Send your drawing, target quantity and the detail you need to confirm.
MOQ & Quotes
What to prepare before you place an order.
What is your minimum order quantity?
Our MOQ is 500 pieces per model, per color. Send your planned styles and colors; your quotation confirms the quantity for each model and color. Different models or colors cannot be combined to meet the minimum.
What should I send you for a quotation?
Send a drawing, sketch or reference image, target dimensions, quantity and delivery destination. Include your preferred color or pattern, logo and packaging if known. If a detail is undecided, tell us what the product needs to do and we can review the options with you.
What affects the price of a custom product?
Size, material thickness, shape, machining, finish, hardware, logo, packaging and order quantity all affect the cost. Your quotation sets out the agreed specification and any separate development or tooling costs, so you can compare like for like.
How are payment terms and order details confirmed?
Payment terms are confirmed in your quotation and order documents. Before paying, check the product specification, sample approval, quantity, price, production schedule and shipping scope. Ask us to clarify any item that is not included.
Design & OEM/ODM
Bring a finished drawing, a sample or an idea.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM?
With OEM, we make your acetate product from your design or specification. With ODM support, our team helps develop the design from your brief or reference. In both cases, you review a physical sample before production. See our acetate OEM/ODM service.
Can you help if I do not have a design drawing?
Yes. Bring a sketch, reference sample or a clear description of your idea. We can prepare a free design proposal based on your requirements and review whether it can be made in acetate. Sample development, tooling and production costs are quoted separately where applicable.
Can you make products that are not shown on your website?
Yes. We make acetate jewelry, eyewear frames and parts, mirrors, footwear accessories, mahjong and hair accessories. Have another product in mind? Send your drawing or reference so we can check the shape, material and assembly before confirming the work.
Can I customize the shape, logo and brand details?
You can discuss the outline, dimensions, color, finish, logo size and position, hardware and packaging. Send your artwork and identify any details that must stay unchanged. We confirm suitable methods and check the result on your sample rather than promising every process for every design.
Materials & Colors
Choose the appearance and thickness for your product.
Can I choose a custom acetate color or pattern?
Choose from 1,000+ acetate colors and patterns, or send a physical swatch or target color code for custom matching. We help you compare materials and check the result on a sample. Explore acetate colors and patterns.
How do I choose the right material thickness?
Tell us the product size, intended use and any attachment or mating parts. Thickness affects strength, weight, machining and appearance. We review these requirements with your design and confirm the selected material before sampling; there is no single thickness that suits every product.
Will the finished color look exactly like the website photo?
Photos and screens are useful for choosing a direction, but they are not a color approval standard. Light, screen settings and the way a pattern is cut can change its appearance. Use a physical swatch and approved sample to confirm the color, pattern and finish.
Do you sell raw acetate sheets or cut blanks?
Our service focuses on custom finished acetate products and processed parts, not standalone raw-sheet or blank sales. We select and process the material for your product. Send your design if you need a finished part rather than a sheet.
Samples & Approval
Check the details before committing to production.
Can I receive a physical sample before bulk production?
Yes. We agree the design, material and sample plan first. You receive a physical sample to check the shape, color, finish, logo and fit. Volume production begins after you approve the sample and order specification.
How much does sampling cost and how long does it take?
Sample costs depend on the design, material availability, machining, finishing and any tooling. Sample production takes 25–30 days. Tell us your target launch date early so we can assess the sample and production schedule together.
What happens if I need to change the first sample?
Send clear comments, marked-up photos and any revised dimensions. We review what needs changing and confirm the next sample, cost and timing before proceeding. Keep feedback in one agreed revision list so the approved version is clear to both teams.
What should I check before approving a sample?
Check dimensions and fit, color and pattern, edge smoothness, finish, logo position, hardware function and packaging where applicable. Mark critical requirements on the drawing. Confirm the final sample and specification in writing so production has a clear reference.
Production & Quality
Agree the process, schedule and checks in advance.
Which manufacturing processes can you handle?
We use CNC cutting, drilling and milling to shape acetate sheets, followed by polishing and assembly as needed. Send your drawing so we can check the processes for your part. See our custom acetate manufacturing service.
How long will bulk production take?
The schedule depends on material availability, design complexity, quantity, finishing, assembly and packing. We confirm the production plan after reviewing the project and sample approval requirements. Production time and shipping time are separate, so share your required arrival date, not only the dispatch date.
What dimensions and tolerances can you achieve?
Mark critical dimensions, mating parts and required tolerances on your drawing. Feasibility depends on the acetate thickness, geometry, machining and finish. We confirm achievable requirements before sampling rather than applying one tolerance claim to every product.
What quality checks and inspection documents can I request?
We check dimensions, edges, finish, color, assembly and packing against the approved drawing and sample. Agree any inspection records, tests or third-party inspection arrangements before production. For audit or certification documents, ask us to confirm the current dates and scope for your product and destination; a factory record does not automatically certify every product.
Packaging & Delivery
Prepare the product for your market and shipment.
Can you provide private-label packaging?
Yes. Choose from our existing packaging options and share your logo artwork, labels, barcode and any retail requirements. We review the size and protection needed for your product and confirm the packaging specification, cost and sample approval with you.
What do you need to quote shipping?
Send the destination country, city or postcode, order quantity and required arrival date. Packing size, shipment weight, route and delivery service affect freight cost. We confirm the available shipping arrangement and its scope with your quotation.
Are customs duties and destination charges included?
Do not assume they are included. Your quotation should state the agreed shipping term, delivery point and which costs each side covers. Confirm freight, insurance where relevant, import duties, taxes and destination charges before approving the order.
What should I do if something is wrong when the goods arrive?
Contact us with your order reference, affected quantity, clear photos or video, and a description of the issue. Keep the packaging and relevant samples for review. We compare the evidence with the approved specification and shipment records, then discuss the appropriate next step with you.
