Hey guys, I run a semi successful e-commerce company and am designing a line of sunglasses right now with a great designer. We are in the design phase right now and have prototyping coming into play with a 3D printer I have. Once we have settled on some designs I will need to have them done in acetate from a factory. I am combing through dozens of factories right now like I have in the past but thought I'd see if any of you have any recommendations? I'd appreciate any kind of leads you may have. Im only looking for factories that work with acetate for now. Thanks

I have sent you a link to a top producer in China, but don't forget that Chinese factories tend to copy designs and you might find your design is on the market befoe you get a prototype.

They do promise to make the prototype very quickly, and they specialize in Cellulose Acetate molding.

I don’t think you sent a link in the message unless there’s something wrong on my end.

Fortunately the brand is established with a large customer base. While it would suck to have a copy immediately released I understand that’s part of the game. It’s already happening with my other products most likely so I continue to focus on providing value through my own website. I’ll have to hire someone to play wack a mole here soon enough! Thanks for the hookup Walter!

I knew this. I sent some designs I wanted made for another kind of product and the “molding fee” was totalling £4500 for all products. I waited a couple of weeks then they listed my products. I purchased them at £2/ piece. Lol.

It was there when I clicked on SEND. I have sent it again.
