Sourcing from a disposable gloves manufacturer for food service janitorial laboratory and beauty in South America means matching one product family to several very different tasks, then making the packing and shipping plan work for your destination. This guide is written for importers, distributors and private-label buyers who need to compare programs on substance rather than slogans. It explains how to choose material and thickness by task, how to read carton and container figures without over-committing, and which variables drive a quotation. Exact claims and documents always depend on the product and the destination market, so confirm them before you order.
Start with the task, not the material name
The same glove type can be right for one application and wrong for another. Before comparing suppliers, list what the glove must do in each channel you serve:
- Food service and food handling: consider fit, dexterity, cuff length and whether the glove needs to be changed frequently during a shift. Piece weight and texture affect feel and change frequency.
- Janitorial and cleaning: consider chemical contact, grip when wet, and whether a longer cuff is useful. Confirm chemical resistance for the specific substances used rather than assuming it.
- Laboratory and light technical work: consider tactile sensitivity, powder-free options and consistency between boxes. Ask for the documents your laboratory or regulator requires.
- Beauty and salon use: consider fit, comfort over long appointments and the packaging format that suits your resale channel.
Junda's approved product context covers nitrile, latex and PVC programs matched by target market, weight, color, packaging and private-label requirements. That means the useful conversation is about your task and specification, not about a single "best" glove.
Compare materials against the actual job
Use this as a starting framework, then verify with samples:
- Nitrile is often specified where users want a powder-free option and consistent feel. Available programs include lighter and heavier piece weights, which change feel and carton economics.
- Latex is often chosen for stretch and fit. Piece weight options such as 5.0 g and 6.3 g change both hand feel and how many cartons fit in a container.
- PVC (vinyl) is a common option for shorter-wear tasks where cost structure matters. As with all materials, suitability depends on the task, not on the material name alone.
Texture, thickness and cuff choice should be matched to the buyer's actual task. No material is universally suitable, so test against your own use case. Product pages for disposable nitrile gloves and disposable latex gloves show the program structure.
Read weight and packing figures correctly
Three different weights appear in glove procurement, and mixing them up causes costing errors:
- Piece weight is the weight of one glove, for example 4.0 g or 6.3 g.
- Net weight is the glove content in a carton, roughly piece weight multiplied by pieces per carton.
- Carton gross weight includes packaging. In Junda's reference sheets, gross weight is calculated as glove weight × 1,000 pcs + 0.5 kg packaging.
The reference specifications below are model-specific and indicative, not universal. Confirm the exact SKU, current packing list, carton measurements, gross weight, container loading and destination-market documents before quotation or shipment.
| Reference model | Carton size (cm) | Volume (m³) | Gross weight (approx.) | 20GP (cartons, approx.) | 40HQ (cartons, approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latex 6.3 g | 39 × 26.5 × 25.5 | 0.0264 | 6.8 kg | 1,252 | 2,883 |
| Latex 5.0 g | 32.5 × 23 × 22 | 0.0164 | 5.5 kg | 2,006 | 4,621 |
| Nitrile 4.0 g | 36.5 × 23.5 × 23.5 | 0.0202 | 4.5 kg | 1,650–1,800 | 3,800–4,150 |
| Nitrile 3.5 g | 32.5 × 23 × 22 | 0.0164 | 4.0 kg | 1,650–1,800 | 3,800–4,150 |
| PVC 4.0 g | 36.5 × 23.5 × 23.5 | 0.0202 | 4.5 kg | 1,650–1,800 | 3,800–4,150 |
All figures are approximate and subject to actual loading. The standard reference packing is size M, 100 pcs/box, 10 boxes/carton (1,000 pcs). If you change size mix, box count or carton configuration, the loading figures change too.
What drives the unit price
There is no single lowest unit price that applies across programs. Unit price depends on material, piece weight, size mix, box and carton configuration, artwork, order quantity, destination and freight terms. A lighter glove is not automatically cheaper per case once you account for pieces per carton and how many cartons fill a container. Ask for a quotation against your exact specification rather than comparing headline numbers from different suppliers.

Documents and destination-market checks
Certificates are shown as masked previews on the Quality page, and full documents are available on request. Logos or certification marks visible in promotional artwork are not proof of current certification. Exact documents must be confirmed by product and destination market. Before you commit, confirm the SKU-level documents your South American destination requires, including labeling and language requirements, and check that the documents match the exact product you are buying.
A practical RFQ checklist
Send your enquiry by email or WhatsApp with:
- Material and piece weight (or your performance requirement).
- Sizes and size mix.
- Box and carton configuration, plus private-label artwork if applicable.
- Order quantity and whether this is a trial order.
- Destination port and Incoterm.
- Required documents for the destination market.
With those details, the quotation and packing plan can be confirmed against the exact SKU rather than an indicative reference.
