PET injection-molded, holds 1-12 cluster fans. Clear or black. Tray face accepts foil stamp or UV spot for brand mark.
Inner Lid
Printed paperboard, 300gsm. Matte, gloss or soft-touch finish. The piece shoppers see first when they lift the box.

Cluster Lash Packaging FAQ
Everything Buyers Ask Before The First Order
Scroll for what buyers compare before the first order. Spec, MOQ, lead time, Incoterms, compliance paperwork. Your question not here? Jason answers on WhatsApp inside two hours.
What is the MOQ on custom-printed packaging?+
500 units per unique artwork and dieline. Reorders drop to 200 units once the tooling and plate are in our library. Full tooling (dieline, printing plates, foil stamps) is kept on file for 24 months after your last order.
How long does packaging artwork take from brief to proof?+
Three working days for the first digital proof, assuming you supply logo + brand colors + rough layout direction. One revision round included; additional rounds billed at design-studio rate. Physical proof (printed sample) ships 5 working days after sign-off.
Can I supply my own artwork or do you design it?+
Both. Supply print-ready PDF (CMYK, 300dpi, 3mm bleed, outlined fonts) — we go straight to proof. Or brief us: logo + 2-3 reference boxes you like + brand colors. Our in-house studio turns the brief in 3 working days.
What packaging formats fit the cluster lash tray?+
Hinged magnetic box (standard, premium shelf), slide-drawer box (budget shelf), blister pack with hangtab (peg-hook retail), and shelf-ready carton (volume retail chains). All four accept the full custom printing stack.
Do I need to apply for a UPC/EAN barcode before packaging?+
Yes, if the SKU goes into retail chains. The barcode printed on the box must register under your brand with GS1. We can leave a UPC placeholder in the dieline and insert your real code before final print — adds one working day.
Which payment methods settle an order?+
100% prepayment on every order. T/T wire, PayPal and Wise accepted. Our finance desk issues the proforma invoice with the quote so you confirm bank details before transfer.
Which Incoterms and freight lanes run?+
DHL, FedEx, UPS air express on samples and small orders. Sea LCL on case orders. FCL on 20' or 40' HQ containers. Full Incoterms — EXW, FOB, CIF, CPT, DDP — booked to match your customs flow.
Which certifications sit on file?+
FDA factory registration, MSDS safety data sheet, ROHS material compliance, SGS independent lab test and CPSR for EU markets. Compliance desk sends live PDF the same working day on request.
How does pre-shipment QC run?+
Our QC bench samples 5% of every batch across cluster count, band straightness and tray face finish. Each lot ships with a QC report PDF for sign-off before the carton leaves the dock.
Can I visit the factory in person?+
Walk-ins open any weekday. Our team picks you up from Qingdao Liuting Airport or Pingdu station. Live WhatsApp video tour on request if travel does not fit.
Does the factory grant design exclusivity?+
Yes, on signed ODM contract. Country or region exclusivity attaches to a custom spec against a defined minimum reorder volume and term.
How does reorder scheduling work?+
Our account lead maps the reorder to your sell-through pace, holds priority production slot ahead of peak season and keeps a standing stock buffer for repeat buyers.
Do you ship direct to Amazon FBA?+
Yes. FNSKU barcode label, polybag with suffocation warning, carton size and weight to Amazon shipment spec. Our logistics team ships straight into the FBA receive center on your shipment ID.
What happens if a tray arrives defective?+
Send a defect photo and the batch code printed on the tray base. Our claim desk replaces the defective quantity free on the next shipment.
How does the first order start?+
WhatsApp or email Jason with the brief — brand name, target market, lash category, order volume, timeline. Our account team returns a sample pack, tiered price sheet and a factory video slot by end of the next working day.
Which lash fiber do you run?+
100% Korean-grade PBT synthetic fiber. Vegan, cruelty-free, no mink. Matte or glossy finish. Our fiber desk inspects every batch for curl consistency.
Can one PO mix cluster lash styles?+
Yes. Mixed-SKU wholesale is standard on this line. Pack across the full cluster catalog if the reorder cycle calls for it — MOQ holds per spec at 100 sets, not per PO.
