Polarized Clip
Explore our export-ready optical chassis and high-torque magnetic clip solutions engineered for Nordic optical distributors, retail chains, and independent practices.
Swedish consumer habits demand versatile, highly utilitarian lifestyle solutions. Magnetic clip-on optical systems solve specific photic and ergonomic challenges created by Sweden's distinct northern climate.
Between November and February, cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg experience continuous low-elevation solar trajectories. Drivers face blinding glare off wet motorways (E4) and snowy surfaces. Our precision polarised TAC and triacetate cellulose magnetic clips allow prescription eyeglass wearers to snap on anti-reflective glare protection in half a second without carrying bulky dedicated prescription sunglasses.
Outdoor recreation (Friluftsliv) is intrinsic to Swedish culture. Sailing the Bohuslän coast or trekking northern trails exposes eyes to extreme albedo. Utilizing high-coercivity Neodymium magnets seated invisibly in the temple lugs, our magnetic clips stay attached even under wind conditions up to 35 knots, offering uninterrupted Category 3 UV400 filtration.
Sweden maintains a tech-dense knowledge workforce. The primary optical chassis provides tailored anti-blue light filtering for 8+ hours of screen work in indoor LED environments. Upon leaving the workplace, users attach the magnetic sun layer instantly, maintaining their corrective focal parameters without changing frames.
Strategic market analysis for optical chains (Optikbranschen), purchasing syndicates, and boutique eyewear retailers across Scandinavia.
Faced with shifting macroeconomic pressures, Swedish retail consumers increasingly prioritize functional versatility over superfluous accessories. A high-grade magnetic clip chassis provides the value of two complete pairs of prescription spectacles—daily optical and polarized sunwear—lowering the cost-of-ownership threshold while delivering superior margin realization for retailers.
Swedish buyers place strict regulatory and commercial weight on sustainability. In response, our manufacturing utilizes certified bio-acetate derived from FSC-certified wood pulp and plasticizer-free bio-based polymers, in complete harmony with Swedish environmental expectations and the Swedish Chemicals Agency (KemI) guidance.
Nordic visual aesthetic is defined by pure, functional minimalism. Clunky mechanical claw clips are obsolete in urban Swedish retail. The market demands seamless flush-mount integration where internal N52 neodymium magnets are embedded within the frame rim and lugs, keeping the aesthetic clean, understated, and indistinguishable from classic high-end eyewear.
Combining 60+ years of optometric optical heritage with advanced manufacturing nodes in Singapore, France, and Shenzhen to serve international B2B buyers.
Founded by optical pioneers with hands-on ophthalmic lens-grinding roots dating to 1960 (co-founders of Nanyang Optical), Urband International approaches frame design strictly from the lens technician’s standpoint—ensuring vertex distance, pantoscopic tilt, and base curves harmonize with complex prescription glazing.
Between 2006 and 2024, our R&D achievements garnered 21 prestigious international recognitions including iF Design Awards, Red Dot Design Awards, Silmo d'Or nominations, and the President's Design Award. We translate patented mechanical innovations directly into commercial wholesale lines.
We supply Sweden with comprehensive compliance documentation: complete CE conformity declarations, stringent test certificates according to EN ISO 12312-1:2013/A1:2015 for sunglasses, REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 nickel release thresholds (<0.5 μg/cm²/week), and biocompatibility certificates.
Addressing supply chain, compliance, magnet safety, and technical parameters common to Nordic wholesale purchasing.
Yes. Under EN 16128 and REACH Annex XVII, all metallic components, bridge hinges, and magnet housings that come into prolonged contact with skin undergo certified lab testing ensuring nickel release remains well below 0.5 μg/cm²/week. Full batch test reports are supplied prior to customs clearance in Sweden.
We employ premium sintered NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron) magnets of grade N52 coated with a specialized Ni-Cu-Ni triple plating. These retain 99.8% of magnetic flux density at sub-zero temperatures down to -30°C without becoming brittle, ensuring stable adhesion during outdoor sports and ski sessions.
All clip-on attachments utilize 1.0mm polarized TAC or shatterproof polyamide lenses meeting EN ISO 12312-1 Category 3 standards. They feature polarising efficiency >99%, making them ideal for cutting high glare while meeting Swedish Road Administration (Trafikverket) safety thresholds for day driving.
For catalog collections, minimum order quantities start at 100 units per model (assorted acetate/metal finishes). Custom OEM/ODM collections start at 300 units. Air courier consignments to Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) or Gothenburg Landvetter (GOT) take 4–7 business days, while standard freight is handled under DDP or FOB incoterms.
Yes. We provide complete private-label OEM manufacturing including temple-tip pad printing, inside-temple laser engraving, customized dual-compartment slim cases (housing both primary frame and magnetic clip), and Barcode/EAN-13 labeling ready for Swedish retail distribution.
Our chassis engineering incorporates deep lens bevel grooves (groove depth 0.6mm–0.8mm) and calculated base curve geometry (Base 4 to Base 5). This design accommodates higher index lenses (-4.00D to -8.00D) without causing the magnetic clip to push outward or lose magnetic contact.
