What Are Metal Sunglasses?
Metal sunglasses represent the intersection of precision engineering and timeless fashion. Crafted from lightweight alloys such as stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium, these frames offer superior durability compared to standard plastic alternatives while maintaining a sleek, minimalist profile.
For buyers in the eyewear industry, metal frames provide a versatile canvas for customization. From intricate wire designs to robust sport styles, they cater to diverse market segments including luxury fashion, outdoor performance, and everyday optical wear.
Key Benefit: The inherent strength of metal allows for thinner, more comfortable frames that resist warping over time, ensuring your brand delivers long-lasting quality.

How long does it take to produce a sample of metal frames?
For Light Customization, sampling takes approximately 7 days. For Full OEM projects involving new mold development, the process includes CAD drafting, prototyping, and refinement, typically taking 2-3 weeks before mass production begins.
Can you customize lens types for metal sunglasses?
Yes. We partner with certified lens suppliers like Zeiss and Essilor to offer polarized, photochromic, blue-light blocking, and UV400 protection lenses. Lens customization is available across both MOQ tiers.
What certifications do your metal sunglasses carry?
Our factory holds BSCI, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CE, FDA, RoHS, and TUV certifications. These ensure compliance with international safety, environmental, and quality standards for export to Europe, North America, and Australia.
Do you charge mold fees for new metal frame designs?
Mold fees apply only to Full OEM/ODM projects where new frame geometries are developed. Light Customization uses existing designs, so there are absolutely no mold fees involved.
