Methods Of Logo Custom On Optical Frames and Sunglasses

When it comes to branding optical frames and sunglasses, there are 5 methods generally used to custom logo. In this article, we’ll explore the most popular logo customization methods: Silk Screen Printing, Pad Printing, Laser, Engraving and Epoxy, and Stamp Printing, and their colors, position and surface. 

Silk Screen Printing

Silk printing is applying different color of ink through a mesh onto the surface of the frames. We can only print one color one piece each time. This method is ideal for applying logos in bold, single colors and is widely used in the eyewear industry for its versatility and cost-effectiveness.

The printing effect is a bold, vibrant logo that stands out on the frame. However, the durability of the print may vary depending on the quality of the ink and the wear and tear the frames undergo. This method is best for simple designs and logos that require high visibility.

Pad Printing

Pad Printing is a technique that transfers ink onto the frame using a silicone pad. Firstly the logo or other printing details are etched onto a metal plate. Ink is applied to the plate and then picked up by a soft, silicone pad. The pad presses onto the frame, transferring the inked logo. This method is known for its ability to print on irregular and curved surfaces, making it a popular choice for eyewear.
