Bulk nitrile gloves: pick the thickness
Glove thickness is measured in mil, thousandths of an inch. Thicker gloves hold up longer but cost more and give up some feel. Ranges vary by maker.
| Thickness | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 3 to 4 mil | Light tasks: first aid, inspection and light lab work |
| 5 to 6 mil | Heavier cleaning and maintenance work |
| 7 to 8 mil and up | Chemical handling and heavy industrial work |
Most disposable nitrile gloves pack 100 to a box and 10 boxes to a case, or 1,000 gloves per case. Check the count per box when you compare prices.
Exam grade or industrial grade gloves?
Disposable gloves are sold as exam grade or industrial grade. The difference is regulation and testing, not color or feel.
| Exam grade | Industrial grade | |
|---|---|---|
| FDA clearance | Cleared as a medical device through FDA 510(k) | Not required |
| Pinhole testing | Stricter: AQL 2.5 or lower | Looser: AQL 4.0 or higher |
| Use it for | First aid and any medical use | Cleaning, maintenance and general handling |
AQL is the defect level allowed in batch testing. A lower number means fewer pinholes are allowed.
Work gloves in bulk, and what cut levels mean
For handling pallets, strapping, cartons and stretch film, a reusable work glove is the usual choice. Nitrile-coated work gloves in bulk are a common pick because the coating grips well, even around oil. Leather and canvas gloves cover rougher jobs.
Cut-resistant gloves are rated under ANSI/ISEA 105 on nine levels, A1 to A9. The rating is the force in grams it takes to cut through the material on a standard test (ASTM F2992), from 200 grams at A1 to 6,000 grams or more at A9. Match the level to the hazard: handling sheet metal or glass calls for a higher level than opening cartons.
Eye, hearing, hi-vis, head and first aid
Safety glasses
Safety glasses wholesale by the box: clear, tinted and anti-fog. Look for the Z87 mark from ANSI Z87.1. Z87+ means the lens is rated for high impact.
Hearing protection
Ear plugs in bulk, as individual pairs or dispenser refills, plus banded plugs and earmuffs. Compare them by the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) printed on the package.
Hi-vis vests
Safety vests in bulk under ANSI/ISEA 107. Type O garments are for off-road work such as yards and warehouses. Near traffic, Class 2 covers vehicles and equipment up to 50 mph and Class 3 covers faster traffic.
Hard hats
Hard hats in bulk under ANSI/ISEA Z89.1. Type I protects against blows to the top, Type II the top and sides. Class G is tested to 2,200 volts, Class E to 20,000 volts, and Class C has no electrical protection.
First aid supplies for business
Kits and refills built to ANSI/ISEA Z308.1. Class A kits cover the common workplace injuries. Class B kits carry more supplies for larger, more complex or higher-risk sites.
First aid supplies: what OSHA expects
OSHA's general industry rule, 29 CFR 1910.151(b), says adequate first aid supplies shall be readily available. It doesn't list exact contents. The ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 standard is the common guide for what a workplace kit should hold, and we quote kits and refills to it.
Buying safety supplies in bulk
Set par levels for the items you go through every week, such as gloves, ear plugs and glasses, and put them on a standing monthly order. Keeping the same glove and size range across shifts makes counts easier and cuts waste from people grabbing the wrong size.
Every price is delivered, with no freight line or fuel surcharge, and safety supplies go on the same invoice as your pallets, packaging and janitorial supplies. Disposable gloves wholesale pricing depends on thickness, grade and volume, so send your monthly counts and we'll quote within two business days.
Already buying gloves and PPE?

How many gloves are in a case?
Most disposable nitrile gloves come 100 to a box and 10 boxes to a case, so 1,000 gloves. Some thicker gloves pack fewer per box, so compare the price per glove.
Do warehouse workers need exam grade gloves?
Not for most handling and cleaning work. Exam grade gloves are cleared by the FDA and tested to stricter pinhole limits, which matters for first aid and medical use.
What mil nitrile glove should we buy?
3 to 4 mil works for light tasks. 5 to 6 mil holds up better for cleaning and maintenance, and 7 mil and up is for chemical handling and heavy work.
What cut level do we need?
It depends on the hazard. ANSI/ISEA 105 runs from A1, the lowest, to A9. Tell us what people handle and we'll suggest a range to try.
Do you sell hard hats and safety vests in bulk?
Yes. We quote hard hats, hi-vis vests, safety glasses and ear plugs by the case and deliver them with your other supplies.
Can you keep our first aid kits stocked?
Yes. Tell us which kits you have and we'll set a standing order for the refills you use most.
