Engineered to exceed strict ISO and CE compliance standards, our primary production lines support custom branding, tailored temple geometries, and modular component integration for international eyewear distributors.
Modern B2B optical buyers require more than cosmetic customization. High-margin retail programs depend upon repeatable dimensional precision, mechanical integrity under cyclic stress, and flawless component longevity.
Traditional eyeglass frames suffer from screw loosening, thread stripping, and friction degradation caused by repeated cyclic open-close operations. Drawing upon over two decades of dedicated mechanical R&D stemming from Japanese research centers and refined in our French design studio, Urband International has revolutionized temple connection physics.
Our Screwless Hinge System eliminates friction-dependent threads through a precision interlocking channel that retains uniform tension throughout 30,000 continuous articulation cycles. Concurrently, our patented Active Hinge Mechanism integrates a calibrated flex-return damper that permits lateral hyper-extension up to 25 degrees beyond standard opening angles, absorbing lateral impacts and returning precisely to the anatomical optical center without pinching.
Optimizing margin, structural performance, and patient satisfaction requires aligning frame geometry with material physical parameters.

Consolidate multiple vendor relationships into a single, high-reliability supply chain partner with verified origin traceability, creative European design, and advanced Shenzhen manufacturing precision.
Our industrial design pipeline has secured 14 prestigious design awards, 6 nominations, and 1 invited recognition across the iF Design Award, Red Dot Design Award, SILMO d'Or, and President's Design Award platforms, validating retail shelf appeal before your inventory ships.
Combining corporate fiduciary governance and capital backing in Singapore, creative avant-garde styling in Douvres-la-Délivrande (France), and high-output, tight-tolerance tooling in Shenzhen, China ensures uncompromised quality controls with attractive factory pricing.
Order seamlessly across five distinct brands—including EYELET pediatric ergonomics, GLOSSI feminine fashion collections, URBAND PARIS prescription sports eyewear, and COUPLE dedicated presbyopia solutions—under a consolidated bill of lading and single payment term.
Strategic buyers must anticipate regulatory transitions, sustainability mandates, and technical converging forces impacting gross margin and customs clearance.
Mandatory ESG reporting across EU and North American jurisdictions is driving conversion from traditional petroleum plasticizers toward certified bio-acetates with >68% renewable vegetable origin and fully biodegradable properties.
Integration of parametric 3D face-scanning with localized CNC bridge and temple machining allows high-end optical practices to deliver tailored bridge angles, pantoscopic tilts, and vertex distances with negligible mold investment.
Precision micro-cavity routing inside acetate and composite temples enables discreet integration of micro-acoustics, directional microphones, and heads-up smart components without sacrificing classic luxury eyewear aesthetic proportions.
Global customs enforcement now mandates verifiable product-level supply chain documentation—including REACH SVHC screenings, Conflict Minerals reporting, and medical device classification records—prior to ocean port clearance.
As an export partner to leading optical chains across more than 40 countries, Urband International operates an in-house metrology and testing facility. We never rely on generic certificates of compliance; every production lot receives product-specific audit certificates and technical dossier documentation.
Our quality engineering infrastructure satisfies:
Direct technical clarity on minimum order thresholds, custom tooling cycles, quality assurance parameters, and global fulfillment terms.
For custom injection-molded TR90 and polyamide collections, minimum order quantities start at 300 pieces per colorway. CNC-machined acetate frames typically require 300 to 500 units per model, while high-grade titanium and metal wire frames require 500 units to support specialized PVD tooling runs.
All private label development operates under legally binding bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements governed by Singapore commercial law. Dedicated client tooling dies are preserved exclusively for authorized buyer runs, ensuring proprietary silhouettes are never repurposed for generic wholesale catalogs.
Initial 3D SLA functional prototypes and color chips require 10–14 business days. Following physical sample approval, full production runs require 45–60 days for TR90 and metal collections, and 65–75 days for multi-layer hand-polished acetate frames requiring extensive tumbling cycles.
Yes. We offer complete OEM lens edging, laser engraving, pad printing, and foil hot-stamping. Our optical lens partners supply plano demo lenses, blue-light blocking monomers, and polarized TAC or polycarbonate sun lenses matching ANSI Z80.3 and EN ISO 12312-1 specifications.
Every commercial export contains lot-specific drop-ball impact test certificates, bridge deformation analysis, dimensional tolerance inspection charts, REACH Annex XVII screening reports, and CE/FDA registration documentation matched directly to your customs clearance jurisdiction.
Yes. Unlike traditional single-specialty factories, Urband allows retail buyers and distributors to combine children's flexible TR90 frames, premium handmade acetate, and ultra-light titanium executive styles within a single master shipping manifest, optimizing freight and customs brokerage.
