If you are sourcing for a distributor, importer or private-label buyer and your search is for the lowest unit price MOQ and quotation for disposable gloves in South America, the fastest way to a usable number is to understand what actually moves the price — and what you must confirm before any figure is comparable. Junda Gloves is a B2B glove manufacturer and exporter supplying nitrile, latex and PVC disposable glove programs matched by target market, weight, color, packaging and private-label requirements. This guide explains the quotation variables, the MOQ, and the packing and loading data you should check so that quotes from different suppliers can be compared on equal terms.
Why there is no single "lowest unit price"
A disposable glove unit price is not a fixed number on a catalogue page. It is the output of a set of variables, and changing any one of them changes the price. That is why we do not publish a numeric lowest unit price: without a current approved quotation for your exact specification, any number would be misleading.
Unit price depends on:
- Material — nitrile, latex or PVC, each with different raw-material cost and performance profile.
- Piece weight — a 3.5 g nitrile glove and a 4.0 g nitrile glove are different products at different costs.
- Size mix — the ratio of S, M, L and XL in your order affects production and packing efficiency.
- Box and carton configuration — pieces per box, boxes per carton, and carton dimensions.
- Artwork and private label — printed boxes, inner bags and carton marking add cost and lead time.
- Order quantity — larger volumes generally improve the per-unit economics.
- Destination and freight terms — port, Incoterm and shipping mode all affect the landed comparison.
The practical answer: define your specification first, then request a quotation against it. See our buying terms for how orders are structured.
MOQ: what you can actually start with
For disposable gloves, the MOQ is 1,000 pcs, and trial orders are welcome. This lets a South American buyer test a specification, packing format and artwork before committing to a larger program.
For latex protective gloves, the MOQ is 10,000 pairs (JUNDA brand or OEM).
MOQ is a starting point, not a price guarantee. A 1,000-piece trial and a full-container order will not carry the same unit price, because setup, packing and freight are spread across different volumes. If your goal is the lowest achievable unit price, ask for pricing at several quantity tiers in the same request so you can see how the curve behaves.
Samples: free, with courier arranged by the buyer
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 the collection is coordinated correctly.
Samples are the right stage to confirm piece weight, texture, cuff style and packing feel against your actual task — not just to compare a photo.
Reading the packing data correctly: piece weight vs net weight vs carton gross weight
This is where many quotations become incomparable. Three different weights matter:
- Piece weight — the weight of one glove (for example, 4.0 g nitrile). This is a specification, not a shipping weight.
- Net weight — the total glove weight in a carton, i.e. piece weight × pieces per carton.
- Carton gross weight — net weight plus packaging. For disposable gloves in the reference format below, gross weight = glove weight × 1,000 pcs + 0.5 kg packaging.
Two suppliers can quote the "same" glove at different piece weights and different carton configurations, so the unit price alone tells you little. Always compare piece weight, pieces per box, boxes per carton and carton gross weight together.
Indicative carton and container loading reference values
The figures below are model-specific reference specifications supplied to us — approximate and subject to actual loading. They are not universal specifications. Confirm the exact SKU, current packing list, carton measurements, gross weight, container loading and destination-market documents before quotation or shipment.
All reference formats below assume size M, 100 pcs/box, 10 boxes/carton (1,000 pcs per carton).
| Product (indicative) | Piece weight | Carton size (cm) | Carton volume | Carton gross weight (approx.) | 20GP cartons (approx.) | 40GP cartons (approx.) | 40HQ cartons (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latex | 6.3 g | 39 × 26.5 × 25.5 | 0.0264 m³ | 6.8 kg | 1,252 | 2,542 | 2,883 |
| Latex | 5.0 g | 32.5 × 23 × 22 | 0.0164 m³ | 5.5 kg | 2,006 | 4,074 | 4,621 |
| Nitrile | 4.0 g | 36.5 × 23.5 × 23.5 | 0.0202 m³ | 4.5 kg | 1,650–1,800 | 3,350–3,650 | 3,800–4,150 |
| Nitrile | 3.5 g | 32.5 × 23 × 22 | 0.0164 m³ | 4.0 kg | 1,650–1,800 | 3,350–3,650 | 3,800–4,150 |
| Vinyl (PVC) | 4.0 g | 36.5 × 23.5 × 23.5 | 0.0202 m³ | 4.5 kg | 1,650–1,800 | 3,350–3,650 | 3,800–4,150 |
How to use this table in a South American sourcing decision:
- Lighter piece weight does not automatically mean lower landed cost per use. A thinner glove may suit short-duration tasks but not heavier ones; match the weight to the task.
- Carton volume drives container economics. The 5.0 g latex and 3.5 g nitrile formats pack into a smaller carton (0.0164 m³) and therefore load more cartons per container than the larger-carton formats.
- Freight terms change the comparison. A quote on FOB terms and a quote on a delivered term are not directly comparable. State your Incoterm in the request.

What to put in your quotation request
To get a quotation you can actually compare, include:
- Exact SKU or specification — material, piece weight, size range and size mix.
- Quantity — and, if possible, two or three tiers so you can see volume pricing.
- Packaging — pieces per box, boxes per carton, and whether you need private label or printed artwork.
- Destination — country and port, so freight and document requirements can be addressed.
- Incoterm — the trade term you want the price quoted on.
- Documents required — tell us which documents your market requires; exact documents must be confirmed by product and destination market.
Send this by email or WhatsApp and we will respond against your specification.
Lead time, documents 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. Note that logos or certification marks visible in promotional artwork are not proof of current certification — always request the actual documents for your product and destination market.
- Payment: terms follow the quotation and contract.
A note on comparing suppliers in South America
When you compare quotations from different suppliers, normalize before you decide:
- Convert every price to the same Incoterm and the same piece weight.
- Compare cartons per container, not just price per carton, because loading efficiency affects landed cost.
- Confirm carton gross weight rather than assuming it from piece weight.
- Ask for the current packing list for the exact SKU, since packing can change.
- Confirm destination-market documents separately from product price.
This is the difference between a low headline number and a genuinely lower cost of supply.
