Why choose custom sunglasses cases?
Custom cases do three jobs at once: protect the lenses, extend your brand reach, and increase perceived product value. A thoughtfully designed case reduces returns from damage, creates unboxing moments that buyers share, and helps retail partners sell more. For wholesale buyers, cases that match your sunglasses’ quality and aesthetic signal professionalism.
Business benefits
Better product protection = fewer returns.
Branding on cases increases repeat exposure.
Custom packaging justifies a higher wholesale price.
Materials & styles: pick the right protection
Cases come in many materials — hard shells (ABS/PU-coated EVA), soft pouches (microfiber, neoprene), leatherette, and eco-friendly cardboard or cork. Choose material based on the eyewear style:
Hard shell / EVA — best protection for premium or fragile lenses.
Microfiber pouch — lightweight, cost-effective, doubles as a cleaner.
Leatherette / PU — premium look for fashion brands.
Recycled cardboard / cork — for eco-conscious labels.
Consider interior lining (microfiber or soft felt) and closure type (zipper, snap, magnetic flap) — these affect both protection and perceived value.
Customization options
You can tailor cases to match your brand and buyer expectations:
Printing: full-color printing for patterned cases.
Foil stamping / hot stamp: metallic logos for premium feel.
Embossing / debossing: subtle, tactile branding.
Patch labels: woven or leather patches sewn on.
Color matching: Pantone or custom dyes to match frames/packaging.
When choosing, request mockups and physical samples to confirm color, finish, and logo clarity.
Sizing and fit — important but often overlooked
Measure your sunglasses (width, temple fold thickness, lens depth). Offer us an example frame or exact measurements. A loosely fitting case risks sliding around; one that’s too tight can scratch frames. If you stock multiple frame sizes, plan SKU mapping: which case fits which model.
Minimums, pricing & lead times
Bulk orders usually lower unit cost but increase inventory risk. Typical minimum order quantities (MOQs) vary by material and customization method:
Simple microfiber pouch: low MOQ (100 pcs or more).
Branded hard shell with embossing: higher MOQ (500 pcs or more).
Contact us for tiered pricing, lead times for samples vs. production, and hidden costs (tooling, artwork setup, shipping).
Quality control & samples
Always get a pre-production sample and confirm: material, logo placement, color, lining, and fit. For large runs, request a production sample and agree on inspection standards before shipment. Document agreed specs in writing—measurements, Pantone codes, materials, and proof images.
Shipping & packaging
Decide whether cases ship nested (to save volume) or individually packaged (for retail-ready presentation). For wholesale clients, nested shipments reduce freight costs. For direct-to-consumer or retail-ready SKUs, consider individual boxes, hang tags, or polybags.
