What is the difference between the Malibu Basic and the Maverick Bamboo sunglasses
The Malibu Basic uses a polypropylene frame throughout, making it a cost-effective option for high-volume giveaways at expos, community days, and sports days. The Maverick Bamboo features a polished ABS frame with natural bamboo arms, which gives it a design-led, eco-conscious feel that appeals to businesses, councils, and brands with a sustainability focus. Both carry CE standard 100% UV 400 lenses covering UVA and UVB protection. The Malibu works well for large-scale campaigns on a budget, while the Maverick fits smaller, more considered gift runs where presentation and material story matter.
How do the Ultron Sunglasses compare to the Ryder Mirror Lens Bamboo for corporate gifts
The Ultron Sunglasses feature a carbon fibre patterned ABS frame with a retail-quality finish, making them a strong fit for premium corporate gift packs, conference bags, and branded giveaways where presentation matters. The Ryder Mirror Lens Bamboo pairs well with active, outdoor, or eco-focused brands — its bamboo arms and mirror lenses suit sporting clubs, product launches, and outdoor activations. Both sit at a mid to premium price point. Choose the Ultron for a bold, modern aesthetic and the Ryder for a natural finish with high-impact lens styling.
Can promotional sunglasses be ordered with different frame colours to match our brand
Frame colour availability varies by style, and not every promotional sunglasses model is available in a full colour range. Some styles come in a set selection of frame colours, while others are available in a single colourway with branding applied via pad print in your logo colours. If colour matching is important for your campaign, we recommend discussing this early so we can confirm what's in stock and whether your preferred colour is available in your chosen quantity. Our team can walk you through the options when you request a quote on 1300 85 50 35.
What branding methods are used on promotional sunglasses and where does the logo go
Pad print is the most common decoration method for branded sunglasses, applied to the frame front or the arms depending on the style and the size of your artwork. Screen print is available on selected styles where the surface area allows it. Both methods deposit ink directly onto the frame surface, producing clean, durable logos that hold up through regular outdoor use. Artwork is typically positioned on one or both arms, or on the nose bridge area of the frame. Our team will confirm the best placement option for your logo during the proof stage, before production begins.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom branded sunglasses
Minimum order quantities for promotional sunglasses vary by style and whether the item is a stocked product or a custom-made order. Stock items typically have lower minimums, often starting from around 25 to 50 units as a general guide, though this can vary and is not a guarantee for every style. Custom-made or overseas-manufactured options may require higher quantities. We recommend contacting our team on 1300 85 50 35 to confirm the exact minimum for the style you're interested in and to get a quote based on your required quantity.
How long does it take to receive branded sunglasses after placing an order
For stocked promotional sunglasses, production and dispatch typically takes five to ten working days from the date your artwork is approved, subject to stock availability. This timeframe covers the pad print or screen print process, quality checking, and dispatch to your nominated address. Larger orders or custom-made styles may require additional lead time. If you have a fixed event date, we recommend allowing extra buffer time and reaching out to our team early so we can confirm production scheduling and flag any potential delays before they become a problem.
Are the lenses on promotional sunglasses safe and do they meet any Australian standards
All sunglasses in our promotional range are fitted with CE standard 100% UV 400 lenses, which provide protection against both UVA and UVB radiation. UV 400 is the recognised lens standard that blocks virtually all ultraviolet light up to 400 nanometres. This applies across styles including the Malibu Basic, Maverick Bamboo, Ryder Mirror Lens, Malibu Natura, and Ultron. Handing out sunglasses with certified UV protection means your branded merchandise serves a genuine purpose, particularly at outdoor activations, sports days, and summer conferences — reinforcing positive brand association beyond the day you hand them out.
Can promotional sunglasses be used as part of a staff welcome pack or wellness kit
Promotional sunglasses work well as part of staff welcome packs, seasonal wellness kits, or onboarding merchandise bundles, particularly for teams that work outdoors or in high-sun environments. Styles like the Maverick Bamboo and Malibu Natura suit wellness-themed packs well, given their natural material story. The Ultron fits premium onboarding kits targeting professional or corporate audiences. Pairing sunglasses with other branded merchandise — such as drink bottles, caps, or tote bags — creates a cohesive pack that feels considered and useful. HR teams and marketing coordinators often use this approach for new starters, seasonal campaigns, and staff recognition initiatives.
