Tips on Choosing Branded Sunglasses
Before You Begin: Choose the Style That Represents Your Brand
If you're looking for something classic that suits all face shapes, the Wayfarer is the type of glasses you’ll find in most of our catalogue. One of the recommended styles is this model due to their affordable price and wide range of colours available.
Next, you can't go wrong with the Aviator, which has become a timeless trend. Though it harks back to past eras, it's making a comeback to stay. It’s ideal for faces with a more squared shape. If you’re looking for merchandising in this style, you can rely on the this one.
Finally, there are the round glasses, which are better suited to square or rectangular faces.
And, of course, don’t forget to pair the custom sunglasses with other products to protect yourself from the sun, such as caps or straw hats.
Materials Available to Set Trends
Each material has its unique aesthetic and advantages. Here are some tips to help you choose the one that best fits what you're looking for:
- RPET: A recycled and more sustainable material made from plastic bottles. It’s lightweight and more eco-friendly, so you’ll find various products on our website made from it, such as branded lanyards or bottles.
- Plastic: Economical, lightweight, durable, and easy to clean.
- Bamboo: An easily cultivated material that grows quickly, making it more sustainable. Additionally, glasses made from this material are durable and suitable for laser engraving.
- Cork: Offers a natural look and is lightweight.
- Wood: Elegant and strong. Along with bamboo and cork, it is more eco-friendly and also suitable for engraving.
Understand the Different UV Protections for Your Glasses
- 100% Protection: The most effective protection against ultraviolet rays, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays.
- UV400 Protection: Blocks UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometres, which means between 99% and 100% protection.
- UV380 Protection: Provides protection from these rays up to 380 nanometres, which is quite significant but doesn’t block longer UV rays.
If you want to learn more about this topic, you can refer to this article from the WHO on ultraviolet protection.
And Don't Forget That Each Model Has Its Own Lenses
If you’re looking for lenses that reduce glare and reflections, we recommend mirrored lenses, which have a reflective coating on the outside.
On the other hand, if you're looking for something more suited for outdoor activities, we recommend polarised sunglasses, which reduce glare from shiny surfaces (like water or snow) and can help reduce visual fatigue in sunny environments.
Within the product sheet, you’ll find details about the protection and lenses of the promotional sunglasses, as well as other specifications like the material of the temples. If you still have any doubts, don’t hesitate to contact our team.
How Do Our Branded Sunglasses Filter Light?
There are various ways in which light is filtered through the glasses, which is not related to UV protection. It's important to consider both factors when choosing these items.
- Category 0: Allows between 80% and 100% of visible light to pass through. Ideal for indoor use or cloudy days.
- Category 1: Lightly tinted lenses that allow between 43% and 80% of light to pass through. Suitable for low-light days.
- Category 2: Moderately tinted lenses that allow between 18% and 43% of visible light to pass through. Perfect for sunny days that are not too intense.
- Category 3: Dark lenses that allow between 8-18% of light to pass through. For bright, sunny days.
- Category 4: The darkest lenses, allowing less than 8% of light to pass through. Designed for extreme sunlight conditions, like in high mountains or deserts. However, their use is not recommended for driving as they could significantly reduce visibility.
Finally, it’s worth noting that most of our models are category 3.
Additional Tips About Sunglasses
It's very important to check both the lens category and the UV protection offered, as even clear custom sunglasses could have UV protection but still allow a lot of light to pass through. Conversely, darker sunglasses might filter out less light but provide less protection.
Lastly, although custom sunglasses are visible to many people, the printed logo is small. We recommend creating summer packs and pairing them with other merchandise, such as a branded beach towel.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Sunglasses
What are the printing areas for sunglasses?
It all depends on which ones you choose. The most common printing is on one of the temples, adding a detail that, although small, can be eye-catching and will identify the brand. If the sunglasses come with a case or pouch, it's likely these can also be printed with your logo. Finally, there are specific models that allow, in a small size and on a specific side, the logo on the lens. The most common techniques are pad printing and screen printing due to their versatility and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, it's worth noting that bamboo or cork glasses allow for laser engraving. Within the product page, you can see the available printing areas.
Why give promotional sunglasses as a gift?
Branded sunglasses are suitable for the warmer months, as they are most commonly worn then. However, they are also frequently used on excursions, while driving, or on sunny days in autumn or winter. These can be ideal as festival merchandise or as gifts for a large number of clients, as they are an affordable, useful personalised product that appeals to a wide audience—everyone wears them. They can also be paired with other summer gifts, such as promotional t-shirts, towels, branded speakers, balls, or flip-flops with a logo.
What are the sizes of the sunglasses?
We offer sunglasses for both adults and children. For adults, the temples are usually 135, 140, or 145 millimetres. For children, these are slightly smaller, typically recommended for ages between 3 and 12. You should always consider that this measurement is made vertically, meaning the distance between both ends of the temple is measured.
What is the EN ISO 12312-1 standard?
It is a European standard that sets the requirements for quality, safety, design, manufacturing, and labelling for sunglasses, including requirements for protection against ultraviolet rays, light transmission, optical quality, impact resistance, scratch resistance, and dimensional stability. Sunglasses that meet this standard must carry a label indicating the protection category, the level of visible light transmission, and the UV ray filter class.
Do you offer eco-friendly sunglasses?
Yes! Some of our models are made with recyclable and recycled materials (such as RPET). Additionally, others are made from bamboo or cork, which are more environmentally friendly materials. Explore our catalogue and combine style with a commitment to planet care.
Do you have polarised sunglasses?
Yes. In our collection, you will find several polarised sunglasses, which are indicated in the product description. These are preferred for driving and other activities, as they significantly reduce glare reflected from surfaces, helping to avoid visual discomfort.
