Introduction

Starting your own eyewear brand might sound overwhelming—especially if you’re new to the field. But don’t worry, with over 35 years of experience, May&Jay Co., Ltd. is here to make this journey as smooth as possible. We’re with you every step of the way, from brainstorming product ideas to crafting custom designs, developing high-quality samples, and rolling out a market-ready eyewear line. Whether you’re leaning toward OEM (where you’re in control of the specs) or ODM (choosing from our existing designs), our team has all the resources and know-how to help you launch a successful brand.

Step 1: Market Research and Brand Positioning

Understanding your target market is key. May&Jay will help you get a clear picture of trends, customer preferences, and any gaps in the market that your brand can fill. We’ll work with you to carve out a unique spot for your brand, analyzing what competitors are doing and finding a niche you can own.

For example: Are you aiming to make high-performance eyewear for athletes? Maybe something stylish for fashion-conscious adults? Or perhaps protective glasses for kids? This choice will shape your design and marketing approach.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Collaboration Model (OEM or ODM)

May&Jay offers two main collaboration options:

• OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing): You give us your specs, and we’ll manufacture the product exactly as you envision. This option gives you full control over everything—from design to packaging.
• ODM (Original Design Manufacturing): Choose from our ready-made designs, and we’ll brand them with your label. This approach gets you to market faster, skipping much of the design and development work.

Step 3: Design & Concept Development

With your collaboration model picked, it’s time to dive into design. If you go with OEM, our designers will work closely with you to turn your ideas into reality, from lens types and frame materials to color combinations. If you choose ODM, you can browse our catalog and personalize a few elements like colors and branding.

Things to Consider:

• Lens Options: Polarized, photochromic, or basic UV400 lenses.
• Frame Material: Choices include TR90, acetate, and stainless steel.
• Customizable Elements: Logo placement, packaging, and color schemes.

Step 4: Prototyping and Sampling

Before going into full production, May&Jay will create a prototype based on your design. This is a crucial step, as it lets you feel the product in hand, checking out its look, feel, and functionality. We’re happy to make adjustments based on your feedback to make sure it’s just right.

Step 5: Compliance and Certification (FDA, CE, RoHS, etc.)

Each market has its own certification requirements. May&Jay has your back when it comes to ensuring your products meet these standards, whether it’s FDA certification for the U.S., CE marking for Europe, or RoHS for environmentally friendly materials. We’ll guide you through each compliance process, keeping the path clear for global expansion.

Step 6: Pilot Run and Production

Once your prototype gets the green light, we’ll move to a pilot run to confirm everything’s in line with your expectations. After that, it’s time for full-scale production. With May&Jay’s state-of-the-art facilities and skilled team, you can count on efficient, high-quality production every time.

Step 7: Branding and Packaging

Your brand’s image is what makes you stand out in the market. We offer a range of customizable packaging options, from eco-friendly materials to luxury designs, to add that special touch to your brand. Private labeling is also available, so you can build a strong brand identity right from the start.

Step 8: Quality Control and Inspection

Quality is everything to us. We maintain strict quality standards at every stage, from raw material checks to final product testing. Every batch goes through a thorough inspection to ensure it meets durability, safety, and market standards.

Step 9: Logistics and Shipping

May&Jay also takes care of the logistics, helping you navigate international shipping rules and options. We offer flexible shipping solutions—whether by air or sea freight—and full tracking, so you’ll always know where your products are.

Step 10: Post-Sales Support and Market Expansion

Our support doesn’t end with delivery. May&Jay offers post-sales support to keep your customers satisfied. And as your brand grows, we’re here to help you expand your product range and break into new markets.
