When it comes to eyelash extensions tape, we often think about the adhesive tape that is used to tape down the bottom lashes during the lash procedure. However, in this blog, as an experienced eyelash extensions wholesale manufacturer, we will take you to a totally new level in the lash world that not many lash manufacturers mention to – Glue tape that adheres the eyelash extensions to the backing to make a perfect lash extension strip.
1. What is the eyelash extensions adhesive tape?
Like eyelash material, this kind of adhesive tape plays an important role in the process of making eyelash extension trays. Simply put, it is just a double-side adhesive allowing the extensions line and the backing to be bonded together. This adhesive must be both sticky and versatile to function well as it is supposed to be. The side that is exposed on the backing must be strong enough to prevent the lash extension strip from being pulled off when the lash artists grab a large amount of lashes. Meanwhile, the top side should be tailored perfectly to make it easy for each lash artist to create lash fans while also holding lash fibers in place on the lash strip.

2. The importance of glue tape quality for perfect lash trays
The type and quality of eyelash extensions adhesive tape you use can significantly affect both the quality and convenience of working with lash extension trays.
- Easy Lash Pickup: For lash artists, it’s important to be able to pick up lashes from the tray quickly and easily. The right glue tape will have the right amount of stickiness and be easy to peel off, matching the artist’s preferred technique. This ensures that lashes come off cleanly, making the whole process smoother and more efficient.
- No Residue Left Behind: A good glue tape should not leave any sticky residue on the lashes or tools. Residue can interfere with the lash adhesive, which may affect the longevity and appearance of the extensions.
- Clear Visibility: The tape’s color or transparency plays a key role in making it easier for lash artists to see and pick up lashes accurately, especially when working with different lengths and styles.
- Lash Protection: The tape should allow for gentle removal of lashes without damaging or altering their shape, keeping them in perfect condition for use. It should also be strong enough to hold the lash strip securely, even when picking up several lashes at once.
- Heat Resistance: High-quality glue tape will maintain its adhesive power even in warmer conditions, which is important in environments with fluctuating temperatures or when using heat tools during the lash application process.
Choosing the right eyelash extensions adhesive tape involves considering these factors to ensure the lashes look great on the tray and perform well during and after application. The right tape helps the lash technician work with the lashes more efficiently, leading to a better, longer-lasting final result.

What to look for when choosing glue tape?
Think about the application techniques that you frequently use. Understanding these techniques will help you choose tapes that support accuracy and ease for each one.
Consider the experience levels when choosing glue tapes. Beginners might find it easier to work with tapes that are less sticky, allowing them to make adjustments as they learn. On the other hand, experienced technicians may prefer tapes with stronger adhesion to help speed up their application process and make things more efficient.
You must be careful when deciding the sizes of glue tape (2 mm and 3 mm) before placing your bulk order. Asiding from technique, the chosen glue tapes depend on the specific lengths. For example, 2mm eyelash extensions adhesive tape is a perfect options for both short lengths (4-7mm) and long lengths (8-25mm). However for 3mm glue tapes, we highly recommend to use it for long lengths (8-25mm) only. The main reason is because they are too sticky so it’s hard for lash artist to take the lashes off from the strip or create fans.
