearance purchases. Discuss your production brief or email sean_wu@sunshingoptical.com.
