A bezel for die level packaging of a camera module may include (a) a recessed lip surrounding an aperture of the bezel and facing in a first direction, wherein the recessed lip is configured for seating thereon an image sensor, and (b) a planar rim surrounding the aperture and facing in a second direction opposite the first direction, wherein the planar rim is configured for bonding thereto a wafer-level lens unit implementing a wafer-level lens for delivering light to the image sensor through the aperture, wherein transverse extent of the planar rim across the aperture in a dimension orthogonal to the first direction exceeds corresponding transverse extent of the recessed lip.
