Are you struggling to find the perfect lash tray for your needs? You’re not alone. Many distributors are left in the dark when it comes to selecting the right criteria for customizing their lash trays based on customer’s needs. This lack of information often leads to wrong choices, resulting in lashes that don’t meet the desired quality standards. The consequences? Poor outcomes for both the distributor and their clients. But fear not! In this blog, CharmLash is here to shed light on 9 essential criteria you need to know to order the perfect lash tray. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to flawless lashes with our expert guidance.
I. Material’s origin
When it comes to selecting the perfect lash tray, the origin of the materials matters more than you might think. Lashes are commonly crafted from three primary materials: human hair, real mink (though ethical concerns arise), and synthetic fiber, the most prevalent choice. However, not all synthetic fibers are created equal quality. To ensure consistent quality across your lash products, it’s crucial to opt for materials like German PBT fiber and Korean PBT fiber. These countries boast a wide array of options and maintain stringent quality standards, guaranteeing a reliable and uniform product every time.
II. Density of a perfect lash tray
The density of a lash tray plays a pivotal role in achieving the perfect set of lashes. A dense lash tray ensures that each lash strip is packed with no gaps or holes. This density not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes it easier for distributors to market the product through captivating visuals. Moreover, a denser lash tray means more lashes per strip, making it a cost-effective option for both distributors and customers. With a higher number of lashes per tray, distributors can serve a tray that lasts longer, ultimately leading to greater customer satisfaction. Depending on the thickness of the lashes, the number of lash strands varies per strip, ensuring versatility and catering to diverse preferences.
For example: With a lash strip length of 42mm, here is the approximate number of lashes for the densest strip:
III. The correlation between taper length and density
When it comes to lash trays, understanding the relationship between taper length and density is key. Generally, shorter tapers result in a thicker lash body, giving denser lashes. There are two main taper lengths:
- Accurate short taper (1-3mm) – Denser appearance
- Standard short taper (3-5mm) – Dense appearance
CharmLash provides 6 types of materials divided into 2 kinds of taper.
Accurate short taper (1-3mm) for a densest look
Standard short taper (3-5mm) for a dense appearance
IV. The correlation between taper length and black level
In lash extensions, the taper length plays a crucial role in determining the depth of blackness. Generally, shorter tapered fibers result in a darker appearance. When comparing the blackness of various material types, differences emerge due to their finish. Full matte finishes may show a slightly reduced blackness compared to glossy ones, while semi-matte finishes might also exhibit a slight decrease in blackness compared to glossy ones. Understanding this correlation helps in selecting the most suitable lash material to achieve the desired darkness level for your client’s preferences. However, all CharmLash products maintain a natural black shade.
V. The correlation between taper length and matte level
The relationship between taper length and matte level is essential in understanding the appearance of lash extensions. The longer the fiber is tapered, the more matte its appearance is.
VI. Glue tapes, Thickness & Materials for a perfect lash tray
Choosing the right glue tape is crucial for ensuring the success of your eyelash extension application. The adhesive tape plays a vital role in bonding the lash extensions to the backing, creating a perfect lash extension strip. At CharmLash, we offer a variety of glue tapes tailored to different thicknesses and materials to make it easier for lash artists to create fans.

That is why you should follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the use of glue tapes for optimal results.

VIII. Glue tapes & lengths for a perfect lash tray
Criteria 8 focuses on the correlation between glue tape widths and lash lengths in the context of eyelash extensions. When selecting glue tapes for this purpose, it’s essential to consider how the width of the tape aligns with the length of the lashes. Here’s a breakdown to guide your selection process: Firstly, we have the 3mm Glue Tape, which is suitable for lash lengths ranging from 8mm to 25mm. This wider tape offers ample coverage, making it ideal for longer lash extensions. On the other hand, the 2mm Glue Tape is suited for all types of lengths, ranging from 4mm to 25mm. The narrower width of this tape allows for precise application and better control over shorter lashes. By understanding the relationship between glue tape width and lash length, you can make informed decisions to achieve precise and efficient application of eyelash extensions.
IX. Skills of craftsmen
When sourcing lash trays, opting for a professional manufacturer with skilled craftsmen is paramount. Here’s why:
1. Stable curl
High-quality lash trays maintain their original curl for at least a year, ensuring long-lasting beauty when stored correctly.
2. Consistent length
Each lash in the tray is precisely crafted to be the same length, providing uniformity and symmetry in lash applications.
3. Super dense
Top-grade lash trays boast super dense lash arrangements, offering a lush and voluminous appearance to enhance any look.
4. Knot-free
Crafted with precision, these lash trays are knot-free and free from kinks, ensuring smooth and flawless application every time.
5. Residue-free
There is no residue left on the tape strip, guaranteeing clean and hassle-free application of lash extensions.
6. Perfect alignment
The positioning of the glue tape and two-sided tape are perfect alignment, facilitating easy removal and placement of lashes during application. If glue tape and two-sided tape are not aligned correctly, picking up lashes will result in badly taking out the whole lash strip, as you can see in the video below.
