Multi-Function 180 Degree Spring Hinge ULTEM Magnetic Clip-On Optical Frame

Prescription correction and a sun layer in a single frame, joined by magnets rather than by a hinge.

Overview

The frame is a two-part system: an optical front that takes prescription lenses, and a sun clip that locates on the brow by magnet rather than by a hook over the lens. Because the clip seats on inserts moulded into the front, the two parts align on the same optical centre every time it is fitted, and the wearer can drop the clip into a case without touching the lenses. The front is made in ULTEM, the clip is fitted with a 0.74 mm polarized clip lens as recorded in the product file, and the assembly is aimed at optical chains, travel-retail buyers and distributors who want one SKU to answer both indoor and outdoor demand.

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 hinge opens through 180 degrees, which lets the temple fold flat in either direction without stressing the joint. The catalogue lists this model under five search terms: multi-function 180 degree, spring hinge, ultem magnetic clip-on, magnetic clip-on and optical frame. They cover platform, fit and frame family, and all five resolve to model OUT273242, 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.

Product Showcase

Photographs below are the approved sample set for model OUT273242: front, angle, temple detail and colour reference. They are the images used for buyer approval, so a reorder is matched against the same reference.

Specifications

Values below come from the product file for this model. Where a field is not fixed in the file, it is marked as confirmable rather than filled with a nominal figure.

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.
• Clip lens tint and magnet pull specified as part of the same order, so the front and the sun layer stay a matched pair.
• 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.

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.

The full inspection standard is described on the quality control page, and prototype lead times are set out under rapid prototyping.

Applications

Model OUT273242 is ordered by buyers in the following channels. The list is not exclusive, but it describes where the shape, price point and packing have already been placed.

• Optical chains adding a dual-purpose line to a prescription wall
• Travel-retail and airport buyers who need one SKU for indoor and outdoor use
• Distributors supplying drivers, teachers and outdoor workers
• Private-label brands building a clip-on story across several fronts
• Corporate and safety programmes where a single pair covers site and office
• Online sellers who want a product that explains itself in one photograph

FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity for this model?

The product file does not fix an MOQ for this model, so the quantity is confirmed at quotation stage against the chosen colour count and packing. 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?

Logo and packing customisation are available; the exact method depends on the surface the mark sits on and is confirmed at quotation stage. 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.
