Retro Cat Eye men Injection Acetate eyeglasses Optical Frames spectacle frames






A prescription-ready front produced by injection, so the shape holds across the run.
Overview
This frame is an optical front for private-label programmes, where the buyer controls colour, logo and packing and the factory controls geometry. The front is made in acetate, the lens specification is a demo lens, with the final lens specified at order. It suits importers and chain buyers who need a shape that reads as design-led at retail but is priced for volume, and who want the hinge and the end-piece to hold up in service.
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 retro cat-eye front is produced by injection, so the brow line stays identical across the yellow, blue and purple colourways. The catalogue lists this model under five search terms: Retro Cat Eye, men Injection Acetate, Acetate eyeglasses Optical, Optical Frames spectacle and Frames spectacle frames. They cover platform, fit and frame family, and all five resolve to model OAI969047X, 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
Acetate is chosen for depth of colour: pigment sits in the material rather than on it, so a polished front keeps its tone where the temple rubs. The moulded grade used here holds a thicker brow and a bevel without the internal stress that shows up later as crazing around the hinges.
Hinge, Temple and Fit
The front carries a defined brow and a thin eye wire, so the lens is held under tension at the rim rather than only at the top. That is what keeps a prescription lens from rotating in the frame after glazing.
Lens Fitting and Optical Stability
The front is deep enough to take a range of lens thicknesses, including a high minus edge, without the lens standing proud of the rim. Buyers can therefore offer the shape across a wider prescription range.
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 300 pieces, which is the point at which a colour run becomes practical.

Photographs below are the approved sample set for model OAI969047X: 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.
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
The front is moulded to the approved tool, then trimmed and polished. Temples are assembled to the front at the hinge block, and fold angle is checked against a setting gauge rather than by eye.
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.
Applications
Model OAI969047X 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 building a coherent wall from one tooling family
- Private-label brands specifying colour, logo and packing
- Distributors supplying independent opticians with a design-led front
- Online prescription retailers who need a frame that photographs well
- Buying groups adding a bold shape to a conservative range
- Importers who need the same geometry repeated across reorders

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity for this model?
The product file records an MOQ of 300 pieces 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.
