    Per click charges ?

    How much are the per click charges to manufacture a free form lens?
    Is the charge per pair or per lens ?
    Does the charge vary by lens design or brand ?
    How does a manufacturer set these charges, is it based on volume or can you purchase "bulk" clicks ?

    How easily can the laser marks be changed on a lens to make private label product?

    1) Varies from vendor to vendor. Some are very reasonable.
    2) Either way, it adds up to the same amount. If you do a half pair, you pay half of the full pair price. If you do two lenses, you pay twice the per lens price
    3) Yes, very much so.
    4) Depends on the manufacturer. Most are currently charging a flat rate to all their labs, although there can be some room for negotiation. It's easier for the labs NOT to just purchase bulk clicks, because then you never run out.

    5) Depends on your laser and the laser software, and how competent the person doing the changes it. I personally find it to be not difficult at all, but it can be time consuming. Some laser software is definitely easier to use than others.
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.
