What Lash Supplier Specs Should I Send?
Send the lash supplier specs that control production, packaging, pricing and lead time. A supplier can help refine the plan, but a quote is stronger when the buyer gives a structured spec sheet.
| Spec area | Example | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Product format | Classic tray, volume tray, premade fan, wispy tray | Controls material and production method |
| Curl | C, CC, D | Controls final styling result |
| Thickness | 0.05 mm, 0.07 mm, 0.10 mm | Affects weight and look |
| Length | 8-15 mm mix, 10 mm single length | Controls tray layout |
| Finish | Matte, silk, cashmere | Affects touch and appearance |
| Tray card | Row count, label fields, barcode | Affects packaging and SKU control |
| Private label | Box, sleeve, sticker, carton mark | Affects artwork and MOQ |
| Destination | Country and shipping method | Affects freight and landed cost |
Spec 1: Tray Type and Product Format
Start with the product format. A supplier cannot quote accurately if the buyer only says "lash trays" without defining the tray type.
Common formats include:
- Classic lash trays
- Volume lash trays
- Premade fan trays
- Wispy trays
- Mixed length trays
- Single length trays
- Specialty style trays
Each format can have different material use, row setup, production handling, QC needs and packaging options. If you are building a small first order, choose a narrow product range first instead of launching too many styles at once.
Spec 2: Curl Selection
Curl affects the final look and the buyer's customer expectation. A supplier needs the curl before preparing a quote, sample plan or tray card.
Common curl choices include:
- C curl for a softer everyday lift
- CC curl for a more noticeable curl
- D curl for a more dramatic lift
If you sell to salons, match the curl plan to your customer base. If you sell retail trays, make sure the tray card makes the curl easy to identify. For style-focused wholesale planning, see lash mapping styles wholesale.
Spec 3: Thickness or Diameter
Thickness, also called diameter, affects the weight and visual density of the lash extension. A buyer should not leave thickness open unless they are asking for a sample recommendation.
Examples:
- 0.03 mm for very fine volume use
- 0.05 mm for lighter volume looks
- 0.07 mm for common volume trays
- 0.10 mm for fuller classic or hybrid needs
- 0.15 mm for classic-style applications
Thickness also affects how the buyer positions the product. A 0.05 mm volume tray and a 0.15 mm classic tray are not interchangeable products.
Spec 4: Length Map or Single Length Range
Length is one of the most important quote details because it controls tray layout and buyer expectations. A buyer can choose single lengths, mixed trays or style-specific maps.
Examples:
| Length plan | Use case |
|---|---|
| 8 mm single length | Inner-corner or refill use |
| 10 mm single length | Common classic tray option |
| 8-15 mm mix | General mixed tray |
| 9-12-14 mm map | Style-specific lash mapping |
| Short-length tray | Lower lash or natural look collection |
If the product is tied to a style such as doll eye or cat eye, include the map. For example, a doll eye plan may need center lengths to be emphasized, while a fox eye plan may need longer outer lengths.
Spec 5: Finish, Color and Fiber Feel
Finish and fiber feel affect how buyers describe the product to their customers. A supplier should know whether the buyer wants a matte, silk, cashmere or other finish before quoting.
Common buyer language includes:
- Soft matte black
- Deep black silk finish
- Cashmere-style softness
- Lightweight volume feel
- Natural dark finish
- Gloss-free professional finish
Avoid using only subjective words such as "premium" or "nice." Pair the description with sample approval. The final approved sample should become the reference for the bulk order.
Spec 6: Row Count, Tray Card and Label Needs
The tray is not only the lash fibers. It also includes the card, row count, length marks and labels that help salons and buyers use the product correctly.
Clarify:
- Number of rows per tray
- Length marks on the card
- Curl and thickness display format
- Brand name or product name
- Barcode or SKU label
- Batch code
- Reorder reference
These details are especially important for private label buyers. If the card or label is unclear, the product can be correct but still hard to sell, count or reorder.
For carton and label planning, see lash carton labels.
Spec 7: Private Label Packaging Level
Private label specs should define how much branding the buyer needs. A simple sticker is different from a printed box, tray card, sleeve and carton label system.
Private label levels can include:
- Stock tray with simple label
- Branded tray card
- Logo sticker sheet
- Custom sleeve
- Custom box
- Insert card
- Barcode label
- Carton mark
If the buyer wants private label packaging, the supplier may need artwork files, logo version, color direction, box size, text copy and barcode placement. These details can affect MOQ and lead time.
For full packaging planning, see private label lash extensions.
Spec 8: MOQ, Destination and Reorder Plan
MOQ, destination and reorder details help the supplier quote more accurately. A buyer asking for "100 trays" may receive a different quote depending on how many SKUs, how many packaging versions and where the order is shipped.
Send:
- Target sample quantity
- Target bulk quantity
- Number of SKUs
- Destination country and city
- Preferred shipping method if known
- Reorder expectation
- Launch timeline
The International Trade Administration's Know Your Incoterms guidance explains that Incoterms help define buyer and seller responsibilities for shipment, insurance, documentation and customs clearance. This is why destination and shipping terms should be part of the quote conversation, not an afterthought.

FAQ
What specs should I send to a lash supplier?
Send product format, curl, thickness, length map, finish, row count, tray card needs, packaging level, SKU or barcode needs, quantity, destination and sample approval notes. These details help the supplier quote and produce more accurately.
Should I send curl, length and thickness before asking for a quote?
Yes. Curl, length and thickness affect product type, material use, tray layout and buyer expectation. If you are unsure, ask the supplier for a sample recommendation, then lock the approved specs before bulk production.
What packaging specs matter for private label lashes?
Important packaging specs include logo placement, box type, tray card text, label design, barcode placement, insert card, carton label and packaging proof approval. These details can affect MOQ and lead time.
How do lash specs affect MOQ and lead time?
More SKUs, more packaging versions and custom label work can increase production complexity. Clear specs help the supplier calculate MOQ and lead time more accurately before the buyer approves the order.
Can a supplier recommend specs if I am not sure?
Yes. A supplier can recommend sample combinations based on your target buyer, style and launch plan. But after testing, the approved sample should be converted into a written spec sheet for production and reorder control.
