Buyers searching for the lowest unit price MOQ and quotation for disposable gloves in Southeast Asia usually want one number. In practice, the number that matters is built from a short list of variables: material, piece weight, size mix, box and carton configuration, artwork, order quantity, destination and freight terms. This article explains how those variables move the unit price, how to compare quotations fairly, and which packing and loading figures to confirm before you commit.
Why there is no single "lowest unit price" for disposable gloves
Two quotations can both be described as "nitrile gloves, 100 pcs per box" and still differ in piece weight, size mix, carton count, packaging grade and delivery terms. A lighter glove uses less material, but it may not suit the task. A heavier glove costs more per piece but can reduce breakage and re-gloving in demanding work. Neither is automatically cheaper in use.
Junda does not publish a numeric lowest unit price, because a responsible figure depends on a current approved quotation for your exact specification. What we can do is explain the cost drivers and quote against a defined SKU, quantity, packaging, destination and Incoterm.
The quotation variables that decide your unit price
When you request a quotation, these are the inputs that change the result:
- Material: nitrile, latex or PVC. Each has different raw-material economics and different performance trade-offs.
- Piece weight: the grams per glove. This is the single largest material driver.
- Size mix: how S, M, L and XL are distributed across the order. Size mix affects packing efficiency and carton counts.
- Box and carton configuration: pieces per box, boxes per carton, inner bagging, dispenser style.
- Artwork and private label: number of colours, print area, plate or design work, and whether packaging is stock or custom.
- Order quantity: total pieces and how they divide across sizes and SKUs.
- Destination and freight terms: port, inland delivery, and whether the price is quoted ex-works, FOB or another Incoterm.
- Documents: destination-market documentation requirements, confirmed per product and market.
Because these interact, the honest answer to "what is your lowest unit price" is a question back: what is the exact SKU, quantity, packaging, destination and Incoterm?
MOQ and trial orders
For disposable gloves, Junda's MOQ is 1,000 pcs, and trial orders are welcome. This lets buyers test a specification, packing format and document set before scaling. Latex protective gloves carry a separate MOQ of 10,000 pairs under Junda brand or OEM.
MOQ is not the same as the most economical order quantity. Freight, carton utilisation and container loading often matter more than a small difference in piece price, especially for buyers in Southeast Asia shipping short sea routes. Ask for the quotation at two or three quantity levels so you can see how unit price and total landed cost behave.
Piece weight, net weight and carton gross weight are not the same
This is where many comparisons go wrong. Three different weights appear in glove procurement:
- Piece weight: grams per single glove, for example 4.0 g.
- Net weight: the gloves alone, typically piece weight multiplied by the number of pieces.
- Carton gross weight: gloves plus packaging, which is what freight and handling actually see.
The indicative reference values below use a simple model: carton gross weight = glove weight × 1,000 pcs + 0.5 kg packaging, for size M, 100 pcs per box, 10 boxes per carton (1,000 pcs). All figures are approximate, model-specific and subject to actual loading. They are reference-sheet values, not universal specifications.
| Indicative model | Carton size (cm) | Carton volume | Gross weight (approx.) | 20GP (approx. cartons) | 40HQ (approx. cartons) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latex 6.3 g | 39 × 26.5 × 25.5 | 0.0264 m³ | 6.8 kg | 1,252 | 2,883 |
| Latex 5.0 g | 32.5 × 23 × 22 | 0.0164 m³ | 5.5 kg | 2,006 | 4,621 |
| Nitrile 4.0 g | 36.5 × 23.5 × 23.5 | 0.0202 m³ | 4.5 kg | 1,650–1,800 | 3,800–4,150 |
| Nitrile 3.5 g | 32.5 × 23 × 22 | 0.0164 m³ | 4.0 kg | 1,650–1,800 | 3,800–4,150 |
| PVC 4.0 g | 36.5 × 23.5 × 23.5 | 0.0202 m³ | 4.5 kg | 1,650–1,800 | 3,800–4,150 |
Use this table to sanity-check a quotation, not to replace it. Confirm the exact SKU, current packing list, carton measurements, gross weight, container loading and destination-market documents before quotation or shipment.
How to compare quotations fairly
A lower piece price can hide a higher total cost. Compare quotations on these lines:
- Same specification. Confirm material, piece weight, size mix, texture, thickness and cuff style are identical across quotes.
- Same packing. Pieces per box, boxes per carton and carton dimensions should match, or the freight comparison is meaningless.
- Same Incoterm. Ex-works and FOB prices are not comparable. Ask each supplier to quote the same term to the same port.
- Same document set. Confirm which destination-market documents are included and which are extra.
- Same quantity. A price at 1,000 pcs and a price at a full container are different products commercially.
- Total landed cost. Add freight, insurance, port charges, inland delivery and any documentation costs before deciding.
Matching material to the task, not to the price list
Price-led buying works only when the glove fits the job. Compare options against your actual task:
- Nitrile is often chosen where puncture and chemical splash resistance matter, and for users concerned about latex sensitivity. Texture and thickness change grip and durability.
- Latex is often chosen for fit, elasticity and tactile feel in tasks where dexterity matters. Powdered and powder-free options behave differently in use.
- PVC (vinyl) is often chosen for short-duration, low-risk tasks where cost control is the priority.
Cuff length, surface texture and thickness all affect performance and price. No single material is universally suitable; the right choice depends on the task, the duration of wear and the destination market's requirements. Browse the disposable nitrile gloves and disposable latex gloves ranges to see how specifications are structured.
Samples, lead time and documents
Samples are free. The buyer's own international courier collects them from our Guangzhou factory and the buyer pays the courier directly. Please contact us by email or WhatsApp before booking the courier so we can prepare the right specification.
Lead time is 15–30 days, with the exact date confirmed with the order. Certificate previews are masked on the Quality page, and full documents are available on request. Note that logos or certification marks visible in promotional artwork are not proof of current certification; exact documents must be confirmed by product and destination market.
Payment arrangements follow the quotation or contract.
What to send with your quotation request
To get a usable quotation quickly, include:
- Material and intended application
- Piece weight target and acceptable range
- Size mix and total quantity
- Pieces per box, boxes per carton, and any private-label artwork
- Destination port or city, and required Incoterm
- Required destination-market documents
- Preferred shipment size (trial, LCL or full container)
Send this by email or WhatsApp and we will quote against your defined specification. For MOQ, samples, lead time and document questions, see our buying terms.
