What is the difference between wraparound sunglasses and classic frame sunglasses for branded orders
Wraparound sunglasses curve around the face and offer greater UV coverage on the sides, making them a better fit for active outdoor settings like sports days and outdoor activations. Classic frame sunglasses sit flat across the face in a traditional shape and are a strong fit for general giveaways, school fundraisers, and staff packs where a clean, familiar silhouette is preferred. Both styles accept pad printing. Wraparound frames work well for construction companies, sporting clubs, and outdoor events. Classic frames are popular with schools, not-for-profits, and conference giveaways across a wide age range.
What is the difference between polarised sunglasses and mirrored lens sunglasses for corporate gifts
Polarised sunglasses use a lens filter that reduces glare from reflective surfaces, making them a practical choice for recipients who spend time outdoors or near water. Mirrored lens sunglasses have a reflective coating on the outside of the lens, which gives a bold, fashion-forward look but doesn't reduce glare the way polarised lenses do. For premium conference gifts or settlement packs, polarised styles with UV400 protection read as a more considered gift. Mirrored styles appeal to creative brands, product launches, and marketing campaigns where visual impact matters as much as function.
Are retro sunglasses and sport sunglasses suitable for the same type of event
Retro sunglasses and sport sunglasses serve different audiences and settings, so choosing between them comes down to your brand tone and event type. Retro frames, with their round or square vintage shapes, are a strong fit for community days, fundraisers, and creative brand campaigns where a playful or distinctive look is part of the brief. Sport sunglasses have a flexible, secure frame built for active use and are popular with sporting clubs, outdoor activations, and health-focused brands. Both handle pad printing well and sit at a budget-to-mid price point suitable for larger orders.
Can floating sunglasses be branded the same way as other sunglasses styles
Floating sunglasses can be branded using pad printing, which is the standard method applied to most sunglasses frames in this range. The branding placement is typically on the arm or front frame, keeping the logo visible without interfering with the buoyant design. These styles are a practical pick for marine businesses, resort operators, outdoor tourism brands, and any organisation whose recipients spend time around water. They sit at a mid price point and are available in select frame colours. Our team can confirm current stock options and branding placement specifics when you request a quote.
What branding methods are available for promotional sunglasses
Pad printing is the most common branding method for promotional sunglasses and works across nearly all frame styles, delivering a clean single-colour or multi-colour logo on the arm or front face. Screen printing is available on styles with broader flat surfaces. Laser engraving is an option on select polarised and premium styles that include metal accents, producing a precise and permanent mark. The right method depends on your frame material, logo complexity, and colour requirements. Our team reviews your artwork and recommends the best fit for your chosen style before production begins.
How long does production take for branded sunglasses orders
Most branded sunglasses orders on stock items are completed within five to ten working days from artwork approval, subject to stock availability. This timeframe covers proofing, approval, branding, and dispatch. Orders with more complex artwork, multiple frame colours, or larger quantities may require additional time. If you're ordering for a specific tradeshow, conference, or community day, we recommend contacting our team as early as possible so we can confirm availability and schedule production to meet your date. Rush options may be available on selected styles.
What quantity do I need to order for promotional sunglasses
Minimum order quantities for promotional sunglasses typically start at around 25 to 50 units for most stock styles, though this can vary depending on the specific item and branding method. This is a general guide rather than a fixed rule, as quantities differ across styles and suppliers. Larger orders often unlock better pricing per unit, and our team can advise on the most cost-effective quantity for your budget and audience. Schools, charities, and not-for-profits ordering for community days or fundraisers are welcome to request a quote on 1300 85 50 35 to discuss what works for their group.
Can I order sunglasses as part of a branded gift pack or merchandise bundle
Branded sunglasses work well as part of a larger gift pack or staff welcome kit, particularly for outdoor-focused brands, sporting clubs, and HR teams building onboarding packs. They pair naturally with sunscreen, lip balm, caps, water bottles, and other lifestyle items that share a practical outdoor theme. Corporate marketing teams often combine sunglasses with one or two other branded items for conferences, product launches, or settlement gifts. Our team can help you select complementary products and coordinate branding across multiple items so everything arrives ready to pack and distribute.
