Eyelash Manufacturer Indonesia: How to Source and What to Check
Indonesia has an established eyelash manufacturing industry, and Purbalingga in Central Java is one of its hubs. This page is for buyers deciding whether to source from an Indonesian factory: why buyers do it, how to tell a good manufacturer from an average one, and what minimums, lead times and shipping look like. MCI Eyelashes is one of those manufacturers, so we use our own terms as the worked example.

Why buyers source eyelashes from Indonesia
Indonesia is known for handmade strip lashes, made by experienced hands with consistency from batch to batch. Many factories export, so they are used to working with buyers abroad.
The practical reasons buyers give are simple. You can deal with the manufacturer directly instead of a trading company, which removes a middleman margin and puts you in touch with the people making your order. Many factories work with brands that are still growing, so minimums are within reach. And curl, length, material and packaging can be built to your brief.
None of that makes every Indonesian factory good. The next section is how to check the one you are talking to.
How to tell a strong manufacturer from an average one
Ask these before you pay anything:
- Can I see the factory? A real manufacturer will do a video call from the production floor or send production photos. If they refuse, walk away.
- Can I have samples first? A manufacturer confident in its product sends samples before a bulk order.
- What is the minimum, and can styles be mixed? The answer should be per style and in writing.
- How long does production take, and do you meet it? Ask for the lead time in writing.
- What documents can you provide for my market? Ask for copies you can check, not logos on a website.
- Will you answer in clear English? Slow or evasive replies before an order predict service after it.
What MCI Eyelashes makes
We make handmade lashes in mink, silk, synthetic and human hair, organized in five collections: Soft Touch, 3D Luxe, Faux Mink - Protein Silk, Classic - Human Hair, and Under Lashes. You can browse them in the product catalogue or read about how they are made on our handmade eyelashes page.
If you want a design of your own, we produce OEM on existing styles and develop private label lashes to your own specification.
Minimums, lead time and shipping from Indonesia
Minimums and prices differ by factory, style and material, so give every supplier the same brief and compare like with like. At MCI the minimum is 100 pairs per style, and you can mix styles in one order to reach it. Production for a 100-pair order takes 5 working days. Larger orders vary, so ask for a timeline before you order.
For shipping, express courier is the fastest way to receive samples and first orders, air freight suits mid-size orders where speed still matters, and sea freight suits large orders where cost per unit matters most. Our catalogue lists worldwide shipping at 7 to 14 days. For customs, duties and paperwork, read our guide to importing eyelashes from Indonesia.
Who we manufacture for
We supply lash artists and salons buying for their own studio, distributors reselling wholesale, and beauty brands building a private label or OEM line. A first order can be small: one style from several collections, 100 pairs each, mixed in one shipment.
For our standard terms in one place, see wholesale eyelashes. If you want to know more about the town where we work, read about our factory in Purbalingga.
