If you are sourcing disposable examination gloves for a distributor, clinic chain or private-label program, you are probably comparing offers on the lowest unit price MOQ and quotation for PVC gloves in South America. This article explains what actually drives that number, which data you should send to a manufacturer, and how to compare quotations fairly — without treating any single figure as universal.
Why "lowest unit price" is a quotation outcome, not a catalogue number
There is no single lowest unit price for PVC gloves. The unit price you receive is calculated from a combination of:
- Material and piece weight — a 4.0 g glove and a heavier glove use different amounts of vinyl compound per piece.
- Size mix — the ratio of S, M, L and XL you order affects how the factory plans production and packing.
- Box and carton configuration — pieces per box, boxes per carton, and whether you need retail-ready or bulk packing.
- Artwork and private label — printed boxes, inserts and logo plates add setup and material cost.
- Order quantity — larger volumes spread fixed costs across more pieces.
- Destination and freight terms — port, inland delivery, and whether you buy FOB, CIF or another Incoterm all change the landed comparison.
Because of this, Junda does not publish a numeric lowest unit price. Instead, we quote against your confirmed specification. The fastest way to get a usable number is to send the details listed further below and request a quotation.
MOQ: what you can actually start with
For disposable gloves, Junda's MOQ is 1,000 pcs, and trial orders are welcome. This lets a South American buyer test clarity, fit, weight and packing before committing to a larger program. If your project involves latex protective gloves, the MOQ is 10,000 pairs (Junda brand or OEM).
MOQ is not the same as the most economical order size. A trial order confirms the product; a repeat order at container scale is where unit price and freight per piece usually improve. Ask for both a trial-order quotation and an indicative container-scale quotation so you can see the difference.
Reference packing data — model-specific and indicative only
The following values come from a user-supplied reference sheet for one model. They are not universal specifications. Confirm the exact SKU, current packing list, carton measurements, gross weight, container loading and destination-market documents before you rely on them for a quotation or shipment.
| Item | Reference value (model-specific, indicative) |
|---|---|
| Product | Disposable vinyl (PVC) |
| Piece weight | 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. Always reconfirm them against the final packing list for your SKU.
Piece weight, net weight and carton gross weight are three different numbers
Buyers comparing quotations often mix these up, which makes offers look cheaper or more expensive than they are:
- Piece weight is the weight of one glove (for example, 4.0 g in the reference model above). It is the main driver of material cost per piece.
- Net weight is the total weight of the gloves in a carton, excluding boxes and packaging.
- Carton gross weight includes the gloves, inner boxes, poly bags and the outer carton. In the reference model, gross weight is approximately 4.5 kg per carton.
When you compare two quotations, check that both are quoting the same piece weight and the same packing configuration. A lower unit price at a lighter piece weight is not the same product.
What to send when you request a quotation
To get an accurate quotation for PVC gloves in South America, include:
- Exact SKU or specification — product type, piece weight, size range and size mix.
- Quantity — trial quantity and expected annual or per-shipment volume.
- Packaging — pieces per box, boxes per carton, and any private-label or artwork requirements.
- Destination — country, port or city, so freight and documentation can be scoped.
- Incoterm — FOB, CIF or another term, so the quotation is comparable with other offers.
- Documentation needs — tell us which destination-market documents your importer requires; these must be confirmed for the specific product and market.
Send these by email or WhatsApp and we will confirm the specification before quoting.
Samples before you commit
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 sample set against your specification.
Lead time, certificates and payment
- Lead time: 15–30 days; the exact date is confirmed with the order.
- Certificates: masked previews are available on the Quality page, and full documents are available on request. Logos or certification marks shown in artwork are not proof of current certification — always request the actual documents and confirm they apply to your SKU and destination market.
- Payment: terms follow the quotation and contract.
Compare quotations on the same basis
A quotation is only useful if it is comparable. Ask every supplier to state piece weight, packing configuration, carton gross weight, Incoterm and destination. Then compare the delivered cost per 1,000 pieces rather than the headline unit price alone. For product details, see our medical PVC gloves and disposable gloves pages, and review our buying terms for MOQ, samples and lead time.
To request a quotation, contact our export team by email or WhatsApp with your specification, quantity, packaging, destination and Incoterm.
