Suncute Industries logo

OEM and ODM Scope

Suncute Industries supports both Original Equipment Manufacturing, producing eyewear based on client-provided designs and specifications, and Original Design Manufacturing, where products are developed from concept through design, engineering, and production. With over four decades of experience serving global brands, retailers, and distributors, we manufacture sunglasses, optical frames, functional eyewear, and safety frames for commercial-scale distribution.

In-House Development and Manufacturing

Our operations are built on a fully integrated, in-house manufacturing and development system. We support injection, metal, acetate, and hybrid constructions, allowing flexibility across design, performance, and cost requirements. Tooling is in-house as well: injection molds are developed in our own factory, and acetate and metal frames need no mold at all. Our internal teams include eyewear designers, professional 2D and 3D drafting specialists, and dedicated material and product development departments. This structure ensures that client designs or concepts are converted into production-ready technical specifications with manufacturability, compliance, and cost efficiency addressed early in the development phase.

Quality Control and Production Assurance

Quality control is managed internally across materials, processes, and finished goods. Our factory operates in-house raw material and finished product testing facilities to maintain consistent standards throughout development and production. All finished goods are fully inspected prior to shipment to minimize quality issues and ensure alignment with approved specifications. Supported by our Triple-Guard Quality approach and fully integrated in-house manufacturing, we provide purchasers with stable quality, controlled costs, predictable lead times, and reliable long-term supply.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from OEM and ODM partners about our manufacturing process, certifications, and timelines.

01

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ is set per model and per color, and depends on material: acetate 300 pieces per model (100 per color), metal 600 pieces per model (200 per color), and injection or TR90 3,000 pieces per model (600 per color). Acetate and metal frames need no mold. Sampling and pilot runs are available to validate fit, finish, and construction before scaling. Ready-stock Rx safety frames are available from 50 pieces. For new brands we recommend starting in acetate: the lowest MOQ and shortest lead time for custom frames.
02

What is the typical production lead time?

Standard production lead time is approximately 75 to 90 days from order confirmation, depending on material (acetate around 75 days, metal around 90 days). New tooling and safety programs are quoted per project. Repeat orders with approved specifications can be produced on shorter cycles.
03

Can you customize products for my brand?

Yes. We support full OEM and ODM customization including frame color, lens tint and coatings, temple logo engraving, branded cases and cloths, custom packaging, and retail-ready labeling. Our in-house engineering team at Agilton Optical manages the full product development cycle from concept to mass production.
04

What certifications and quality standards apply to your eyewear?

Our facility holds ISO 9001 (quality management system), FDA establishment registration, SMETA audit (Sedex ethical trade covering labour, health and safety, environment, and business ethics), and ISCC PLUS certification (chain-of-custody for bio-based, bio-circular, and recycled feedstocks). Our eyewear is produced in compliance with CE (EN ISO 12312-1 for sunglasses, EN ISO 12870 for optical frames, EN 166 / ISO 16321 for safety), FDA impact-resistance (21 CFR 801.410), and ANSI standards (Z80.3, Z87.1) for the US market. Every finished product is subject to full inspection before shipment. We are open to additional audits and certifications on program request, including BSCI and brand-specific supplier audits.
