PC Oversized Sunglasses with Metal Hinge

A PC oversized sunglass front with a riveted metal hinge, built for men's ranges where a wide eye shape has to hold its line on a shelf and on the face.

Overview

This sunglass front is moulded from PC, a material chosen for impact resistance rather than for cost alone: it takes a thick rim and a large eye shape without becoming brittle, which is what an oversized silhouette requires. The lens is {lens}, set into a frame that keeps its shape on the shelf and on the face. The hinge is riveted into the front instead of moulded in, because an oversized temple produces leverage that a living hinge cannot survive.

Oversized shapes put leverage on the hinge, so the hinge here is metal and riveted into the front rather than moulded as a living hinge. The frame is checked for level on a flat plate before packing, since an oversized front shows a bent temple immediately when it is placed on a counter. The frame is built for retail display as much as for wear: colour is set in the material, the lens is fitted at production, and the temple carries the small branding details that make a fashion sunglass read as a finished product rather than a component.

Key Features

Product Showcase

Views show the SP508034 sample and, where noted, a sister model from the same range, so the hinge position and temple profile can be compared before a sample is ordered.

Specifications

The values above come from the current specification sheet for this model. A size marked as fixed by the mould cannot be changed without new tooling, while colour, logo, lens and packing remain adjustable within the stated minimum.

OEM & ODM Customization

PC oversized sunglasses put leverage on the joint, so the metal hinge is riveted into the front rather than moulded in. The oversized sunglasses front is checked for level on a flat plate, the sunglasses with metal hinge are cycled before packing, and the sunglasses are lens-fitted at production.

Sunwear projects are usually driven by a look rather than by a specification, so the sample stage is about matching a reference image to something that can actually be moulded and packed. The variables that change cost most are lens specification, hinge grade and decoration, and each is quoted separately so a buyer can trade between them without reopening the shape.

• Shape: existing moulds can be re-coloured and re-lensed; a new silhouette needs a drawing and a tooling quotation.
• Lens: tinted, gradient, mirrored and polarized options are quoted by specification, with UV performance stated on the lens sheet.
• Decoration: rhinestone, metal plaque, printed temple and two-tone moulding are priced separately so the look can be tuned to a target cost.
• Hinge: metal and spring hinges are available, and the hinge grade is recorded on the specification for reorders.
• Logo: lens corner print, temple hot stamp and metal plaque options, each with a proof before production.
• Packaging: hard case, soft pouch, cleaning cloth and a retail sleeve can be packed per unit, with carton marks per colour.

Buyers who want the wider picture can review the OEM and ODM optical frames programme, which explains how tooling, sampling and documentation are handled across models.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

Production is organised around four checkpoints, and a frame cannot move to the next stage until the previous one is signed off. The process below is the same for a sample order and for a repeat run.

Inspection records are kept against the model number, so a question raised months after shipment can be traced back to the batch, the operator and the material lot. The full procedure is described under quality control.

Applications

FAQ

What is the MOQ for a custom logo?

MOQ is 2 pieces for this model, which is set to allow a low-risk trial of a new shape. Logo and lens options are quoted against that quantity, and per-colour minimums are confirmed at quotation stage.

Can the lens be polarized or mirrored?

Yes, tinted, gradient, mirrored and polarized lenses can be quoted on the same front. The lens specification, including UV performance, is stated on the quotation so the retail claim is supported by the document.

Is a case included?

A hard case, soft pouch or printed sleeve can be packed per unit, and the case is sized to the frame rather than bought as a generic item. Packaging is quoted separately so the unit cost stays visible.
