Classic Shapes PC Reading Glasses






A ready-to-wear reader for shelf and pharmacy display, built to be reordered rather than replaced.
Overview
This reader is built for counter and shelf display, where the frame is judged at arm's length and then worn for twenty minutes in the shop. The front is made in polycarbonate, the lens specification is a reading lens whose power range is confirmed at quotation stage, and the temple is set to hold behind the ear without pinching, which is the complaint that decides whether a reader is reordered. Supply is aimed at pharmacies, chain stores, gift distributors and private-label brands buying in volume.
The commercial case is straightforward: one tooling set, one colour standard and one packing specification, so a buyer can extend the range by adding colours rather than by adding moulds. The shapes are classic rather than fashion-led, which is what makes the model easy to place in a pharmacy or chain programme. The catalogue lists this model under five search terms: classic shapes, classic shapes pc reading, shapes pc reading glasses, pc reading glasses and reading glasses. They cover platform, fit and frame family, and all five resolve to model RP971004, 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
Polycarbonate gives this frame its impact behaviour: the front and temple resist cracking when knocked, which is why the same resin is used for safety and sports eyewear. It also moulds thin, so a deep eye-wire profile can be produced without the weight penalty that acetate would add at the same thickness.
Hinge, Temple and Pocket Fit
The hinge is specified for repeated folding, because a reader is opened and closed far more often than a prescription frame. Spring or standard hinge is fixed at sampling, and the screw is thread-locked before packing so it does not back out in a pocket.
Lens and Reading Comfort
The lens is set with a slight wrap allowance so the reading zone stays comfortable at close range. That detail is what separates a reader that is worn from one that is put back on the shelf.
Colour, Logo and Packing
Logo position is agreed on the sample, so the mark sits on a flat face rather than over a curve. The minimum order quantity is 1200pcs with 3colors, which is the point at which a colour run becomes practical.
Product Showcase
Photographs below are the approved sample set for model RP971004: 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
Resin, sheet and temple wire arrive with a batch record. Colour is checked against the approved swatch under daylight, and magnetic inserts, where the model uses them, are tested for pull before the batch is released to moulding.
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
Polishing is followed by a coating stage where the order calls for it. Inspectors check for flow lines, colour drift between front and temple, and any gap at the lens seat before the frame moves to packing.
4. Packing and Pre-Shipment Sampling
Frames are packed to the agreed carton count with a colour and model label on each polybag. A pre-shipment sample is drawn from the finished cartons and checked against the approved sample before the carton is sealed.
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 3colors 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.
