For eyewear, fashion, apparel, sports, outdoor and lifestyle brands planning made-to-order production and replenishment.

Production brief

Include these details in your manufacturing enquiry.

If a detail is undecided, mark it as preliminary. Clear assumptions help both teams identify the development work and evidence needed before a production quotation.

1. Company and collectionCompany or brand name and website, purchasing contact, intended wearer, product category, sales channels and destination markets.

2. Design and specificationsDrawings or reference samples, dimensions, frame materials, lenses, colors, logo application and packaging. State whether you need OEM production of your design or ODM development support.

3. Quantities and replenishmentNumber of styles and colors, units per style and color, launch order range and expected repeat demand. Identify any quantity split that still needs factory review.

4. Samples and approvalsSample purpose, required approval stages, target review dates, design rights and tooling ownership. Identify who can approve specification changes.

5. Quality and market requirementsApplicable product requirements, testing scope, labeling, inspection acceptance criteria and required documents. Agree on the evidence needed for the proposed model and market.

6. Commercial and delivery scopeTarget price range with currency and assumptions, packaging scope, target launch and delivery dates, delivery terms and named place. Request confirmation of feasibility and unresolved costs.

Questions before sending a production RFQ.

What information should a brand send for an eyewear production quotation?

Send your company or brand website, product category, drawings or reference samples, frame and lens requirements, colors, branding and packaging. Include destination markets, quantities per style and color, target launch date and expected repeat demand. Mark any undecided specifications so the factory can identify what must be resolved before quoting.

Can we request a quotation before quantities or specifications are final?

Yes. State which details are preliminary and provide a quantity range if available. Ask the factory to review feasibility and identify the information still needed. MOQ, tooling and development costs, sample timing and production lead time must be confirmed for the selected design and scope; an initial discussion is not a final production quotation.

Why does the factory need destination markets and testing requirements?

Destination markets, intended use and buyer requirements affect product specifications, testing, labeling and documentation. Define the applicable requirements and agree on the testing and inspection scope before production approval. Request evidence relevant to the proposed product rather than assuming a factory document covers every model or market.

What should purchasing teams agree on before releasing an order?

Record the approved specification and sample reference, quantities and color splits, tooling and design ownership, inspection acceptance criteria, packaging, payment and delivery terms, and the named delivery place. Agree on how changes will be approved and how repeat orders will be checked against the approved specification.

Can a fashion, sports or outdoor brand submit an eyewear RFQ?

Yes. Brands adding an eyewear collection can share their intended wearer, sales channels, product brief and collection schedule with Sun Shing Optical. This enquiry process is for custom manufacturing and repeat production, rather than ready-stock purchasing, single-piece retail or dropshipping.
