Wholesale Metal Adults Optical Eyeglasses Frames






A full-rim metal optical frame for adults in 54-17-140, supplied as a wholesale programme for chains, distributors and private-label brands that need a repeatable shape.
Overview
This is a metal optical frame built on a 54-17-140 block: a thin full rim, a metal bridge with adjustable nose pads, and temples that carry the hinge load back into a folded tip. The front is pressed and formed so the lens groove stays concentric around the whole rim, which is what allows a prescription lens to be glazed without stressing the frame or leaving a visible gap at the top of the eye.
It is sold as a wholesale metal frame rather than a finished pair, so the buyer decides the lens. That makes the frame geometry the product: the box curve, the pantoscopic angle and the temple length all have to be consistent from one carton to the next, because a chain that reorders in three months expects the second delivery to fit the same wearer the same way as the first.
Wenzhou Readsun Optical Co., Ltd. is a professional eyewear supplier specialising in the design and production of high-end optical frames in TR90, acetate and metal. Trading through its Alibaba store since 2007, it has won the recognition of millions of customers worldwide, keeps more than 1,000 different models in stock, and updates the range every week so buyers can follow the latest trends.
Sold as wholesale metal adults eyewear, the range is planned so that each metal adults optical shape shares its hinge, temple and plating line with the next, and every adults optical eyeglasses size comes off the same 54-17-140 block, so one optical eyeglasses frames programme can be extended without retooling the whole frame.
Key Features
Full-Rim Metal Front
The rim is a continuous metal section pressed to the box curve, so the lens groove is concentric and the lens sits without a stress mark. The rim depth is kept generous at the top corner, which is where a thin metal frame usually shows a gap once a minus lens is glazed.
54-17-140 Fit
A 54 mm eye, 17 mm bridge and 140 mm temple is a broad adult fit that suits both men and women on a unisex display. Because the size is fixed, a chain can set planogram widths and a distributor can promise the same fit across reorders rather than re-measuring every batch.
Plating and Finish
Frames are polished, degreased and plated, then baked and checked for adhesion and colour coverage on the inner rim as well as the face. The finish is matched against a master plaque under daylight, so a reorder in a different season does not arrive a shade away from the first delivery.
Wholesale Pack and Reorder
Frames ship with demo lenses fitted and are packed for bulk handling rather than retail hanging. Packaging is custom design on request, and the carton marks, polybag count and barcode position are fixed at order stage so the receiving team can book the shipment without repacking it.

OEM & ODM Customization
Because the frame is sold unmounted, customisation is mostly a metal question: plating colour, logo method and temple decoration. The engineering team works from the existing 54-17-140 tooling, so an OEM order changes the finish and the branding rather than the fit, which keeps sampling short and keeps the first production run aligned with the sample.
- Plating colour, including two-tone and matte finishes, agreed against a physical plaque rather than a screen colour.
- Logo laser-marked on the temple or etched on the demo lens, with the artwork checked for legibility at actual size on the curved surface.
- Nose pad shape and temple tip material can be changed within the same front, which is how one shape serves two price points.
- Bulk packing, polybag count and carton marks set per order; custom packaging design is available on request.
- Your inquiry is answered within 12 hours by a trained sales engineer who can talk through material, tooling and packing online rather than forwarding a price list.
- Every shipment is guaranteed: if a problem appears within the warranty period, other than damage to vulnerable parts or man-made damage, replacement spare parts are sent for fitting.
- The engineering team designs personalised frames and builds the packaging solution around your listing, with dielines and colour proofs reviewed before printing.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
Metal frames are checked at three points where a defect becomes visible to the wearer: the solder or weld at the bridge, the hinge rivet, and the plating on the inner rim. Every frame is opened and closed on a jig before packing, and the outgoing sample is drawn from finished cartons rather than from the end of the line.
1. Incoming Material Inspection
Stainless steel strip, monel wire, nose pads and demo lenses are inspected against the approved sample on arrival, with strip thickness, wire temper and pad hardness recorded per lot. Plating chemicals are checked against the approved list, and any lot that fails the bend test is rejected before it reaches the press.
2. Stamping, Forming and Assembly
Fronts are stamped, trimmed and tumbled, then formed to the frame curve so the lens groove stays concentric. Bridges are welded or screwed, end pieces are aligned to the temple angle, and hinges are riveted at a controlled torque; every frame is opened and closed on the jig and checked for a flush fold.
3. Plating and Optical Inspection
Frames are polished, degreased and plated in nickel-free or IP finishes, then baked and checked for adhesion, colour and coverage on the inner rim. Demo lenses are seated, the frame is gauged for bridge width, temple length and face form, and the finished surface is inspected under a lamp for pits and scratches.
4. Packing and Outgoing Sampling
Frames are wiped, bagged and packed with the case, cloth and card agreed for the order. The AQL sample is drawn from finished cartons and checked for hinge tension, plating colour and laser or printed logo position, and the carton is verified for barcode, quantity and shipping marks before sealing.
Applications
- Optical chains building a core metal offer at a fixed size and finish.
- Distributors supplying independent opticians with a repeatable adult fit.
- Private-label brands that want a metal shape under their own name without new tooling.
- Prescription houses that glaze in-house and need a frame that holds alignment after mounting.
- Corporate and institutional supply where a plain metal frame is the safest specification.
- Export markets that need CE and FDA documentation with a stable size across reorders.
The frame belongs to our custom optical frame range, and the men and women variants are listed under men optical frames and women optical frames.
FAQ
What is the MOQ on this metal frame?
The minimum is confirmed at quotation stage because it depends on the plating colour and whether the logo is laser-marked or printed. A single finish in one size is the simplest order to place, and mixed finishes are quoted together.
Can I order a sample before the bulk run?
Yes. A stock frame is available for fit and finish review, and a plated or branded sample is made after the colour and artwork are approved. Sampling time is confirmed at quotation stage together with the courier cost.
Is the frame ready for prescription glazing?
It ships with a demo lens fitted and a rim groove cut to take a prescription lens. The buyer glazes locally or through us; either way the frame is not pre-stressed, so the lens can be mounted without the rim spreading.
