Promotional Sunglasses
Promotional sunglasses are one of the most widely distributed outdoor promotional products, combining everyday usefulness with highly visible branding. The category includes Plastic Frame Sunglasses, Wrap Sunglasses, metal frame sunglasses, novelty sunglasses, sunglass straps and accessories. While frame styles vary considerably, most products are designed to provide eye protection while being comfortable enough for regular outdoor use. Differences in frame construction, lens shape and fit allow sunglasses to suit a wide range of audiences and activities.
Sunglasses are commonly distributed at outdoor events, sporting activities, tourism promotions, festivals, schools and summer campaigns. Their combination of practicality and visibility has helped make them one of the most enduring promotional categories. Accessories such as sunglass straps can further extend usability by helping keep sunglasses secure during sport, recreation and travel.
Some Popular Sunglasses
Choosing The Right Frame Style
Frame style is one of the biggest factors influencing how promotional sunglasses are used. Plastic frame sunglasses remain the most popular option because they are available in a wide range of colours and suit many different events and audiences. Metal frame sunglasses often provide a more refined appearance and are commonly selected for corporate promotions, hospitality programs and premium giveaways. While both styles perform a similar function, they appeal to different recipients and promotional objectives.
Wrap sunglasses are designed with a more curved profile that extends coverage around the sides of the face. This makes them particularly popular for outdoor sport, cycling, fishing, boating and active recreation. Sunglass straps are often paired with wraparound styles to help keep eyewear secure during movement. Understanding where the sunglasses will be worn can often make frame selection easier than focusing on appearance alone.
Plastic frame sunglasses are often the most popular choice because they are available in a wide range of colours, are economical for larger quantities and suit many different audiences. They are commonly used for festivals, sporting events, community programs and summer promotions.
Plastic frame sunglasses are generally preferred for large-scale promotional campaigns due to their colour options and affordability. Metal frame sunglasses are often selected when a more refined appearance is required for corporate gifts, hospitality programs and premium promotions.
Wraparound sunglasses are particularly popular for outdoor sport, boating, fishing and active recreation because the curved design provides greater side coverage. They are often chosen when the sunglasses will be used in more demanding outdoor environments.
For products intended for outdoor use in Australia, many organisations prefer sunglasses that comply with AS/NZS 1067.1. Compliance helps provide confidence that the sunglasses have been tested against recognised requirements for UV protection and performance.
For sporting events, boating activities, schools and outdoor recreation, sunglass straps can be a valuable addition. They help reduce the risk of sunglasses being dropped or lost and are often retained long after the original event.
Plastic frame sunglasses generally provide a larger decoration area and can accommodate larger logos and more prominent branding. Metal frame sunglasses often have a more limited print area due to the narrower arms and frame construction.
Jennifer from our sales team says: A pair of sunglasses used at a music festival may have very different requirements to sunglasses intended for fishing, cycling or boating. The activity often provides a better guide to product selection than the frame style alone.
Designed For Outdoor Use
Promotional sunglasses continue to be a popular choice because they combine practicality with strong visibility in outdoor environments. Plastic frame sunglasses remain the most widely used option for events and large-scale promotions, while metal frame sunglasses are often selected for more premium campaigns. Wraparound sunglasses provide additional coverage for sport and active recreation, and accessories such as sunglass straps can improve usability in demanding conditions. By matching the frame style to the intended activity, organisations can create a product that recipients are more likely to wear long after the original event has finished.
