How to Buy Disposable Gloves in Bulk: Cases vs. Pallets
UniSafe sells every glove by the case, and our most popular gloves are also available by the pallet. A standard case holds 1,000 gloves, packed in 10 boxes of 100, and a standard pallet holds 96 cases, or 96,000 gloves. Most of our repeat business customers reorder 4 to 25 cases at a time, while pallet orders suit high-volume operations, multi-site crews, government accounts, and distributors. Here's what we offer:
Bulk pricing
Volume pricing applies automatically, and the price per case usually drops at around 12, 24, 48, and 96 cases, so you save more as your order grows. A full pallet unlocks our lowest price per case.

Free shipping
We offer free shipping on full pallet orders of 96 cases or more delivered to a commercial address with a loading dock or forklift, so you can save even more on your purchase. Smaller case orders and partial pallets ship at standard rates. See our shipping policy for current costs and delivery estimates.
Mix and match sizes
Our pallet orders come with 96 cases of gloves, and you can mix and match sizes to best fit your facility's hand protection needs. Gloves that are too small split at the cuff or fingertips, and gloves that are too large reduce dexterity and can snag, so it pays to get the mix right. Not sure how to split sizes across your crew? Our team can help before you order.
As for how much to order, base the quantity on real usage rather than a guess made when the supply room is full. Track how many boxes each department goes through weekly, then account for seasonal work, new contracts, and high-demand tasks. Pallet buying makes the most sense when the same glove specification is used consistently across sites; if different teams need different protection levels, split the order by role rather than forcing one glove onto everyone.

Nitrile, Latex, and Vinyl: Which Material to Buy in Bulk
We offer a variety of disposable glove options, including nitrile, latex, and vinyl gloves. The material determines how a glove feels, stretches, resists punctures, and performs around common workplace substances, so it is worth matching it to the job before comparing case prices.
Nitrile
Nitrile is the workhorse for most professional buyers: strong puncture resistance, good performance around oils and grease, and no latex proteins. It covers
Latex
Latex offers outstanding flexibility and a close, natural feel that many crews prefer for detailed handling. It suits trades and facilities without a latex-free policy, where comfort over a long shift matters more than chemical resistance. Shop bulk latex gloves by the case or the pallet.
Vinyl
Vinyl is the economical choice for short, low-risk tasks with frequent glove changes, like food service, janitorial work, and light assembly. It is not the right answer for sharp edges, grease-heavy repairs, or long exposure to demanding substances. Shop bulk vinyl gloves by the case.
Why Choose UniSafe for Your Pallet Order of Gloves?
We carry only top-of-the-line nitrile, latex, and vinyl gloves from brands like PitBull, TopGrip, VersaFlex, Milglove, Copperhead, Diamondback, Black Python, and Glovezilla. We serve businesses and government agencies of every size, from mechanic shops, plumbers, and food manufacturers to pest control, municipalities, and schools.
Not all gloves are the same, even when they look the same. Two black nitrile gloves can look identical in a photo and perform very differently through a long shift, and that difference comes down to material quality, manufacturing processes, cuff strength, thickness, consistency, and texture. That is what we check before we carry a glove.
When you call, our team asks what industry you work in, and can recommend the thickness, grade, and texture that fit the job. We keep track of what you ordered last, so reordering takes one quick call. Mechanics, plumbers, and restaurant crews keep reordering by the case for the same reasons: the gloves don’t tear mid-job, they grip when wet, and they outlast thinner gloves and even gloves that cost more. The PitBull line alone has over 400 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many gloves are in a case and a pallet?
A standard UniSafe case holds 1,000 gloves, packed in 10 boxes of 100, and a full pallet can hold 48-96 cases, or 48,000-96,000 gloves. Because thicker gloves are heavier and come in larger cartons the quantity we can fit on a pallet is generally less. Also, some heavy-duty lines pack XXL sizes at 90 gloves per box, or 900 gloves per case, additionally extended cuff gloves may only have 50 gloves per box and 500 gloves per case. Each product page lists the exact count.
How fast do bulk and pallet orders ship?
Most in-stock case orders received by 3 PM EST ship the same business day, and pallet freight typically ships within 24 to 48 hours. Standard shipping takes an estimated 1 to 5 business days, and pallet freight an estimated 1 to 7 business days. We ship within the United States only.
Can I try gloves before ordering in bulk?
Yes. You can request samples through our quick contact form, and new customers get free returns on their first order. That lets you test gloves on the job before committing to a pallet.
Can I buy exam grade or food safe gloves in bulk?
Yes. Our lineup includes exam grade nitrile and latex gloves as well as industrial grade gloves, and all are made with components that are FDA-accepted for food contact. Each product page lists the glove's grade and thickness so you can match it to your compliance requirements before ordering.
How should I store bulk gloves, and how long do they last?
Store gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Stored properly, most nitrile gloves, latex gloves and vinyl gloves have a shelf life of about five years. Check the date on each case and use older stock first.
Do you work with distributors or offer private label?
Yes. We partner with regional distributors, safety supply resellers, and industrial suppliers, and we offer full container load and private-label programs for high-volume partners. Submit a distributor inquiry through our contact form, or see our Private Label & Container Program.
Is there a minimum order?
No. You can order a single case of any glove we carry. Volume pricing starts at approximately 12 cases, and the price per case steps down again at 24, 48, and 96 cases.
Do you offer recurring or standing orders?
Yes! We offer standing orders supported by blanket purchase orders with approved credit terms or payment methods. You can mix different glove models and sizes on a single pallet without sacrificing your volume pricing or free freight benefits. While standard single-brand orders can be set up online and you can customize the size ratios you need, multi-brand mixed pallets can usually be easily fulfilled and can be arranged with a quick phone call to our team.
Is tax-exempt purchasing available for government and schools?
Yes. We accept tax-exempt orders with proper documentation. Please send your tax exempt form or resale certificate to service@unisafegloves.com before ordering.
