Custom Acetate Titanium Sunglasses | Vintage Round OEM
Most buyers who find this page have already been burned once. A factory promised "premium acetate," and three weeks after the shipment landed, your customers were emailing about scratched frames and sore noses. We've been shipping eyewear to brands, optical boutiques, and private-label sellers in North America, Western Europe, and Australia for over twenty years, so believe us - we've heard every version of that story.
Here's what we've landed on after all those years: an acetate front with titanium temples. It's the combination that keeps re-orders coming, and it's exactly what this vintage round model is built around. If you need custom acetate sunglasses that feel expensive in the hand and stay comfortable through a full day of wear, you're in the right place. OEM, ODM, private label, full customization - from your first sketch to the packed carton, we handle it.

Numbers on a spec sheet are easy. Fit is what sells. A frame that disappears on the face - no digging behind the ears four hours into a day - is the frame your customers keep, and the one they replace from you when they lose it.
Why We Build Custom Acetate Sunglasses with Titanium Temples
Sheet acetate is not injection-molded plastic. It has depth - color sits inside the material, not on top of it. It takes a polish, it forgives a light scratch, and it ages well. We CNC-cut the fronts, then barrel-polish them until the edges feel smooth against your thumb. No sharp ridges anywhere.
Black moves fastest, always has. But we also run tortoiseshell, crystal clears, and multi-layer laminated sheets - Italian or domestic material, depending on where your price point sits. When a buyer tells us they want custom acetate sunglasses that look like they came out of a small Milan workshop, this is the material that gets them there.
Swap steel for titanium and the whole frame drops to 20.8 grams. That's roughly forty percent off, and your customers will feel it in the first ten seconds of wearing the sample. Titanium doesn't corrode in humid coastal climates either - a real selling point if you ship to Southeast Asia or the Gulf.
We use beta-titanium specifically, because it flexes. The temples settle against the head and stay there without pinching. The gold finish is IP plating rather than ordinary electroplating, which costs a bit more and survives daily wear instead of flaking off by month three. This is why OEM orders for titanium sunglasses keep climbing among brands selling "all-day comfort."
The Details on This Vintage Round Frame
Two small rivets on each side of the front. A classic detail, and one we can reshape or refinish if your brand book calls for something different. The titanium bridge takes a subtle texture or a light engraving - nothing loud, just enough to catch the light.
Underneath the cosmetics: titanium screw hinges rated past 5,000 open-close cycles, beveled lens edges that lock into the acetate groove without rattling, and silicone nose pads on independent metal posts. That last part matters more than people expect. The pads adjust for both high and low nose bridges, so one frame fits a much wider range of your customers without a second mold.

OEM & ODM Customization Options
This is where most of our conversations with buyers actually start, so let's be concrete.
Frames. Pantone matching across solid, translucent, laminated, and gradient acetate. Minor shape and size adjustments are possible; if new tooling is involved, we'll quote it separately before you commit to anything.
Logo. Laser engraving on the temple, pad printing, hot stamping, or a small metal plaque. We can also print on the lens itself if that's part of your look. Send us your brand book and we'll tell you honestly which method survives daily wear - some don't, and we'd rather say so upfront.
Lenses. CR-39, nylon, polycarbonate, or TAC polarized. Grey, brown, green, gradients, mirrors, photochromic. UV400 comes standard on everything; anti-glare coatings are available on request.
Packaging. Hard cases, soft pouches, PU leather boxes - all printable. Microfiber cloths in your pattern, hang tags, instruction cards, anti-counterfeit stickers. Export cartons can run neutral or fully branded. For private label sunglasses sellers, the unboxing is half the product, and we treat it that way.
Quality Control & Compliance
Every batch follows the same routine. Raw materials get checked at the door. In-process inspections run at each production stage. Finished pairs go through a full inspection under D65 lighting - color match, optical center, hinge tension, surface defects - before anything gets packed.
Compliance works the way your market needs it to, not the way that's easiest for us. Our factory is already FDA registered, so if you're selling into the US, that part of your paperwork is done before we even start talking. For market-specific certifications, tell us where you're selling and we run the testing that market requires - CE for Europe, UKCA for the UK, ANSI Z80.3 for the US, ISO 12312-1 for international buyers. Samples go to SGS, BV, or a lab of your choice, and nothing ships until the reports come back clean. No report, no shipment - that's the rule, even if it costs us a week.
One clarification, because buyers ask about this constantly: sunglasses are not "FDA certified." The FDA doesn't certify products - it registers facilities and lists devices. Our registration is in place and stays current, which means your frames are produced under an FDA-registered facility from day one. If your compliance file needs CE-compliant custom sunglasses or product from an FDA-registered factory for the US market, you receive the full documentation before the goods leave - not after.
Who These Frames Are For
Honestly? Not everyone. These suit designer brands, light-luxury accessory labels, independent optical boutiques, and e-commerce sellers who compete on quality rather than price. They perform well on brand websites, in Amazon brand stores, and in optical chains across North America, Western Europe, the Nordics, and Australia - markets where customers notice materials and will pay for them.
If your model is racing to the bottom on price, we're probably not your factory, and that's fine. If your customers keep a pair for three years and come back for another, let's talk.
Working With Us: MOQ, Lead Time, and What to Expect
Our team has been in this trade since 2005, and the complaints we hear from buyers are almost always the same three: late deliveries, color mismatches, hinges that die within a month. Our answer is boring, which is the point. We work with workshops that specialize in acetate cutting, titanium welding, and proper plating, and we've kept those relationships stable for years.
The practical numbers: samples ship in 7–10 days. Bulk production takes 30–45 days after sample approval, and lead times stretch in peak season - so book early rather than late. MOQ is 300 pairs per color, with room to go lower on trial orders once we understand your project. You'll have one dedicated contact, sample approval before mass production begins, and spare-parts support after shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the MOQ for custom acetate sunglasses?
A: 300 pairs per color is standard. Trial orders can go lower once we've talked through the project.
Q: Can I put my own logo on the sunglasses?
A: Yes - laser engraving, pad printing, hot stamping, or metal plaques on the temples, plus lens printing if your design calls for it.
Q: How long do samples and bulk production take?
A: Samples: 7–10 days. Confirmed bulk orders: 30–45 days. Book early for peak season.
Q: Are these sunglasses CE and FDA compliant?
A: Our factory is FDA registered, so US-market paperwork is already in place. For market-specific standards - CE for Europe, UKCA for the UK, ANSI Z80.3, ISO 12312-1 - we test against whatever your target market requires, with samples going to a third-party lab such as SGS or BV. Full test reports and declaration documents are in your hands before shipment, not after.
Q: Can you produce frames from my own design?
A: Yes. Send drawings or a physical sample, and we'll come back with a feasibility assessment and any tooling costs.
Q: What lens options are available?
A: CR-39, nylon, polycarbonate, and TAC polarized, in grey, brown, green, gradient, mirrored, or photochromic. UV400 is standard across the board.
Q: Do you offer polarized lenses with acetate frames?
A: We do. TAC polarized with UV400 is one of our most requested builds, especially for outdoor and driving lines.
