Launching your own colored contact lens brand is exciting. But choosing the wrong manufacturing partner can turn that excitement into a nightmare.

1. Certifications Non-Negotiable

Contact lenses are medical devices. Minimum requirements: ISO 13485, CE Mark for Europe, FDA Registration for US, KFDA for Korea.

2. MOQ Flexibility for New Brands

Look for MOQ of 100-300 pairs per SKU, mixed color options within total MOQ, sample programs before bulk commitment.

3. Lead Time Reality Check

Stock items 5-7 business days, custom colors 15-20 days, custom packaging 20-30 days, sample production 7-10 days.

4. Communication Quality

Good signs: responds within 24 hours, clear detailed answers, proactive updates, English-speaking account manager.

5. Customization Capabilities

Standard: custom lens colors, private label packaging, logo printing. Advanced: custom diameters, base curves, special effects, silicone hydrogel.

6. Sample Quality and Process

Never place bulk order without testing samples. Good sample process: 30-50 USD per SKU, refundable on bulk order, 7-10 day lead time.

7. Pricing Transparency

Get everything in writing: per-pair pricing, sample costs, packaging costs, shipping terms, payment terms. Watch for hidden mold fees, setup fees, inspection fees.
