Product launches and rooftop events

Match frame colour to the campaign palette with a tone-on-tone laser engraving on the temple — understated, gallery-worthy, photographs beautifully on a welcome table.

Staff summer gifts and conference delegate packs

Bamboo or cork frames with a debossed logo, presented in a branded drawstring pouch with a printed microfibre cloth — the gift people actually wear home.

Retail gift-with-purchase and tourism partners

Polarised Cat 3 lenses in recycled-PC frames pair beautifully with beach bags, drink bottles and SPF — the bundle that sells the season.

Our festival sunglasses ended up in every attendee's sunset photo — we watched them tag us all weekend without being asked. The team matched our campaign yellow perfectly on the first proof, which is every brand manager's dream.

Zara · Head of Brand
independent hospitality group

The bamboo sunglasses with the engraved logo felt considered in the hand — exactly the tone we wanted for our summer client gift. Delivery was a few days ahead of when we needed them, beautifully packed in the branded pouches we specced.

Lara · Marketing Manager
Melbourne luxury property developer

We reorder our summer eyewear with Sense2 every season. They remember our Pantone beautifully and always suggest something fresh — this year it was a tonal full-wrap arm print that our creative director adored.

How to choose

Start with the moment, not the frame — that's the part we enjoy most about an eyewear brief. If the sunglasses live for a single festival day in a crowd of 20,000, a lightweight PC frame at AU$2.80-$5 with a bold full-colour arm print is the smartest maths; the brand travels home in someone's hair and the unit economics hold at scale. If the eyewear needs to earn a permanent spot in the glovebox (staff gifts, VIP lounges, premium retail), step up to bamboo, cork, recycled-PC or polarised styles. The weight in the hand is the first thing people notice on a welcome table. Lens category matters more than people expect. Category 2 lenses suit general daywear and indoor-outdoor events; Category 3 is the standard for bright Australian summers and the one we recommend for anything worn outdoors for more than an hour. All our frames carry UV400 protection and comply with AS/NZS 1067.1:2016 — the Australian standard for sun protection, and a detail worth mentioning in the schedule because it's what makes the gift feel considered rather than giveaway. Branding method drives both price and feel. Full-colour digital arm print is how you get gradient, photography or multi-colour logos on the outside of the temple — perfect for festival and launch work. Pad print sits flatter and suits single-colour logos on curved temples. Laser engraving on bamboo and metal reads as premium because it never wears off. For 1,000+ briefs we can mould frames in a custom Pantone colour so the whole pair becomes the brand — the pen that stops someone mid-sentence, in eyewear form. On MOQ: most custom sunglasses start at 100-250 units. Premium wood, cork and polarised styles can drop to 50 on pilot runs. Full custom-colour frame moulding typically starts at 1,000. At 2,500+ expect 30-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,500. And always order a sample. Forty-eight hours from request to your desk. The creative director holds it, slides it on, and the decision makes itself.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb: at 100 units with a 1-colour arm print, standard PC-frame sunglasses sit around AU$2.80-$5.50, recycled-PC or rPET frames AU$4.50-$8, bamboo or cork frames AU$9-$18, and polarised premium styles AU$18-$38. Full-colour digital arm print adds AU$0.80-$1.60 per unit. Laser engraving adds AU$0.90-$2 per unit. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once off. Custom Pantone-moulded frames from 1,000 units, quoted per project. Branded drawstring pouches from entry-level; printed microfibre cleaning cloths from AU$1.20.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for custom sunglasses?

Most branded sunglasses start at 100-250 units. Premium bamboo, cork and polarised styles can drop to 50 on pilot runs. Fully custom Pantone-moulded frames typically start at 1,000. For 2,500+ briefs expect 30-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,500.

How long do custom sunglasses take to produce and deliver in Australia?

Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval. Many stocked frames are branded in 1-4 business days; 3-5 day express is available on 400+ SKUs. For festival and launch briefs landing late, we can often courier same-week on decorated stock lines to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

What branding methods work best on sunglasses?

Full-colour digital arm print is the most popular — gradient, photography and multi-colour logos on the outside of the temple. Pad print suits single-colour logos on curved frames. Laser engraving on bamboo and metal reads as premium and never fades. For 1,000+ briefs we can mould frames in your custom Pantone so the whole pair becomes the brand.

Are your sunglasses UV-rated and compliant with Australian standards?

Yes. All our promotional sunglasses carry UV400 protection and comply with AS/NZS 1067.1:2016 — the Australian standard for sunglasses and fashion spectacles. Lens categories range from 2 for general daywear to 3 for bright outdoor conditions. Polarised options are available on premium lines.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your actual arm artwork are available on larger runs. After 30 years of eyewear briefs, we know the fit, lens tint and print register are what people decide on — never the spec sheet alone.

Do you offer eco-friendly or sustainable sunglasses?

Yes. Our eco eyewear range includes bamboo frames, cork temples, rPET frames made from recycled plastic bottles, recycled-PC and biodegradable wheat-straw composite styles. Branded microfibre cleaning cloths in recycled polyester and FSC kraft cases are available to complete the sustainability story.
