SKU Overview

What This SKU Is and Where It Sits in the Line

Disposable blue nitrile gloves are the core general-purpose SKU in our blue nitrile range — the starting point for most distributors building a blue nitrile program and the highest-reorder item in the category. The specification is deliberately broad-coverage: 0.08–0.10mm palm thickness, powder-free, fingertip-textured, beaded cuff, available in XS through XL.

That profile satisfies food contact, general examination, janitorial supply, and light industrial procurement without requiring buyers to stock multiple SKUs for overlapping applications.

This is not the same product as our exam-grade or cleaning-grade SKUs. The Blue Nitrile Exam Gloves are specified tighter for medical and dental tender requirements. The Blue Nitrile Cleaning Gloves run heavier wall thickness (0.10–0.12mm) for extended-wear sanitation work. This disposable SKU sits between them — the broadest application coverage at the most competitive landed cost, which is why it's where most new buyers in this category start.

For distributors evaluating their first container from us, this is the SKU we recommend. It gives you the widest downstream market coverage, the most straightforward certification story, and the easiest reorder path once your customers are established on the product.

How We Hold 0.08–0.10mm Across a Full Production Run

Thickness tolerance is the specification that separates a reliable supply program from a container rejection problem. A glove measuring 0.10mm at the palm and 0.07mm at the fingertip fails EN 455 and ASTM D6319 tensile testing, regardless of what the nominal spec says. That's a container your buyer can't sell.

For this SKU specifically, we target 0.08–0.10mm at the palm and 0.10–0.12mm at the finger — the finger is intentionally slightly heavier because that's where stress concentrates during use and where thin-wall failures originate.

Closed-Loop Process Controls

  • Dipping line bath temperature held at ±1°C — not operator-adjusted, closed-loop controlled
  • Compound viscosity monitored continuously throughout every run
  • In-house compounding lab — we mix our own nitrile compound, not third-party pre-mixed batches
  • 100% online electrical pinhole detection on every line — failures pulled automatically before stripping

The in-house compounding lab is what makes this repeatable across orders, not just within a single run. When you reorder six months later, the compound going into the line is formulated to the same specification as your first container. Color drift and thickness variation from factories using pre-mixed compound is a compounding discipline issue that shows up as a dipping problem on the surface.

Outgoing Inspection

Inspection architecture: The 100% AQL 1.5 outgoing inspection is the final verification layer, not the primary catch mechanism. By the time a carton is palletized, every glove in it has passed both the inline pinhole test and the outgoing AQL sample.

Distribution Channels

Market Segments This SKU Serves

The disposable blue nitrile glove is the broadest-coverage SKU in the category. The segments below are where our existing buyers are running durable, high-reorder programs — not one-time purchases.

Blue nitrile gloves in food processing environment
Food Processing

Food Processing & Food Service Distribution

Blue is the standard color in food processing environments because it's visually detectable against most food products — a torn glove fragment on a production line is visible before it becomes a contamination incident. Food-contact compliance documentation (EN 455, FDA 510(k)) is included in the standard shipment package.

Distributors who establish a food processing account rarely lose it on price alone — switching costs and compliance re-qualification create natural retention.

Blue nitrile gloves used in commercial janitorial and facility management
Facility Management

Janitorial & Facility Management Supply

Commercial cleaning programs in hotels, office buildings, hospitals, and schools consume disposable blue nitrile at predictable rates. The SKU profile — 0.08–0.10mm, fingertip texture, beaded cuff — covers the full range of janitorial tasks without requiring separate SKUs for different cleaning applications.

Reorder cycles are typically monthly or quarterly, which means a single account generates predictable container-scale volume over a full year.

Blue nitrile exam gloves in outpatient clinic setting
Clinical

General Examination & Clinic Supply

Non-hospital examination settings — outpatient clinics, veterinary practices, tattoo studios, cosmetic treatment rooms — specify disposable blue nitrile for general examination use without the full medical-grade documentation requirements of hospital procurement.

The EN 455 and ASTM D6319 certifications on this SKU satisfy the compliance requirements for these buyers without the premium pricing of a dedicated medical-grade SKU.

Blue nitrile gloves in electronics assembly and light industrial use
Light Industrial

Light Industrial & Electronics Assembly

Electronics assembly, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and automotive parts handling specify blue nitrile for tactile sensitivity combined with chemical splash resistance. The 0.08–0.10mm thickness profile preserves the dexterity that precision assembly work requires.

Industrial safety distributors often carry this SKU alongside heavier-gauge black nitrile — blue covers the examination and light-duty end, black covers the heavy-duty end. Stocking both from the same factory simplifies your supply chain and allows mixed-container loading.

Packaging, Container Loading & Landed Cost

Standard packaging: 100 gloves per box, 10 boxes per carton. Carton dimensions are standardized across the blue nitrile line, which matters if you're loading a mixed-SKU container — you won't lose loading efficiency by combining this SKU with cleaning-grade or exam-grade boxes in the same shipment.

The 100 pcs/box, 10 boxes/carton configuration is optimized for distributor DC receiving and retail shelf replenishment — no repackaging required at your warehouse. For buyers supplying Amazon FBA or e-commerce fulfillment channels, we can produce carton labeling to FBA requirements; the inner box dimensions and weight are within FBA standard parameters for this product category.

Country-of-origin documentation, CE declaration of conformity, and FDA 510(k) reference are included in the standard shipment documentation package. Pre-shipment inspection by SGS or Bureau Veritas is available if your procurement process requires third-party verification — we coordinate directly with the inspection agency.

Private Label Programs

OEM & Private Label on This SKU

The disposable blue nitrile SKU is the most common starting point for private-label programs — the market is large, the demand is proven, and the product is well understood by downstream buyers. What makes a private-label program on this SKU defensible is a combination of consistent supply and a specification your brand owns.

Color

Standard blue is the default. Custom shades — cobalt blue, indigo, or a Pantone-matched color — are developed through our in-house compounding lab and locked into your production specification. Color won't drift between orders because the formulation is documented, not eyeballed.

Accelerator-Free Compound

Available on a dedicated line for buyers supplying sensitization-sensitive markets. European hospital procurement increasingly requires this; it's also a differentiator for premium private-label positioning in healthcare distribution.

Thickness Profile

Adjustable within the 0.08–0.12mm range to target a specific performance tier — thinner for maximum tactile sensitivity, slightly heavier for extended-wear applications.

Cuff Length

Standard 240mm. Extended cuff (270mm) available for buyers whose customers work in splash-risk environments.

Labeling & Packaging

Carton artwork, box inserts, and inner bag printing produced in-house to your specifications. No third-party print supplier, which means label updates go through our production system directly.

MOQ & Development

One 40HQ container (~2,000 boxes) for standard blue nitrile under your private label. Custom formulation projects carry the same MOQ — no development fees or trial run surcharges for established formulation types.

Buyer Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between disposable blue nitrile gloves and exam-grade blue nitrile gloves?

The mechanical specifications overlap significantly — both run powder-free, fingertip-textured, with EN 455 and ASTM D6319 certification coverage. The practical difference is application positioning and documentation emphasis. Exam-grade SKUs are specified and labeled specifically for medical and dental examination use, with documentation structured for hospital group tenders and dental chain procurement. The disposable general-purpose SKU covers the same certification requirements but is positioned for broader distribution — food contact, janitorial, light industrial, and general examination use — at a more competitive landed cost. If your downstream customers are hospital procurement departments, specify the exam-grade SKU. If you're building a multi-channel distribution program, the disposable SKU gives you broader coverage from a single inventory position.

What food-contact compliance documentation is available for this SKU?

EN 455 certification covers food-contact use under European food safety regulations. FDA 510(k) clearance covers US market requirements. For buyers supplying food processing accounts that require specific food-contact declarations or allergen statements, we can provide material safety data sheets and a food-contact compliance letter on request. The nitrile compound used in this SKU is free of natural rubber latex, powder, and the common food allergens that trigger procurement documentation requirements in food processing environments.

What is the MOQ, and can I mix sizes in one container?

MOQ is one 40HQ container, approximately 2,000 boxes (200,000 gloves at 100 pcs/box). Size mixing within a container is supported — you can specify your size distribution (e.g., 20% S, 40% M, 30% L, 10% XL) and we'll pack accordingly. For new buyers, sample orders ship within 5–7 business days with full certification documentation before full container commitment.

Can I get accelerator-free disposable blue nitrile gloves?

Yes. We run accelerator-free compound on a dedicated line using a sulfur-donor cure system instead of the thiuram and carbamate accelerators used in standard nitrile vulcanization. The resulting glove passes EN 455 with no detectable accelerator residue — the specification that European hospital procurement departments increasingly require to manage Type IV allergic reaction risk. Available as an OEM option on this SKU at the same MOQ as standard production.

What is the lead time for a standard container order?

Lead time for standard SKUs runs 25–35 days from order confirmation, depending on line scheduling. For repeat orders on established SKUs, we maintain a rolling production schedule that allows us to confirm ship dates at the time of order. Pre-shipment inspection by SGS or Bureau Veritas adds 3–5 days to the schedule if required.

How does AQL 1.5 affect what arrives at my warehouse?

AQL 1.5 means the maximum acceptable defect rate in a statistically sampled inspection is 1.5 per 100 units. Many factories default to AQL 2.5 — a 67% higher defect tolerance. We run AQL 1.5 across 100% of production lots, combined with inline pinhole detection that pulls failures before they reach packing. For distributors supplying food processing or healthcare accounts where product failures generate returns and account risk, the tighter standard is the difference between a clean supply record and a problem you're managing every quarter.
