Each glove material offers different benefits. Use this quick guide to find a suitable option for your business.

The best choice depends on the task, user allergies, food-contact requirements and workplace risks.

Powder-Free Nitrile Gloves – Blue & Black

Disposable nitrile gloves are widely used in professional kitchens, catering businesses and commercial workplaces.

Made from synthetic rubber, nitrile gloves contain no natural rubber latex. They generally offer good flexibility and better puncture resistance than standard vinyl gloves.

Some nitrile gloves also provide protection against particular chemicals. Always confirm the manufacturer's chemical-resistance ratings before use.

Blue Nitrile Gloves for Food Preparation

Blue nitrile gloves are popular in foodservice because their colour is easy to identify against many food products.

They are a practical option for suitable preparation, handling and hygiene tasks.

• Blue Nitrile Gloves X-Large – Pack of 100
• Blue Nitrile Gloves X-Large – 10 Packs of 100

Black Nitrile Gloves for Restaurants & Catering

Black nitrile gloves are a popular choice for restaurants, catering teams, food trucks and commercial food preparation.

Our range includes powder-free black gloves in individual boxes and selected bulk cases.

• Black Nitrile Gloves Large – Pack of 100
• Black Nitrile Gloves Medium – 10 Packs of 100

Wholesale Vinyl Gloves – Clear & Blue

Disposable vinyl gloves are commonly used for short-duration, lower-risk handling tasks. They are made from PVC and do not contain natural rubber latex.

Vinyl gloves are useful where staff need frequent glove changes. However, they generally offer less stretch and puncture resistance than nitrile gloves.

For food handling, check the manufacturer's approval for the food being handled, especially fatty or oily foods.

Clear Vinyl Gloves

Clear vinyl gloves are an option for suitable food serving, counter work and routine handling.

• Clear Vinyl Gloves Medium – Pack of 100
• Clear Vinyl Gloves Large – Pack of 100

Blue Vinyl Gloves

Blue vinyl gloves offer an alternative for suitable foodservice and light-duty workplace tasks.

• Blue Vinyl Gloves Medium – Pack of 100
• Blue Vinyl Gloves Large – Pack of 100

Powder-Free Latex Gloves

Latex disposable gloves offer a flexible, close-fitting option for suitable general handling and hygiene tasks.

Natural rubber latex provides good elasticity and dexterity. However, it can cause allergic reactions in sensitive users.

Supply Express stocks powder-free latex gloves in selected sizes and wholesale quantities.

Latex allergy warning: Do not use natural rubber latex gloves where users have a known latex allergy. Consider appropriate nitrile or vinyl alternatives.

Clear Polythene Gloves for Food Handling

Polythene disposable gloves are lightweight and easy to change. Their loose fit suits selected short-duration, low-risk tasks.

Common applications include suitable bakery counter work, sandwich preparation, serving and food packing.

For high-volume requirements, see our Clear Polythene Gloves Large – 5,000 Pieces.

These gloves are not a substitute for specialist protective gloves. Always check their intended use.

Which Disposable Gloves Are Best for Food Handling?

Food businesses need gloves that suit the food, task and working conditions.

• Nitrile: A flexible option for many food preparation tasks when food-contact approved.
• Vinyl: Suitable for selected short-duration handling tasks.
• Latex: Offers a close fit but requires consideration of allergy risks.
• Polythene: Useful for suitable short serving and packing tasks.

Approval for direct contact can depend on the food type, temperature and contact duration. Check the manufacturer's documentation.

Do Disposable Gloves Replace Handwashing?

No. Disposable gloves do not replace proper hand hygiene.

Wash hands as required and change gloves when they become damaged or contaminated. Replace them when switching between tasks that could cause cross-contamination.

Single-use gloves must not be washed and reused.

Disposable Gloves for Cleaning & Workplace Hygiene

Cleaning teams and commercial workplaces often need disposable gloves for routine hygiene tasks.

Nitrile gloves may offer a suitable option for some cleaning activities. Vinyl gloves may be appropriate for selected light-duty tasks.

For chemical cleaning: Always check the chemical safety data sheet and glove manufacturer's resistance information.

For heavier tasks, consider reusable gloves such as:

• Yellow Rubber Gloves Large – Pack of 12
• Heavyweight Black Rubber Gloves Medium – Pack of 12
• Heavyweight Black Rubber Gloves Large – Pack of 12

Disposable Glove Sizes – Small to X-Large

The correct glove size helps staff work comfortably and maintain control.

Gloves that are too tight may restrict movement. Loose gloves can reduce grip and dexterity.

Always check the product's sizing guide. Fit can vary between manufacturers.

Buy Disposable Gloves in Bulk – Boxes & Cases

Buying bulk disposable gloves can simplify ordering for busy restaurants, catering businesses and cleaning teams.

Many of our gloves come in boxes of 100. Selected nitrile, vinyl and latex products are also available in multi-box quantities.

Before ordering, consider:

• Material: Nitrile, vinyl, latex or polythene.
• Size: Check which sizes your team needs.
• Quantity: Estimate daily use and glove changes.
• Pack format: Compare individual boxes with bulk cases.
• Suitability: Confirm food-contact or protective requirements.

Compare products by price per glove, not just the box price. This helps you assess different pack sizes on a like-for-like basis.
