WHY SEESUN
What Matters Between a Design and Repeatable Production
The choice of eyewear manufacturer matters when approved details have to carry through engineering, sampling and production without losing proportion, fit or key design features. SEESUN focuses on the points where projects most often become difficult: complex structures, repeated revisions and high-mix production planning.
01
A design can lose proportion, fit or critical details when it is translated into a manufacturable frame.
Design Fidelity Before Tooling
Structure, fit and component relationships are reviewed before tooling or sampling decisions are locked. If a proportion or connection creates risk, it can still be corrected while the change is manageable.
02
Complex geometry and mixed materials can create risks that a standard production route does not solve.
Complex Eyewear Engineering
Geometry, material behavior and critical interfaces are reviewed before the production route is set. Depending on the construction, that may mean changing how the frame is machined, formed or how different materials are integrated.
03
Prototype work can slow down when it competes with bulk orders for the same production resources.
Dedicated Sample Development
7–15 DAYS*
PRIORITY SAMPLING
Our dedicated sample and prototype team works separately from bulk-production scheduling, allowing samples to be developed without waiting for a production-line slot. Straightforward designs requiring no new tooling may be completed in 7–15 days, subject to material availability and current workload.
04
High-mix, lower-volume orders are harder to plan than long runs of a single style.
Flexible Lean Production
45-60 DAYS*
PRIORITY PRODUCTION
Flexible production scheduling allows us to manage different styles and smaller batches around the actual order mix, reducing unnecessary waiting between production runs. For eligible standard-frame orders, lead times can be around 30% shorter than our usual production schedule when materials and capacity are available.
*Priority lead times apply only to eligible projects and depend on material readiness, tooling requirements and available capacity. Standard sampling typically takes 25–30 days, while standard mass production takes 75–90 days. New tooling time is additional.
CORE SERVICES
Custom Eyewear Manufacturing, OEM, ODM , Private Label & Production
Eyewear projects reach us at different stages. Some brands start with a proven frame, others bring defined specifications or still need product development. We match the work to the project stage and carry approved products into production.
01
Private Label Sunglasses
Build a branded collection from proven frame platforms, with selected changes to colors, lenses, logos and packaging. Sampling confirms the approved details before production.
02
OEM & ODM Eyewear
Use OEM when most product specifications are already defined, or ODM when part of the design and engineering is still open. The route depends on what has been approved and what still needs development.
03
Eyeglasses Factory & Mass Production
Once the sample and production requirements are approved, the project moves into controlled manufacturing. Production planning, in-process checks and final inspection are managed against the confirmed reference.

OUR FACTORY
Inside Our Eyeglasses Factory in China
Our eyeglasses factory in China produces sunglasses and optical frames for OEM and ODM projects. Core processing, finishing, assembly and inspection are managed in-house, with specialized machining and material-integration routes available for constructions that cannot be handled reliably through conventional methods.
CNC & Precision Machining
Precision CNC machining defines frame outlines, grooves and key dimensions. Critical dimensions are checked before parts move into later finishing.
Tumbling & Barrel Polishing
Tumbling removes machining marks and softens rough edges on acetate components before hand finishing.
Precision Engraving
Our suction-fixture machining workshop uses integrated cutting and engraving equipment for complex acetate lamination. This process reduces material waste while improving positioning accuracy during machining.
Hand Polishing & Finishing
Hand polishing is used on visible surfaces, edges and corners where the final feel of the frame depends on manual control.
Cold Lamination
Cold lamination is one of the material-assembly routes used in our eyeglasses factory for selected acetate constructions before later shaping and finishing.
Frame Assembly & Fitting
Assembly checks focus on alignment, hinge movement and overall frame balance.

Eyewear Manufacturing FAQs
What is your MOQ for custom sunglasses and eyewear?
MOQ depends on the frame material, design and customization requirements. We support flexible order quantities for different OEM, ODM and private label projects. Send us your design or project requirements for a specific MOQ evaluation.
Do you provide OEM, ODM and private label eyewear manufacturing?
Yes. We provide OEM, ODM and private label manufacturing for sunglasses and optical frames, covering product development, sampling, branding, mass production, quality control and packaging.
Can you develop custom eyewear from a sketch, drawing or reference sample?
Yes. Our product development team can work from sketches, technical drawings, reference images, 3D files or physical samples. We can support the project from design review and engineering through sampling and mass production.
What materials can you manufacture?
We manufacture acetate, metal, titanium and mixed-material sunglasses and optical frames. Material selection can be matched to your design, target price, positioning and performance requirements.
How long does custom eyewear sampling take?
Custom sampling generally takes around 25–30 days, depending on frame construction, materials and finishing requirements. For straightforward designs requiring no new tooling, priority sampling may be completed in 7–15 days when capacity allows. New tooling and more complex developments require separate time estimates.
What is your lead time for mass production?
A typical mass-production reference is 75–90 days after sample approval and order confirmation. For straightforward styles, a 45–60-day priority schedule may be possible if materials are already in stock or can be prepared within approximately 15 days, and production capacity is available. Final timing is confirmed against the actual order and material plan.
