Eyeglass cases are a type of casing used to protect and cover a pair of glasses. Glasses can not be used for a long time without protection of eyeglass case, no matter how good your glasses are. Eyeglass cases can also store glasses anytime, anywhere.
Eyeglass cases not only protect your glasses, but can also be a personalized decoration. There are various styles, colours, materials and patterns for glass cases, there are also personalized customized glasses cases, such as customized exclusive logos and names.
There are four types of materials for glasses cases: leather glasses cases, fabric glasses cases, plastic glasses cases and metal glasses cases. I will introduce features, advantages and disadvantages for four types of glass cases.
Leather eyeglass cases have become a fashion trend. These type glass cases are made of genuine leather, synthetic leather or vegetable-tanned leather. The interior will be lined with soft fabric or other materials to protect the glasses from scratches and impacts.
Leather has excellent protection and durability, which can extend its lifespan. It also has a fashionable and premium feel, making it popular among many young people and business professionals. However, leather has poor water resistance and requires regular maintenance to prevent dryness and mold.
Fashion designers often use leather materials to create unique and stylish eyeglass cases, which not only showcase a high-end or personalized taste but are also convenient to carry.
Most high-end eyewear stores also offer custom leather eyeglass cases to meet customers' personalized needs.
Upscale glass cases provide custom leather eyeglass cases, meeting customers' personalized needs.
Eyeglass cases made primarily from fabric. The main materials include cotton, linen, canvas, and silk. They are lightweight, stylish, and eco-friendly.
Fabric eyeglass cases have become one of the fashion trends. Compared with metal or leather glass cases, the price is lower and lightweight, easy to carry. Fabric eyeglass cases can be designed in different style glass cases with a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures.
However, compared to leather or metal, fabric has poorer abrasion resistance. The service life is not as long as that of a metal eyeglass case.
Due to the diverse patterns of fabric material eyeglass cases, they are suitable for fashion brands and designers to create innovative eyeglass cases. They are also suitable for consumers who enjoy handcrafting.
Eyeglass cases are made of materials such as polycarbonate (PC), ABS plastic, polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE). They are also the most common eyeglass protection accessories on the market.
The cost of plastic materials themselves is relatively low, and the production process is relatively simple. Compared to metal or thick hard glass cases, the plastic material is very lightweight, making it more convenient to carry, without too much burden. Most plastic materials have good waterproof properties and effectively protect glasses from the effects of humid environments.
However, the texture of plastic eyeglass cases is not as good as that of leather ones, and their lifespan is not as long as that of other cases.
If you want an inexpensive eyeglass protection solution, a plastic eyeglass case is an ideal option.
It refers to eyeglass cases mainly made of metal materials such as iron and aluminum. The main features of metal eyeglass cases are high hardness and resistance to deformation. They are mainly used in the design and production of high-end eyeglass cases.
The metal material has high hardness and is not easily deformed, which can effectively protect the glasses from being crushed, so that they keep long-term lifespan. Different visual effects and textures can be achieved through various metal surface treatment processes such as polishing, brushing, sandblasting, and anodizing.
However, the cost of metal glass cases is higher than other materials.In addition, Its weight is heavier than other materials, making it inconvenient to carry outdoors.
For high-value glasses, metal eyeglass cases provide more reliable protection and can effectively prevent damage caused by accidental impacts. To match high-end glasses, metal eyeglass cases are an excellent choice.
Designer brands typically cater to consumers with high demands for quality, so the material of the eyeglass case must reflect high quality and individuality. Metal eyeglass cases are an ideal choice. Metal eyeglass cases not only extend their lifespan and better protect the glasses, but thanks to the malleability of the metal material, they can also display more patterns and designs.
Leather is an environmentally friendly material and a fashion trend. High-quality leather is not only durable but also easy to process. Leather eyeglass cases can showcase both high quality and refined taste.
Compared to the production of virgin plastics, the production process of PCR materials generally requires less energy, reduces pollution, and enables more efficient use of resources, thereby promoting the sustainable development of the eyewear industry.
Using wood not only serves as an environmentally friendly material to promote sustainable development and demonstrate social responsibility, but its natural beauty and wood grain can also enhance the value and uniqueness of eyeglass cases.
EVA material has strong compressive strength. Prevent deformation or breakage of glasses and withstand external pressure with EVA material sunglasses cases. EVA is a lightweight material that does not add extra weight to the glasses case, making it easy to carry and an optimal choice for travel. Most importantly, compared to some high-end materials such as leather or metal, EVA is relatively low-cost and can reduce the production cost of glasses cases.
The difference is protection capability between hard glass cases and soft glass cases. Prevent the lens from being scratched and worn, providing better protection for the glasses with the metal material of hard glass cases and soft foam lining in the hard glass cases. Soft glass cases have limited ability in protection for glasses, however, soft glass cases are more portable and lightweight than hard glass cases.
Some consumers consider that even though the styles, colors, and sizes of hard eyeglass cases have become increasingly diverse, they still aren't very fashionable. Soft glass cases get away from the traditional style, look more fashion and creative.
There are different advantages and disadvantages for every materias of glass cases, you can select suitable materials of glass cases based on your preference and business needs. For example, plastic glass cases are the best choice if you prefer lower cost, leather and metal glass cases are suitable for premium clients, soft glass cases and EVA material glass cases are more portable for going out or traveling, if you pursuit fashion and eco-friendly， PCR and leather glass cases may be the best choice.
Hard Glass Cases:Use a soft cloth and mild soap often suffice for cleaning.
