Plastic Frame Materials

Posted June 10th, 2010 by Peggy : Ask Peggy

Here’s a little info on what all of those plastic frame materials are all about.

  • We feature handmade acetate plastic quite a bit since it allows a frame to be colored in many rich hues, such as different shades of brown or beautiful rich tortoise. Sometimes you will see two or three colors layered in an acetate frame.
  • Injection molded frames come in all sorts of beautiful shapes and colorizations.They fit really well and are available at great prices.
  • Sometimes you will see nylon temples. These are really great for active lifestyles since they are really tough and lightweight.

I go back and forth between plastic and metal frames. Which are my favorites? It depends. When I use my plastic sun readers for a headband, I don’t have to worry about those little nose pads getting stuck in my hair!!!

    Love it. I use my readers for a headband, too! I have a question for you, Peggy. Is it possible to put sunglass reading lenses into your readers? Thanks.

    Hi Becca,
    Good to see you here! Yes, we can put sun readers into many of the frames on the site. In fact, several styles are available on the site. Simply type “sun readers” into the search section and a lot of styles will pop right up.

    Thank you. I found exactly what I was looking for. I needed a pair to wear when I’m working in my garden.
