Lightweight Acetate Optical Frames | Ready Stock & Low MOQ
Designed for buyers looking for the look and finish of acetate without an overly heavy frame profile, this optical style combines a slim cellulose acetate construction with structured rectangular geometry.
The front is clean and lightweight in appearance, while the temples use an embedded metal core inside the acetate for added structural support and a distinctive layered look. With Ready Stock availability and low MOQ options, this style is suitable for optical retailers, wholesalers, startups and growing eyewear brands.

Design & Construction
Slim Cellulose Acetate Front
The frame uses cellulose acetate with a relatively slim rim profile. Its clean rectangular shape gives the frame a modern appearance without relying on excessive decoration.
The acetate surface can be finished in solid, translucent or patterned colors, allowing the same basic frame design to work across different optical collections.

Wire-Core Temple Construction
The temples combine acetate with an internal metal wire core. In translucent colorways, the core becomes part of the visual design rather than remaining completely hidden.
This construction also gives the temple some flexibility for fitting adjustments while retaining the appearance of a solid acetate frame.
Multi-Stage Surface Finishing
The acetate is processed through machining, tumbling and polishing stages to achieve a smooth finished surface. Edge treatment and polishing are particularly important on a slim acetate frame because they affect both the appearance and the feel of the finished product.
