Shell-shaped compact mirror on a wrist strap

Custom Compact Mirrors from Longtian: custom compact mirrors for museums, scenic attractions, enterprises and universities. Our MOQ starts from 50 pcs. Sampling usually takes 5–7 days after the digital proof is approved; mass production takes about 15–25 days after sample approval. Price depends mainly on case material, size, lid artwork process, single or double mirror, packaging and quantity; we do not publish a fixed price list — each project is quoted from your artwork and quantity. Sample and mold fees are quoted per design. Payment is T/T 30% deposit and 70% before shipment (PayPal for samples); trade terms are EXW, FOB Shenzhen or DDP by quote. An NDA is available on request.

A compact mirror puts artwork on an object people use every day, so museum shops and attractions print collection images or landmarks on the lid. We handle the design proof, sampling and production, then pack for export.

Crafts and processes

  • Metal or ABS compact cases
  • Epoxy dome or enamel lid artwork
  • Single or double mirrors
  • Hinged round, square or shaped cases
  • Printed insert cards

Compact mirrors combine a hinged case with one or two mirror inserts. The lid carries the artwork as an epoxy dome, enamel fill or print. Metal cases are plated; ABS cases are moulded in colour. The hinge and clasp are checked on the sample so the case opens smoothly and closes securely.

Lid artwork should be composed for a round or square crop with the hinge at a known edge. We show the hinge position on the proof. Epoxy domes deepen colour and protect print; enamel lids suit simpler spot-colour graphics. If the mirror will be sold in a museum shop next to pins and magnets, matching the colour palette across those products helps the counter display look coordinated.

Materials

  • Metal or ABS cases
  • Glass or acrylic mirror inserts
  • Epoxy dome, enamel or print on the lid
  • Plating for metal cases
  • Optional interior print

Metal cases feel more premium; ABS suits colourful low-cost ranges. Mixed orders that combine metal and ABS cases should keep lid art in one visual family so the range still looks coordinated on one shelf.

Sizes

  • Pocket compacts are commonly about 50–70 mm across
  • Larger vanity compacts are quoted per design

Lid art must stay clear of the hinge and clasp area.

Packaging

  • Poly bag
  • Backing card
  • Gift box
  • Foam insert for metal cases

Gift boxes turn mirrors into ready-to-give souvenirs. A short title of the artwork on the card helps visitors choose quickly at the counter.

Customization options

  • Case shape and size
  • Lid artwork process
  • Gold, silver or colour plating on metal cases
  • Gift box or backing card
  • Logo on the inside lid

Who orders them and why

  • Museums: collection-art mirrors for the shop.
  • Scenic attractions: landmark lid designs.
  • Enterprises: branded gift mirrors.
  • Universities: campus motif mirrors.

Design tips

Keep lid art simple enough to read at small size. Approve hinge feel on the sample. For museum shops, a short title of the artwork on the card helps sales. Avoid placing critical faces across the hinge line. For gift sets, pair mirrors with matching pouches or cards from the same collection story.

What affects the price (no fixed list)
