What is the minimum order quantity for private label colored contact lenses?

Stock designs with your own label typically start from around 300 pairs per color. Fully custom patterns usually require higher volumes because printing plates and mould setup are fixed costs. Velalens confirms exact MOQ per SKU after reviewing your design, wear cycle and target markets.

Which wear cycles and materials can be produced?

Daily, monthly, half-year and yearly replacement cycles are available in HEMA hydrogel, with silicone hydrogel options for buyers who need higher oxygen transmissibility. Plano, myopic powers, toric and multifocal designs are offered on selected series.

What documents are provided for import and registration?

Each SKU can be supplied with quality system certificates, product test reports, material declarations and labeling files that support registration with regulators such as the US FDA, EU MDR notified bodies and other national authorities. Buyers should confirm local representative and prescription rules for their own market.

How long do sampling and mass production take?

Stock samples usually ship within 3 to 7 days. Custom pattern samples typically take 2 to 3 weeks, and mass production of private label orders generally takes 4 to 6 weeks depending on volume and packaging complexity.

Enterprise Core Competence

Why Global Optical Brands Choose Our Chinese Cleanrooms

Contract lens manufacturing is fundamentally a medical device discipline, not a cosmetics operation. Our enterprise infrastructure combines automated high-speed cast molding with micrometric pigment encapsulation.

Sandwich Encapsulation Matrix

No direct pigment-to-cornea contact. Organic micro-pigments are permanently sealed between two bio-inert HEMA or silicone hydrogel layers, eliminating surface leeching and friction wear.

Micro-Pigment Depth: 12-16µm Non-Cytotoxic Inks

Ultra-Smooth Rounded Edges

State-of-the-art computer-controlled lathe-cut diamond tooling and cast mold polishing ensure an ultra-thin bevel design. This promotes tear-fluid exchange and reduces upper-lid friction during every blink.

Center Thickness: 0.08mm Edge Profile: Micro-Tapered

Audited Global Dossiers

We supply full product master files (DHF/DMR), ISO 13485 cleanroom validation reports, accelerated aging data, bio-burden audits, and sterile barrier testing ready for direct submission to US FDA and EU MDR bodies.

ISO 13485:2016 Certified CE MDR Ready

Production Excellence

Precision Cast Molding: From Monomer to Blister Pack

Every single cosmetic lens manufactured at our factory undergoes an automated, six-tier cleanroom journey designed to eliminate optical aberrations, bubble inclusion, and decentralized dot printing.

Automated Optical Inspection (AOI): 100% digital camera inspection for pinhole defects and print decentralization.
Saline Equilibrium & Extraction: Multi-stage ultrasonic saline washing removing 100% of residual monomers.
High-Temperature Steam Autoclave: Terminal moist-heat sterilization ensuring SAL (Sterility Assurance Level) of 10⁻⁶.
Laser-Etched Lot Coding: Full batch traceability from polymerization raw material lot to destination retail unit.

Phase 1: Rapid Prototyping

Send our in-house optical lab your digital design, target iris hue, or reference Pantone palette. We formulate customized liquid-pigment inks, execute cast-press sampling, and ship physical verification prototypes in under 14 days.

Phase 2: Packaging Customization

We engineer turn-key packaging solutions: blister sealing foil thickness, box die-cuts, multi-language instruction leaflets (IFUs), barcode serialization, and luxury magnetic rigid collection cases designed for luxury retail.

Phase 3: Scalable Production

Full cleanroom automation allows flexible batch scheduling. Start with an introductory pilot run of ~300 pairs per color, with systematic scaling capacity to hundreds of thousands of blister units monthly as your brand grows.

Clear Regulatory & Commercial Answers

Colored Contact Lenses Procurement FAQ

Essential guidance for optical supply chain directors, category managers, and beauty brand founders evaluating manufacturing contracts in China.

What is the standard MOQ for private label custom colored contact lenses?

For existing catalog patterns in standard PolyHEMA with your custom private-label branded box and blister foil, our introductory MOQ starts at approximately 300 pairs per colorway. For bespoke iris pattern development requiring custom steel molding or micro-printing plate fabrication, initial order quantities typically begin around 1,000 pairs per SKU.

How does your factory ensure the pigment never touches the human cornea?

We utilize an advanced multi-layer sandwich cast-molding encapsulation technology. The medical-grade inorganic and organic pigments are pad-printed or digital-injected onto a base layer of clear hydrophilic monomer, which is subsequently encapsulated by an upper clear polymer envelope. The entire sandwich is then polymerized via thermal/UV curing, isolating color pigments permanently.

What international regulatory documentation do you provide for port clearance?

Each production batch is backed by comprehensive quality compliance files: Certificate of Analysis (COA), ISO 13485:2016 Quality Management System certificates, biocompatibility reports (ISO 10993 cytotoxicity, ocular irritation, systemic toxicity), Free Sale Certificates (FSC), sterile barrier test validations, and technical files designed for direct submission under EU MDR and US FDA 510(k) frameworks.

Can we produce corrective prescription diopters, toric, and multifocal lenses?

Yes. In addition to plano (0.00 power) cosmetic novelty contact lenses, our casting tooling supports precise optical corrections ranging from -0.50D to -8.00D (in 0.25D and 0.50D increments). Selected series can also be produced as cosmetic toric lenses for astigmatism correction or multifocal designs for presbyopic beauty wearers.

What are the lead times for physical sampling versus mass production?

Stock catalog samples for quality, material, and color evaluation dispatch within 3 to 7 business days via international air express. Custom design pattern prototyping generally takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mass production of private-label branded orders, including customized blister sealing, packaging box printing, and terminal autoclave sterilization, takes between 4 to 6 weeks.

What options exist for primary packaging: Glass Vials vs. Blister Packs?

We provide both packaging pathways. Medical-grade borosilicate glass vials with aluminum tear-off crimp caps are popular for extended-wear (half-year and yearly) lines. Polypropylene (PP) saline blister bowls with multi-layer barrier foil lids are ideal for high-volume daily disposable and monthly replacement series, offering modern unboxing ergonomics and reduced freight weight.
