single vision lenses vs progressive

Single Vision Lenses Sourcing is an independent sourcing desk for business buyers preparing a single vision lenses vs progressive comparison brief. We do not manufacture lenses, and we do not claim authorised brand stock. Use one line per model. Mixed families belong on separate requests so corridor scope, coatings and packing notes cannot blur.

Lines every factory must restate on a vs-progressive brief

Buyer brief

One single vision lenses vs progressive family per request. Put a second family—such as a progressive corridor beside a single vision blank—on its own line so MOQ and packing notes cannot blur. Name the offered form from the inquiry options before factories price different indexes or hard coats under one SKU label.

Every supplier quote should restate lens design, material or high index path, power range or plano status, exclusions and packing unit. Costs that often need separate confirmation include anti-reflective coating stacks, freight, duty and tooling for a new blank. We line replies up on one written scope so you can compare total procurement cost without inventing a market-average discount.

Open items

Lead time, MOQ and warranty stay blank until the supplier states them for the quoted lens model. Freight, duty and specialty coatings remain excluded unless each reply writes them in.

Limitations stay explicit: we do not invent MOQ, lead time or warranty; a lower unit price that drops hard coat or packing is not a completed comparison; and a company brochure is not the model file for the SKU being priced. Read the procurement checklist when you need a reusable request template, then send the requirement when the brief is ready.

Start with one written scope that names whether the buyer wants single vision or progressive geometry, then material or index, coatings and quantity by model with the US destination. When two factories reply, we restated those fields so a lower unit price cannot hide a different packing unit or a silent corridor omission. Sample paths belong in the brief before bulk quantity releases. Optional target budget notes may use a currency and a per-unit or whole-order basis; high-end, mid-range, budget or undecided is a buyer preference, not a verified factory grade.
