PROJECT QUESTIONS

Clear answers for eyewear projects

Use these answers to understand the roles, development routes and review stages involved in an international OEM or ODM project.

ManufacturingWhere is D Marjan eyewear manufactured?

Eyewear manufacturing is based in Shenzhen, China. Dubai supports client communication, trading and project coordination; Guangzhou supports sales and operations coordination.

OEM / ODMWhat is the difference between OEM and ODM?

OEM is suited to a client that already has a design, specification or technical direction and needs engineering, sampling and production support. ODM begins with an idea or brand direction and adds design development before sampling and production.

Design & DevelopmentCan I provide my own eyewear design?

Yes. An existing design or technical direction can enter the OEM route for engineering review, sampling and production planning.

Design & DevelopmentCan I customize an existing design direction?

Customization can be discussed through the approved OEM or ODM route. The exact changes, materials and technical feasibility are reviewed for the individual project.

Design & DevelopmentCan D Marjan help with design and development?

Yes. The ODM route supports creative direction, design development, engineering, prototyping, sampling and preparation for production.

SamplingDo you provide samples?

Yes. Sampling is part of the development process and is arranged as a paid project stage. The sample scope and fee are confirmed for the individual project.

SamplingAre samples free?

No. Samples are paid because they involve development, materials and production work specific to the project.

SamplingHow does eyewear sampling work?

After the design and technical direction are reviewed, a prototype or sample is produced for evaluation. Fit, finish, detailing and production readiness can then be reviewed before approval.

Materials & LensesWhich eyewear materials are available?

D Marjan presents development directions using acetate, titanium, TR90, metal and selected technical materials. The suitable material is confirmed against the design, construction and project requirements.

Materials & LensesCan lenses be customized?

Lens options can be discussed as part of the collection specification. The suitable construction, finish and compatibility must be reviewed for the selected frame and project.

PackagingDo you support custom eyewear packaging?

Packaging development can be coordinated as part of a collection project. Structure, branding and presentation direction are reviewed against the approved brief.

Quality ControlHow is eyewear quality checked?

Quality review is coordinated through material, construction, finish, assembly and final-production inspection stages relevant to the approved project specification.

International ProjectsCan you support international clients?

Yes. D Marjan is positioned for international OEM and ODM projects, with Dubai supporting client communication and project coordination and China teams supporting development and manufacturing activity.

International ProjectsHow do the Dubai and China teams work together?

Dubai supports communication, trading and project coordination. Guangzhou supports sales and operations coordination, while Shenzhen handles manufacturing. Project details move between these functions as the collection progresses.

Company & Project FitWho is DMARJAN?

DMARJAN is an eyewear OEM, ODM and custom product development partner for brands, designers, creators, optical retailers and distribution businesses. Our eyewear manufacturing factory is located in Shenzhen, China, with sales teams and showrooms in Guangzhou and Dubai.

Company & Project FitIs DMARJAN a manufacturer in Dubai or Guangzhou?

No. Manufacturing is coordinated through our Shenzhen eyewear factory. Guangzhou and Dubai support product presentation, client communication, showroom visits and project coordination.

Company & Project FitWho is a good fit for a DMARJAN project?

We work with clients who have a real eyewear project, such as a new brand launch, a private-label collection, an existing brand extension, an optical retail programme or a distribution project. A clear product direction, target market, budget range and expected quantity help us recommend the right route.

OEM, ODM & CustomizationWhat is the difference between OEM and ODM eyewear?

ODM uses a ready-developed DMARJAN design with an existing mould, helping a brand start with a shorter development path. OEM is a new product development project built around your own design direction, structure, materials and specifications. The right route depends on your desired uniqueness, budget, quantity and launch plan.

OEM, ODM & CustomizationWhat can be customized on an ODM style?

Depending on the selected style and production feasibility, ODM customization may include frame colour, lens colour, your brand logo and limited design refinements. The existing frame structure, dimensions and mould cannot be changed. A structural change may require a new OEM development route.

OEM, ODM & CustomizationCan I provide a sketch, AI image or reference frame?

Yes. You may share a sketch, AI visual, reference frame or inspiration image. We use it to understand your preferred direction, then review design feasibility, material options, production route and intellectual-property boundaries before confirming a project plan.

MOQ & SamplesWhat is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

The standard MOQ for fully customized eyewear is 300 pairs per model. Projects using verified existing moulds may start from 100 pairs per model. Eligible first orders from new customers may also start from 100 pairs per model in up to two colours, subject to project review. Sports eyewear normally starts from 500 pairs per model.

MOQ & SamplesDo you offer ready stock, 10-piece orders or free samples?

No. DMARJAN produces eyewear to order and does not offer ready stock, 10-piece orders or free samples. We can discuss an appropriate sample or first-order route after reviewing your project.

MOQ & SamplesHow many finished samples are included in a standard sample order?

A standard sample order usually includes three finished sample pairs. The final quantity, colours, configuration, fee and shipping arrangement are confirmed in the project quotation.

MOQ & SamplesHow long does finished sample development take?

Finished sample development normally takes approximately 30–50 days after the design and specifications are frozen, the required sample route is confirmed and the agreed payment conditions are met. Timing varies with design complexity, material availability, tooling, special processes and revisions.

Production, Quality & DeliveryWhen does bulk production begin?

Bulk production begins after the applicable sample or production specification is approved, the required payment has been received and verified, and the project is formally released for production.

Production, Quality & DeliveryWhat is the typical bulk-production lead time?

After production release, acetate eyewear normally takes approximately 40–50 days and metal eyewear approximately 50–60 days. TR90, sports eyewear, mould-dependent projects and special materials or processes are confirmed project by project. Production time and international transit time are separate.

Production, Quality & DeliveryCan DMARJAN guarantee a delivery date?

We provide a project schedule based on approved specifications, payment status, production planning and the selected shipping route. Lead times are planning ranges, not unconditional delivery guarantees. Any binding delivery commitment must be stated in the applicable commercial documents.

Production, Quality & DeliveryHow do you manage quality?

Quality requirements are defined for each project through the approved specifications, materials, finishes, logo, assembly and inspection requirements. Sample approval supports bulk-production preparation but does not replace the agreed inspection and release checks for each order.

Production, Quality & DeliveryCan you arrange testing or certification?

Testing and certification requirements must be discussed before quotation. The applicable standards, scope, documents, cost, timing and issuing party depend on the product and target market and are confirmed project by project.

Payment & ShippingWhat is the standard payment schedule?

Unless otherwise stated in the official quotation, PI or contract, custom eyewear projects normally use 20% project initiation payment, 40% bulk-production payment and 40% final balance. Sample-only orders, tooling, special materials, testing and custom packaging may use different terms.

Payment & ShippingWhich payment methods and currencies can you support?

Depending on the project, invoicing entity, customer location and settlement currency, payment may be arranged by corporate bank transfer, secure credit-card payment, PayPal or other methods confirmed in writing. Please pay only to a company account or secure channel shown in an official DMARJAN quotation, PI or contract.

Payment & ShippingIs freight included in the product price?

Freight is included only when the official quotation or PI clearly says so. The applicable Incoterm, shipping method, insurance, duties, taxes, customs clearance and local-delivery responsibilities are confirmed for each project.

Payment & ShippingWhich shipping terms can you offer?

Depending on the order, destination and service availability, DMARJAN may offer EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP or DDP. DDP is available only after the destination, customs, duties, taxes and carrier service have been reviewed.

Payment & ShippingHow long does international shipping take?

Eyewear is normally shipped by air. Indicative transit time is approximately 7–10 days for most destinations and 10–15 days for certain countries or regions. Larger eyewear-case orders may use sea freight, which is typically around 30–60 days depending on the route and service. Transit times are estimates and are separate from production time.

Starting Your ProjectWhat information should I prepare before contacting DMARJAN?

Please share your target market, customer profile, product type, reference designs, estimated quantity per model, target launch date, material or lens preferences, budget range and delivery country. A video consultation is recommended for new brands or projects with detailed requirements.

Starting Your ProjectCan I visit a showroom or arrange a video consultation?

Yes. You can request a video consultation or ask about a visit to our Guangzhou or Dubai showroom. Please contact us in advance so the appropriate products and project team can be prepared.
