    Exactly. I find it funny how expensive some clips can become. I prefer just the inexpensive ones, because they are just an emergency solution. The sunglass solution is the best solutions.

    How does e-clip work? Do you have to send the frame to them? Or is the image transferred to them electronically somehow? Do the lenses ever pull loose from the clip or is the bond solid?

    Uni-clip is nice but (Apples and Oranges)

    OKO-Custom Clips matches colors and textures identically to the eyewear.

    We also tint lenses matching samples at n/c to out clients.



    There is nothing standard about true custom work.
    OKO is worth waiting for. :cheers:

    I believe your net profit is not everything.

    Customer satisfaction and repeat business is.



    Don’t misunderstand me, I think Uni-clip is great for that customer who is in a hurry.



    Some people go for fast-food, some people sit down for steak.



    We want to impress our client, our goal is for them to go WOW.



    We create objects of a truly singular beauty and originality

    PVC therm forming sheet is a great material for custom clip on 2.

    ----Fits skin tight on any frame design(metal, plastic, rimless).
    ----No gap reflection between Rx lens and sunlens.
    ----no ugly bars.
    ----no prongs.
    ---- Possible 100% shape/size/color match.
    ----Super lightweight.
    :idea:

    We use uni-clip because it's easy and looks great with rimless frames. Does your product has a rimless version?

    Yes, they can be polarised

    Uni-Clip can work with lens thickness from 1.5mm to 2.2mm. Therefore both Poly and CR39 polarised plano can be used on Uni-Clip. We provide more than 20 types of plano lenses with various lens features, e.g. mirror, AR, hydrophobic, gradient, both Poly and plastic. See details on www.uni-clip.com which will soon(in a few days) have some interesting information on our LifeStyle lenses. You can also check us out at VEE, booth #MS1019 under Acuity Optical USA, Inc.

    Talking about figuring time into profit formula, you probably take more time than 15min(average time to do a Uni-Clip in house) to pack a frame and send out an order to a specialised clip maker. Of course, if you don't glaze in house, there are many labs already carrying Uni-Clip. Send me email to get a lab list and I can point you to those who can give you great deals.

    Uni-clip vs OKO clip!

    All rimless self-assembled clips system are designed for mass market just like Honda Civic. It is profitable and it allows optician to put up an instant clip while customer is waiting. The profit is not super high, however, the product is acceptable by mid-lower end market which is the mojority market. I am sure that Uni Clip should be super popular near Mexican boarder.

    Full-rim custom clip such as OKO clip needs to have frames sent to the lab in order to match the shape/size/color. Morelikely, end users wear high-end eyewears such as Cartier, Chrome Heart wouldn't mind to spend $XXX and time to wait for the jewelry clip to match their expensive frames! It is a clip sytem with Mercedes Benz title!

    Both clips are great and so are the cars! They are made for the same purpose but totally accept by different markets!
