Creating the perfect lash set isn’t as simple as it seems. Every component of an eyelash extension tray plays a crucial role in the final result, from the materials used to the manufacturing process. Elements such as packaging design, lash material, tapered tip length, easy-to-remove backing, and even the glue tape on the tray all contribute to the application experience. When it comes to tape, most people immediately think of the white tape used to secure the lower lashes and map out the lash design. However, there's another essential type of tape—the one that holds the lashes in place on the tray. This often-overlooked component can be customized to enhance a lash artist’s fanning technique, ultimately impacting the quality of the application.

Committed to sustainable value in every experience, Lii Lash dedicates extensive research to perfecting the tape details on lash trays, offering customers a range of practical options. In this post, we’ll share our insights on glue tapes, helping you, as a lash artist, choose the best type for your preferred lash thickness and technique.

What Is Lash Extensions Glue Tape?

Glue tape, also known as adhesive tape, is a crucial component in lash management and application. As its name suggests, this tape features a glue layer that secures unused lashes on the tray while also helping maintain the shape of created lash fans.

More than just a securing agent, glue tape enhances the efficiency of lash application by allowing artists to effortlessly pick up lashes from the strip. Similar to double-sided tape, it not only holds the lashes neatly in place but also ensures they remain firmly attached to the label backing on the tray.

By keeping lashes well-organized and securely fixed on the tray, glue tape contributes to both the aesthetic appeal and long-term preservation of lash extensions. Lash artists can take advantage of its properties to create perfectly symmetrical fans directly on the strip while ensuring smooth removal. This simplifies the extension process and significantly speeds up application time.

All glue tapes provided by Lii Lash are manufactured to distinct standards and tailored to different usage needs while still maintaining the essential adhesion characteristics mentioned above.

How Glue Tape Enhances The Quality of Your Eyelash Extension Tray

A Small Detail, Yet a Big Influence!

The type and quality of glue tape provided by your supplier play a crucial role in both the overall quality of your lash trays and the ease of your lash application process. Therefore, in the process of searching and choosing the right type of tape from manufacturers, there are many important factors that you need to consider.

• Stickiness Level: Each type of glue tape has different stickiness, making it essential to choose the right one based on your preferred fanning method. For example, if you are a fan of the pinching technique, using tape with excessive stickiness can make it difficult to create a perfect fan by hand. At Lii Lash, our eyelash extensions come with a variety of tape options, each carefully classified by suitable lash thickness and length. This ensures lash artists achieve the best results in every application session.
• Easy to pick up: For lash artists, achieving high-quality results while optimizing application time is a top priority, especially during peak client seasons. While it holds the lashes in place on the tray, a good tape should also allow the user to remove the lashes from the strip quickly and easily with the cleanest results possible. The smoother the lift, the more seamless the application process, ultimately enhancing client satisfaction. Depending on their technique and personal preference, lash technicians can select tapes with varying adhesive strengths to best suit their workflow.
• Residue-Free Removal: Clean lashes are a must. Lash artists must ensure that the glue tape they use leaves no residue on the lashes after removal from the strip or on their tools, such as tweezers. Leftover residue can lead to clumping, preventing proper adhesion between the eyelash extensions and natural lashes. This not only hinders the effectiveness of the lash adhesive but also shortens the lifespan of the extensions. Additionally, residue buildup can compromise the overall aesthetics, making it difficult to achieve evenly applied, symmetrical lash fans.
• Heat Resistance: Temperature is an important external factor to consider during the eyelash extension process. Because of its adhesive properties, the quality of the glue tape on your lash tray can be affected by fluctuations in indoor temperature and exposure to heat from tools like setup lights. To ensure consistent performance, it’s best to use high-quality tapes that maintain strong adhesion even in warmer-than-normal conditions. This helps prevent issues such as lashes shifting or losing their hold, ensuring a smooth and efficient application process.
• Double-Sided Tapes: The ideal tape should firmly hold the lashes in place on the strip while allowing for easy removal with tweezers—without compromising the quality or shape of the lashes. Even when picking up multiple lashes at once, the tape should ensure a smooth lift, keeping the lashes in perfect condition for seamless application.

Now that you have a solid understanding of the key criteria for eyelash extension tapes, it’s time to explore the different types available. Finding the right glue tape will help you achieve the perfect match for your business's matchless performance.

A Complete Guide to Different Types of Glue Tapes

For individual black lashes, Lii Lash currently offers 11 different types of glue tapes, each designed to meet the specific needs of lash technicians. To simplify selection, we categorize these tapes by color, with each color available in multiple widths and varying levels of stickiness. We have analyzed all the options below to help you make informed business decisions.

Brown Glue Tape: Least Stickiness

This is the least adhesive tape in our selection, designed to securely hold very thin and delicate lashes. Brown tape comes in two variations, each tailored to different lash types. 

• The first option is a 2mm-wide brown tape with minimal adhesion of just 15%, making it ideal for strip lashes between 4mm and 15mm in length. Its narrow width offers greater precision and control, making it particularly useful for working with shorter lashes. 

• For those who prefer a slightly stronger hold, the second option is a 3mm-wide brown tape with a 20% tack level. This wider tape provides more surface coverage, ensuring longer lashes stay in place during application, suitable for lengths of 8-15 mm.

Suitable thicknesses and lash techniques:

With its minimal stickiness, brown tape is ideal for lashes with a thickness of 0.05, 0.07, 0.085, and 0.1. It is the perfect choice for lash artists who specialize in creating volume and mega-volume fans using techniques such as pinching, flower bouquets, or fanning on cups. Thanks to its low tack, this tape allows for effortless lifting of lashes from the strip, ensuring the roots remain perfectly intact without twisting. This makes it easy to create flawless mega volume fans in seconds, enhancing both precision and efficiency during application.

Orange Glue Tape: Least Stickiness

Welcome to our secret for flawless lash application—orange glue tape, the second least sticky option in our collection. This medium-tack tape features a vibrant color that enhances visibility, making it easier to lift lashes with precision. Lash artists using this striking orange tape can see the lash band, ensuring a more accurate and controlled fanning effect. Similar to our brown tape, the orange tape is available in two variations:

• 2mm-wide tape with 50% tack, ideal for lashes between 4mm and 15mm in length.

• 3mm-wide tape with 55% tack, designed for lashes between 8mm and 15mm in length.

With a stickiness level of 50-55%, this tape provides the perfect balance of grip and release. It securely holds lashes in place while allowing for effortless fanning, ensuring that fans stay intact after lifting. As a result, lash artists can create perfectly pointed fans in seconds, improving both efficiency and precision.

Suitable thicknesses and lash techniques:

Orange tape is ideal for lash thicknesses of 0.07, 0.085, and 0.1. It’s the perfect choice for lash artists who love using fanning methods such as Lonely Fan, Fanning on Strip, Wiggle, Rainbow, or Sticky Dot. With its balanced tackiness, orange tape enhances lash extension performance, ensuring a smooth and efficient application process. If you're looking to optimize your lash trays for precision and ease while using these mentioned techniques, this tape is a must-have in your toolkit.

Yellow Glue Tape

Another great alternative to orange tape, with a slightly stronger adhesive, is our yellow glue tape. This moderate-tack tape strikes the perfect balance—keeping lashes securely in place while still allowing for easy removal to create fans.

• Yellow Tape 2mm: 60% tack, ideal for lashes between 4mm and 15mm in length.

• Yellow Tape 3mm: 65% tack, ideal for lashes between 4mm and 15mm in length.

With its enhanced hold, yellow glue makes it effortless to craft perfectly thin volume fans directly on the strip. Once formed, the fans lift smoothly with minimal shedding or separation from the base, ensuring a clean and seamless application process.

Suitable thicknesses and lash techniques:

The recommended thickness for lashes that are used with yellow tape is 0.07, 0.085, or 0.1. For lash artists who want to have trays with this type of adhesive, you need to consider that your application technique is suitable for them. We recommend choosing yellow adhesive if you are familiar with the Lonely Fan, Fanning on Strip, Wiggle, and Rainbow methods.

Green Glue Tape

With green tape, you’ll experience a fairly strong stickiness with up to 80% adhesion in both 2 mm and 3 mm widths. This optimal level of tack ensures that lashes stay firmly in place while fanning directly on the tray, yet still allowing for easy peeling of lashes off the strip.

The 80% adhesion not only helps technicians create a strong, well-bonded fan base but also makes it an excellent choice for secure grip, precision, and effortless 1:1 application. Whether you’re crafting volume fans or working on classic lash extensions, green tape provides the perfect balance of hold and flexibility.

• Green Tape 2mm: 80% tack, ideal for lashes between 4mm and 6mm in length.

• Green Tape 3mm: 80% tack, ideal for lashes between 8mm and 15mm in length.

Suitable thicknesses and lash techniques:

Green tape is ideal for lash thicknesses of 0.085, 0.10, and 0.12. If you prefer fanning techniques such as Lonely Fan, Fanning on Strip, or Rainbow, this tape is an excellent choice. With its strong adhesion, green tape provides the perfect balance of stability and ease of use, ensuring a smooth and efficient lash application process.

Dark Brown Glue Tape

If you love high adhesion, we’ve got you covered! Our dark brown tape offers an impressive 95% adhesion, making it the perfect solution for those who need an ultra-firm hold.

When precision and stability are your top priorities, dark brown tape ensures your lashes stay rock solid in place, preventing any unwanted movement during application. If you're looking for maximum grip and control for your eyelash trays, this tape is the ultimate choice.

Thanks to its superior bonding ability, this tape is primarily used for classic lash applications and works seamlessly with fanning techniques such as Lonely Fan, Wiggle, Rainbow, and Sticky Dots. If you need maximum hold and precision, dark brown tape is the ideal choice for your lash trays.

Blue Glue Tape: Highest Stickiness

Introducing blue glue tape—the ultimate choice for maximum lash adhesion.
