Half Frame Business Metal portable pen Eyeglasses Reading Glasses Frames for Men






A ready-to-wear reader for shelf and pharmacy display, built to be reordered rather than replaced.
Overview
A ready-to-wear reader with a moulded front and a hinge built for repeated folding. The front is made in metal; the lens specification is a reading lens whose power range is confirmed at quotation stage. Because the frame is worn for short bursts rather than all day, the priorities are different from an optical frame: the front has to sit lightly, the temple has to stay closed in a pocket, and the colour has to read as a gift rather than as a medical device. It is supplied for OEM and private-label programmes.
What a buyer receives is a frame that has been specified rather than assembled from stock parts: material, temple hardware and colour are fixed at sampling, and the production run repeats that specification. The half frame keeps the brow clear, which suits a business setting where a full rim reads too casual. The catalogue lists this model under five search terms: reading glasses frames, half frame, metal portable pen, for men and business metal. They cover platform, fit and frame family, and all five resolve to model RM868018, so a request placed under any of them reaches the same tooling and the same specification sheet.
Key Features
The four points below are the ones buyers usually test on a sample: material behaviour, fit geometry, optical performance and the customisation boundary.
Front Material and Finish
The metal front is drawn thin and then polished, so the rim reads light while still holding a lens under tension. Temple length is set by the tooling, which keeps the fold angle consistent from pair to pair, and the surface is plated before assembly so colour does not shift at the solder points.
Hinge, Temple and Pocket Fit
The front is light enough to sit on the nose without pressure points, and the temple folds flat enough to travel in a case or a pen-shaped holder. Both are checked on the sample before the run is released.
Lens and Reading Comfort
Power options are confirmed at quotation stage, because a reader is ordered by power mix rather than by a single number. The lens is fitted to the front geometry so the optical centre lands where the wearer actually looks.
Colour, Logo and Packing
Colour, logo and packing are fixed at sampling, which means the reorder repeats the approved version instead of re-interpreting it. The minimum order quantity is 1200pcs with 1colors, which is the point at which a colour run becomes practical.
Product Showcase
Photographs below are the approved sample set for model RM868018: front, angle, temple detail and colour reference. They are the images used for buyer approval, so a reorder is matched against the same reference.

OEM & ODM Customization
Customisation is handled at the tooling and sampling stage rather than at packing, because colour and geometry decisions made late are the ones that create a mismatch between the approved sample and the bulk. The list below is the working boundary for this model: anything inside it is quoted as a variant, anything outside it is quoted as a new development.
- Front colour matched to a Pantone or physical swatch before moulding, with a colour chip retained for the reorder.
- Logo applied by moulding, pad printing or laser marking, depending on where the mark sits and how the material takes ink.
- Lens specified at order: tint, coating and, where the brief calls for it, blue-light filtering.
- Temple length and tip curvature adjusted at sampling so the frame fits the target market rather than the sample head.
- Packing configured to the buyer brief: polybag, pouch, case, carton count and barcode label.
- Co-brand packing available, with the buyer brand and the factory mark carried on the same carton and pouch.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
Production runs through four checkpoints, and each one can stop a batch. The sequence is the same for a trial order and for a repeat run, so a buyer who approves a sample knows which checks the bulk will pass through.
1. Incoming Material Inspection
Every incoming lot is checked for colour, hardness and dimensional consistency against the approved sample. Metal parts are checked for plating thickness at the wear points, and any magnetic components are pull-tested before the batch moves to assembly.
2. Moulding and Frame Assembly
Front and temple come off the tool, are trimmed, then matched as a pair. Hinge screws are set to a fixed torque and thread-locked, so the fold tension is the same on the first frame and the last.
3. Surface Finishing and Optical Check
Surfaces are polished and, where specified, coated. Each frame is checked for sink marks, colour step at the hinge and lens seat flatness, and a sample is measured against the approved geometry.
4. Packing and Pre-Shipment Sampling
Packing follows the approved carton configuration, and each carton carries a model and colour label. A sampling check is run on finished cartons for hinge tension, colour and logo position before shipment is released.
The full inspection standard is described on the quality control page, and prototype lead times are set out under rapid prototyping.

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity for this model?
The product file records an MOQ of 1200pcs with 1colors for this model, and that is the quantity a colour run is quoted against. Colour and logo customisation is quoted against the same quantity, so a trial order and a repeat order use one price ladder.
How long does sampling take, and what is needed to start?
Sampling starts once the target colour, logo position and lens specification are confirmed. A stock front can usually be shown from existing samples, while a new colour or a new logo needs a made-up sample. The exact sampling window is confirmed at quotation stage, together with the courier cost and the sample charge, which is credited against the bulk order.
Can the logo and packing be customised?
Yes. Logo support is recorded in the product file for this model, and the mark can be moulded in, pad printed or laser marked depending on the surface it sits on. Packing follows the approved carton configuration, and a buyer can specify polybag, pouch or case before the run is released. Artwork is checked on a proof before production, so a spelling or position error is caught before the tooling is touched.
