OEM / ODM / PRIVATE LABEL
A practical development path for your eyewear collection.
Start with a concept, drawing or reference sample. CNL Optics helps organize the questions around product, branding, packaging and the commercial scope before work proceeds.
PROJECT INPUTS
Move from concept to an approved order scope.
- Brief and feasibility review
- Sample and specification alignment
- Production scope confirmed before order
1. Share the brief
Describe the frame type, material, quantity, target market, design references, branding and desired timing.
2. Define and review
Discuss construction, colors, lenses, logos, packaging and the information required for sampling.
3. Approve the specification
Review the sample and align the agreed product details, commercial terms and production schedule.
4. Produce and prepare
Production, agreed inspection activities, packing and shipment preparation follow the confirmed order scope.
Connect development with products and order controls
Choose a starting point from the custom eyewear product range before preparing the development brief.
For material-specific projects, review private label acetate glasses or custom metal eyeglass frames.
Review quality control and inspection planning and meet the Shenzhen manufacturing team.
QUOTATION PREPARATION
Bring the information that makes a quotation useful.
You can start with an incomplete brief. Mark undecided items so the team can identify what needs to be resolved.
| Project input | Useful detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Design reference | Drawing, reference image or sample with important dimensions | Identifies construction questions and the proposed sample route |
| Quantity and colors | Planned quantity per style and per color | Defines the order scope for material and commercial review |
| Branding and packaging | Logo artwork, placement and packing requirements | Keeps the frame, branding and packing in one specification |
| Destination and timing | Target country, requested tests and desired delivery date | Separates required deadlines from a schedule still to be confirmed |
BUYER QUESTIONS
Questions about OEM, ODM and private label projects.
Need an answer for a specific design?

What is the difference between OEM, ODM and private label for an inquiry?
The appropriate route depends on whether you bring a detailed design, a reference, or a broader collection direction. OEM, ODM and private label all begin with a project brief; we first review it and clarify what development, branding and specification work is required.
Can packaging be included?
Packaging options can be discussed with the product and branding requirements. Availability and quantities are confirmed per project.
What can affect the sample and production schedule?
Material and component availability, construction, the number of colors, sample revisions, approval dates and the agreed testing and packing scope can affect timing. Share the desired delivery date early; the confirmed schedule follows the reviewed project scope.
What should I check when reviewing a sample?
Compare the sample with the agreed drawing or reference: dimensions, color, finish, components, logo position and any lens or packing requirements. Record revisions clearly before confirming the production specification.
