Factory Credentials & Infrastructure

Why International Optical Chains Partner With Our OEM Facilities

Integrated engineering, certified clean-room manufacturing, and strategic cross-border export logistics bridging European elegance and Middle Eastern supply resilience.

Full CE & ISO 12870 Conformance

Every frame batch undergoes rigorous mechanical stress, perspiration resistance (ISO 12870:2016), flame resistance, and nickel-release audits according to EN 16128 standards. All shipments are accompanied by valid EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and MDR Technical Documentation for smooth customs clearance.

Strategic Dubai Hub (GCC & MENA)

Operated via our central Dubai partnership desk (Al Khabaisi, Deira), providing regional warehousing, instant reorder dispatch, and bilingual English/Arabic commercial support across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and international export channels without multi-month Asian shipping lead times.

Curated Brand & OEM Scalability

Whether scaling in-house private labels (AirLite TR90 memory technology, French luxury Ottillio silhouettes, or Gözşik contemporary statement designs) or commissioning bespoke OEM molds, our multi-tier tooling delivers seamless manufacturing scaling from 300 to 100,000+ units monthly.

Engineering Deep Dive

Technical Standards in Modern Optical Frame OEM & Export

Optical frame procurement has evolved past basic cosmetic aesthetics. Today’s enterprise buyers—spanning retail optometrists, corporate buying groups, and regional distributors—require strict compliance with international medical device regulations alongside sophisticated metallurgical and polymeric engineering. In the European Union, optical frames intended for corrective ophthalmic lenses are classified as Class I Medical Devices under the Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR). Consequently, importers and brand owners bear strict legal liability for biological safety and mechanical integrity.

1. Material Science Breakdown: TR90 vs. Bio-Acetate vs. Beta-Titanium

Selecting the ideal raw materials dictates retail sell-through, wearer ergonomics, and after-sales return rates. As an OEM manufacturer, our manufacturing lines segregate fabrication according to base material physics:

Frame Material Density & Weight Mechanical Advantage Target Market Segment
Swiss Grilamid TR90 1.14 g/cm³ (Ultra-Light) Shape memory, high flexural fatigue strength, hypoallergenic High-turnover daily wear, sport frames, digital blue-light series
High-Density Cellulose Acetate 1.28 - 1.32 g/cm³ Deep color saturation, hand-polishable, custom core wire insertion Boutique luxury, high-end prescription frames, retro clubmasters
Beta-Titanium Alloy 4.50 g/cm³ (High Strength/Weight) 100% anti-corrosive, extreme elasticity, zero nickel elution Executive minimalist eyewear, rimless and semi-rimless mounts

2. Nickel Release Testing and Surface Finish Durability

Under EN 16128:2015, metallic components coming into prolonged contact with the wearer's dermis must not release nickel in concentrations exceeding 0.5 µg/cm²/week. For gold-plated and vintage alloy finishes (such as our 35009 Vintage Alloy Series), our factories implement multi-stage vacuum Ion Plating (IP) rather than traditional low-grade electroplating. This molecular bonding produces an abrasion-resistant barrier passing 72-hour synthetic perspiration immersion tests without pitting or blistering.

OEM Procurement Checklist

Step 1: Specification Freeze
Establish A-B-ED lens measurements, bridge width, pantoscopic tilt (8°–12°), and temple curvature based on target demographic anthropometrics.

Step 2: Tooling & Mold Verification
Rapid CNC prototyping in high-density POM/resin ensures bridge ergonomics and temple hinging function prior to steel die injection or multi-axis milling.

Step 3: MDR Documentation Audit
Ensure your OEM supplier issues technical files containing EN ISO 12870 laboratory reports, biocompatibility documentation (ISO 10993-5/10), and CE marking Declaration of Conformity.

Frequently Answered Questions

Essential guidance on minimum order quantities, private mold engineering, CE/MDR regulatory certifications, and factory export logistics.

Get Catalog
What specific certifications are required to import optical frames into the European Union and USA? +
For the European Union, prescription optical frames must comply with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) Class I, validated under EN ISO 12870 (mechanical endurance, bridge deformation, perspiration resistance) and EN 16128 (nickel release limits). Importers require a complete Technical Documentation dossier and an authorized EU Representative (EC REP). For the USA, non-prescription sunframes require FDA 21 CFR 801.410 drop ball impact testing, while optical frames require FDA factory device listing and registration.
What are the typical Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) for custom OEM vs. catalog wholesale? +
For stock catalog collections supported through our regional Dubai logistics hub, low MOQs start at 50 to 100 units per model (split across approved colorways). For bespoke OEM/ODM projects requiring private injection molds, custom extrusion acetate patterns, or bespoke core wire stamping, MOQs are typically 300 to 500 units per style (100 units per color), ensuring economic amortization of tooling and optical CNC programming fees.
How does the factory guarantee hinge durability and dimensional lens-groove stability? +
Our automated quality control protocols incorporate pneumatic mechanical cycle testers that open and close spring hinges and multi-barrel pinned hinges 20,000 times consecutively without structural loosening or hinge-screw backout. Additionally, computerized bevel depth verification ensures lens grooves maintain uniform ±0.05mm tolerances, preventing ophthalmic lenses from twisting or popping out under thermal expansion.
Can we request branded bespoke packaging and laser logo engraving? +
Yes. Turnkey private labeling includes precision fiber-laser temple engraving, interior hot-stamped CE markings and model sizes (e.g., 52□18-140), customized metal plaque end-tips, microfiber lens cloths, and branded hard cases crafted to match your company's retail brand guidelines.
What are standard lead times from initial mold approval to containerized shipping? +
Pre-production physical counter-samples are delivered within 14 to 21 business days via rapid CNC fabrication. Upon final prototype approval, mass production cycles require 45 to 60 days for acetate/titanium hybrid frames, and 35 to 45 days for high-injection TR90 models. Express regional fulfillment for active catalog lines is dispatched within 48 hours from our Dubai distribution desk.
