South Korean importers, distributors and industrial buyers often search for a nitrile gloves manufacturer for food processing automotive maintenance and cleaning in South Korea because these three end uses pull in different directions. Food handling prioritizes clean, low-particle, food-contact-appropriate gloves. Automotive maintenance needs puncture and chemical-splash resistance plus grip. Cleaning work needs flexibility, cuff coverage and cost control. This guide explains how to compare offers without relying on unverified claims.
Start With the Task, Not the Product Name
"Nitrile gloves" covers a wide band of products. Before requesting a quotation, define:
- Application: food contact, parts handling, janitorial cleaning, or mixed use.
- Material: nitrile latex is the base for the disposable nitrile gloves in our approved product context.
- Length and cuff: mainly 9-inch programs, with 12-inch programs available for buyers who need more forearm coverage.
- Texture and thickness: smooth vs. textured surfaces, and light vs. heavy-duty piece weights.
- Color: blue, black, white, or custom color and weight programs.
A glove that performs well for wiping counters may not be the right choice for handling oily automotive components. Compare material, texture, thickness and cuff length against the actual task, and treat any single glove as suitable only after your own evaluation.
Piece Weight, Net Weight and Carton Gross Weight Are Different Numbers
Buyers frequently confuse these three figures, and the confusion shows up later in freight and customs documents.
- Piece weight is the weight of one glove. Approved reference values show model-dependent options of 3.5 g, 5 g or 6 g for a standard 9-inch nitrile reference, and 7–8 g/pc for a heavy-duty orange diamond-texture nitrile reference.
- Net weight is normally the total glove weight in a carton, excluding boxes and packaging.
- Carton gross weight includes gloves, inner boxes, polybags and the outer carton.
Approved reference packing for the standard 9-inch nitrile reference is 100 pcs/box and 10 boxes/carton, with a box of 21.5 x 11.5 x 7.5 cm, a carton of 36.5 x 23.5 x 23.5 cm, and an indicative carton weight of about 4 kg. The heavy-duty orange diamond-texture reference is 50 pcs/box and 10 boxes/carton, with a box of 24 x 12.5 x 7.5 cm, a carton of 39 x 26.5 x 25.5 cm, and an indicative carton weight of about 4.5 kg.
These are model-specific, indicative reference values, not universal specifications. Confirm the exact SKU, current packing list, carton measurements, gross weight, container loading and destination-market documents before quotation or shipment.
Why Unit Price Cannot Be Quoted From a Search Result
No responsible manufacturer should publish a numeric lowest unit price without a current approved quotation. Unit price depends on:
- material and piece weight
- size mix (S/M/L/XL ratios change yield)
- box and carton configuration
- artwork and printing requirements
- order quantity
- destination and freight terms
- Incoterm (FOB, CIF, EXW, etc.)
If you need a comparable number, ask each supplier to quote the same SKU, same size mix, same packing and same Incoterm. Otherwise you are comparing different products.
Packing and Container Loading: Confirm Before You Commit
Project packs such as 100 pcs/box are common, but box counts, carton dimensions and pallet patterns vary by SKU. Container loading depends on carton size, palletization and whether the shipment is floor-loaded or palletized. Because these figures change with the exact model, ask for a current packing list and loading plan rather than reusing an old one.
Documents and Certification: Verify, Do Not Assume
Logos or certification marks visible in promotional artwork are not proof of current certification. Food-contact, medical or industrial compliance depends on the exact product and the destination market's rules. For South Korea, confirm which documents the importer or end user requires, and request the actual certificates for the exact SKU and production batch. Product and market documents must be confirmed for the exact order.
Matching Gloves to Each Application
- Food processing: prioritize clean handling, appropriate length and a consistent fit. Confirm food-contact documentation for the exact SKU.
- Automotive maintenance: consider heavier piece weights, textured grip and longer cuffs where splash or forearm exposure is a concern.
- Cleaning: balance flexibility, cuff length and cost per piece against the chemicals and duration of use.

What to Send When Requesting a Quotation
To get an accurate quote, provide:
- Exact SKU or reference model
- Quantity (and whether trial orders are needed)
- Size mix
- Packaging requirements (pcs/box, boxes/carton, artwork)
- Destination port or city in South Korea
- Incoterm
- Required documents for the destination market
With those details, a manufacturer can confirm specifications, packing, loading and pricing for the exact order.
