    Wave Is Private Lable worth it?

    If you had the chance would it be worth it to have a private lable collection made. Does anybody know a company that would do private lable small runs?

    CAC optics in LIC makes and distribute nice metal frames. I am not shure about know but couple of years ago a lot of Gruen optical private labels frames were made by them.
    They can do your private name or give you demos with 3-4 different names they have .
    Its not going to cost you much and you dont have to buy 500 of one style and one color!
    If you cant find their # post and
    i will look it up tomorow

    Thank you so much for all your help. I seem to not be able to find their number. If you have it I would be very thankful. Do they to metal only, do you know anyone who does Zyl. aswell.

    Again thank you so much for your help.

    They do make ZYLes but I am not crazy about them.
    Their # is 718 937-8383 or 800-680-9670

    You ca even go there.
    Try to speak to the owner (he does not speak any english)
    On a nice size order you can get 50% off their price list

    Thank you for the info. I just tried calling them but they claim they do not do private lable. The nice lady on the phone told me they just carry their own brand that they manufacture in China...

    I will keep looking. Thank you again for your help.
