If you are sourcing disposable gloves for a distributor, pharmacy chain, cleaning-supply wholesaler or hospital group in South America, you are probably searching for the lowest unit price MOQ and quotation for vinyl gloves in South America. That is a reasonable starting point — but the number you actually pay per piece is decided by a short list of variables, not by a single headline price. This article explains what those variables are, which figures you can use as an indicative model, and what to put in your request so the quotation you receive is comparable to the next one.
Why there is no single "lowest unit price" for vinyl gloves
Vinyl (PVC) gloves are a cost-conscious disposable program. Two suppliers can both quote "vinyl gloves, size M" and still be far apart on price, because the quotation is built from:
- Material and formulation — vinyl compound grade and any flexibility additives.
- Piece weight — a 3.5 g glove and a 5.0 g glove are different products at different costs.
- Size mix — S/M/L/XL ratios affect how the factory runs and packs the order.
- Box and carton configuration — pieces per box, boxes per carton, poly vs. dispenser box.
- Artwork and printing — private-label boxes, inserts, language requirements.
- Order quantity — larger runs spread setup and packing cost.
- Destination and freight terms — port, Incoterm, and whether freight is included.
Because of this, we do not publish a numeric "lowest price." Any supplier who does, without seeing your specification, is quoting a placeholder. The practical route is to fix your specification first, then ask for a quotation against it.
Indicative reference values you can plan around
The following values come from a user-supplied reference sheet for one specific SKU. Treat them as model-specific and indicative only — not as universal specifications for every vinyl glove we make.
| Item | Indicative value (model-specific) |
|---|---|
| Product | Disposable vinyl (PVC), 4.0 g, size M |
| Packing | 100 pcs/box, 10 boxes/carton (1,000 pcs) |
| Carton dimensions | 36.5 × 23.5 × 23.5 cm |
| Carton volume | 0.0202 m³ |
| Carton gross weight | approx. 4.5 kg |
| 20GP loading | approx. 1,650–1,800 cartons |
| 40GP loading | approx. 3,350–3,650 cartons |
| 40HQ loading | approx. 3,800–4,150 cartons |
Container figures are approximate and subject to actual loading. If your target is a different piece weight, size mix or box count, the carton cube and loading will change — sometimes significantly.
Piece weight, net weight and carton gross weight are not the same thing
This is one of the most common sources of quotation mismatch in glove sourcing, so it is worth being precise:
- Piece weight — the weight of one glove, e.g. 4.0 g. This is a specification input, not a shipping figure.
- Net weight — the total weight of the gloves themselves in a carton. For 1,000 pcs at 4.0 g, that is roughly 4.0 kg of glove material.
- Carton gross weight — net weight plus boxes, polybag, and the carton itself. In the reference model above, gross is approximately 4.5 kg, so packaging adds roughly 0.5 kg per carton.
Freight is quoted on gross weight and volume, not piece weight. If a supplier quotes you a piece weight but not a carton gross weight, you cannot yet calculate your landed cost.
MOQ and trial orders
For disposable gloves, our MOQ is 1,000 pcs, and trial orders are welcome. This lets you test a specification in your market before committing to a container.
If your program also includes latex protective gloves, note that the MOQ structure is different: JUNDA own-brand latex protective gloves are available in stock from 10 cartons (2,000 pairs), and OEM latex protective gloves require 300 cartons (60,000 pairs) for natural colour, or 100,000 pairs for other colours.

What to confirm before you ask for a quotation
To get a quotation you can actually compare, send the supplier:
- Exact SKU or specification — material, piece weight, size, surface (powder-free / powdered, if applicable), and cuff length.
- Size mix — e.g. 30% S, 40% M, 25% L, 5% XL.
- Packaging — pieces per box, boxes per carton, box style, and whether you need private-label artwork.
- Quantity — total pieces and how you expect to split it across shipments.
- Destination — port or city, and the Incoterm you want to quote on (e.g. FOB, CIF).
- Documentation needs — what your customs and market require, so the supplier can confirm what is available.
Exact specification and market documentation require confirmation. Logos or certification marks that appear in promotional artwork are not proof of current certification — always request the actual documents for the SKU and destination you are buying.
Where to start
- Review our medical PVC gloves program for examination-oriented specifications.
- Review our broader disposable gloves range for cleaning and light-duty handling programs.
When you compare materials, think about the task: vinyl is generally chosen for cost-conscious, short-duration, non-hazardous tasks; if your buyers need elasticity, fit or chemical resistance, a different material may suit better. We will not claim universal suitability — the right choice depends on your end use.
