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.

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.

This method is known for its ability to print on irregular and curved surfaces, making it a popular choice for eyewear.
