1. OEM & ODM Manufacturing Services
What is the difference between OEM and ODM contact lens manufacturing?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): BLMG Optical.Ltd. manufactures colored contact lenses based on your exact proprietary artwork, custom pattern specifications, unique color palettes, and custom brand packaging designs. You maintain exclusive design ownership while leveraging our medical-grade manufacturing plant.
ODM (Original Design Manufacturer): You select from our extensive library of over 500 production-ready, market-tested iris patterns and lens parameters. We print and pack these validated designs under your brand name, allowing for rapid product launches with zero R&D delays.
Can BLMG Optical.Ltd. assist in launching a new private label contact lens brand?
Yes. We offer complete full-chain brand setup services for emerging optical business owners and cosmetic retailers. Our Brand Solutions Team guides you step-by-step through pattern catalog selection, physical sample evaluation, blister foil typography, box structural design, barcode setup, and regulatory compliance clearance for your destination market.
Can you create custom lens designs from artwork or physical reference samples?
Absolutly. Our in-house R&D team can replicate or refine artwork concepts, high-resolution digital files, or physical reference lenses. We perform color separation, dot-matrix pattern proofing, and trial lens molding to ensure precise on-eye vibrancy, natural blending, and anatomical comfort.
2. Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) & Sampling
What are your Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) for custom private label orders?
We tailor MOQs to match your brand's growth phase:
- Small Batch OEM Program: Starting from 100 pairs per design/color for selected catalog styles. This allows niche brands to test target markets with minimal financial risk.
- Yearly Disposable Lenses: Standard OEM production starts around 500 to 1,000 pairs depending on power range distribution.
- Daily & Monthly Disposable Lenses: Full custom foil blister production typically requires 500 boxes per SKU (or 10,000 boxes total for custom-printed aluminum foil runs). For smaller initial runs, custom adhesive label options are available from 1,000 boxes.
Can I order physical samples for quality testing prior to mass production?
Yes. BLMG Optical.Ltd. encourages thorough sample evaluation before bulk contract signing. We provide sample packages to verify lens hydration, oxygen permeability, color encapsulation, edge profile comfort, and visual clarity under optical instruments.
3. Production Workflow, Lead Times & Logistics
What is the step-by-step process for placing an OEM/ODM order?
- Requirement Briefing: Share target replacement schedule (daily, monthly, yearly), power distribution, diameter, base curve, and quantity.
- Quotation & Agreement: Commercial terms, technical specifications, and timeline approval followed by a standard 30% production deposit.
- Artwork & Proofing: Digital pattern rendering, blister foil design, and packaging box proofing.
- Sample Approval: Physical pre-production sample confirmation by the client.
- Mass Manufacturing: Automated cast-molding, double-sided sandwich printing, hydration, sealing, and 100% optical inspection.
- Final QC & Dispatch: Sterilization verification, batch record release, 70% balance settlement, and international air/sea freight shipment.
What are your typical production lead times and shipping turnaround?
Standard catalog ODM orders are prepared for dispatch within 7 business days. Custom private label OEM orders featuring bespoke packaging generally require 20 to 30 days following artwork finalization and sample sign-off. Global express shipping (DHL/FedEx/UPS) delivers within 3 to 7 business days worldwide.
What payment terms does BLMG Optical.Ltd. accept for B2B orders?

4. Regulatory Compliance & Quality Control
Which regulatory medical certifications support global exports?
Contact lenses are strictly controlled Class III medical devices. BLMG Optical.Ltd. operates under an audited ISO 13485 Quality Management System. Our export documentation packages include:
- CE Compliance Certificates for European markets.
- FDA Establishment Registration & Device Listings for the United States.
- NMPA (CFDA) Manufacturing Licenses & Free Sale Certificates (FSC).
- GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) cleanroom audit documentation.
How does BLMG Optical.Ltd. ensure pigment safety and wearing comfort?
We utilize proprietary multi-layer sandwich color encapsulation technology. Bio-compatible color pigments are embedded securely between two clear layers of hydrogel material. This prevents direct pigment contact with the cornea or palpebral conjunctiva, ensuring zero color fading, smooth surface wettability, and high oxygen transmissibility throughout the wearing cycle.
What is your policy and quality assurance guarantee for defective goods?
Every production lot undergoes rigorous 100% visual inspection, dimensional verification, and autoclave sterilization testing. In the rare event of a verified manufacturing defect or packaging discrepancy reported within the quality guarantee period, BLMG Optical.Ltd. provides technical evaluation within 1-2 business days and issues direct product replacements or credits within 7 business days.
