What Information Do You Need to Get a Custom Sunglasses Quote?
Quick Answer
To get a more accurate custom sunglasses quote, start with four basic details: your reference style, quantity, target market and target price range.
If you already know your preferred material, lenses, logo and packaging, include them too. If not, that’s okay—a sunglasses manufacturer can help you narrow down the right options for your project.
1. Send a Reference Style
The easiest way to start is to show the manufacturer what you are looking for.
You can send:
- A product photo
- A drawing or design
- A physical sample
- A supplier’s existing model number
- Your own product concept
If you want to modify an existing style, point out the parts you want to change.
A clear reference helps the manufacturer understand your preferred shape and overall product direction before discussing customization.
2. Tell Us Your Preferred Frame Material
If you already know the material you want, mention it in your inquiry.
Common options include:
- Acetate
- TR90
- PC
- Metal
Not sure which material to choose? You don’t need to decide before asking for a quote.
Tell the manufacturer your target market, product style and price range instead. They can recommend a more suitable option based on your project.
3. Provide the Quantity and Number of Colors
Quantity is one of the main factors affecting MOQ and unit price.
Instead of simply saying:
“I need 300 sunglasses.”
It is more useful to say:
300 pcs / 1 model / 3 colors
If you are considering several models, provide the approximate quantity for each one.
You don’t need to finalize the order quantity immediately. An estimated quantity is usually enough to start the quotation process.
4. Describe Your Lens Requirements
Lens specifications can also affect the quotation.
Tell the manufacturer if you need:
- Standard tinted lenses
- Polarized lenses
- Gradient lenses
- Mirror lenses
- Specific lens colors
If you are unsure, explain the intended use of the sunglasses and your target market.
For example, a fashion collection and an outdoor polarized collection may require very different lens options.
5. Tell Us About Your Logo and Packaging
For private-label sunglasses, let the manufacturer know where you would like to add your branding.
Common logo positions include:
- Temple
- Lens
- Packaging
You can also mention whether you need custom:
- Pouches
- Cleaning cloths
- Cases
- Boxes
- Hang tags
- Labels or barcodes
These details don’t all need to be finalized during the first inquiry. They can be confirmed as the project develops.
6. Share Your Target Market and Price Range
This is especially useful for new brands or buyers who haven’t finalized their specifications.
For example:
“We are developing a fashion sunglasses collection for the US market, targeting a retail price of around USD 50–80.”
Knowing your market and price positioning helps the manufacturer recommend more appropriate materials, styles and customization options.
It can also prevent wasting time discussing products that don’t fit your target cost.
Simple Custom Sunglasses Quote Example
Your first inquiry doesn’t need to be complicated.
For example:
Hi, we are looking for private-label sunglasses for the US market.
Reference: Attached photo
Material: Acetate preferred
Quantity: 300 pcs
Colors: 3
Lens: Polarized
Logo: Temple + lens
Packaging: Custom pouch
Target price: USD XXPlease let us know if you have a similar existing model and what customization options are available.
That’s already enough information to start a meaningful discussion.
What If You Don’t Know All the Details?
That’s completely fine.
You do not need a complete tech pack before contacting a sunglasses manufacturer.
If your project is still at an early stage, start with:
Reference Style + Quantity + Target Market + Target Price Range
From there, the manufacturer can help you evaluate the material, lenses, branding, packaging and whether an existing model or custom development makes more sense.
FAQ
Do I need a tech pack before asking for a sunglasses quote?
Not necessarily. For an initial quotation, a reference image and your basic commercial requirements are usually enough to start. More detailed specifications can be confirmed during sampling and product development.
Should I tell the manufacturer my target price?
If you have a realistic target price, sharing it can be useful. It helps the manufacturer recommend materials, products and customization options that better match your market positioning and budget.
Can I request a quote if I don’t know which frame material to use?
Yes. Send your reference style, expected quantity, target market and price range. The manufacturer can then suggest whether acetate, TR90, PC, metal or another option is more suitable.
