Disposable Gloves

Disposable Gloves are essential for maintaining hygiene and safety in professional kitchens, bars, healthcare settings and cleaning operations. This range covers latex, vinyl, nitrile and polyethylene gloves in a choice of sizes, colours and pack formats to suit every team. Designed for food handling, janitorial work and light medical or laboratory use, they provide a reliable barrier against contamination while preserving dexterity. Durable, comfortable and easy to change, they help your staff work efficiently and stay compliant with food safety standards.

• Wide choice of glove materials including latex, vinyl, nitrile, polyethylene and compostable options for different tasks and sensitivities.
• Food-safe, powdered and powder-free disposable gloves ideal for food prep, service counters and deli operations.
• Household-style latex gloves in multiple colours for back-of-house cleaning, dishwashing and janitorial duties.

• Single boxes and bulk cases (10 x 100) to suit small cafes, busy restaurants, hospitals and contract caterers.
• Colour-coded blue and clear gloves to support HACCP procedures and easy visual identification in food areas.

How to choose the right Disposable Gloves

• Match glove material to the task: latex for flexibility and grip, vinyl for economical light-duty use, nitrile for chemical and puncture resistance, and compostable options for eco-focused sites.
• Select the correct size for each staff member to avoid tearing, reduce hand fatigue and maintain precise handling of food and equipment.
• Decide between powdered and powder-free gloves, using powder-free for direct food contact and allergy-sensitive environments.
• Consider colour coding, such as blue for food prep and other colours for cleaning, to support HACCP and cross-contamination control.
• Estimate daily usage and choose between standard 100-pack boxes or bulk cases to keep costs under control and avoid stockouts.
• Review any allergy or latex-sensitivity requirements among staff and opt for vinyl or nitrile where needed.

Care and maintenance

• Store unopened boxes of disposable gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve elasticity and strength.
• Rotate stock using a first-in, first-out system so older glove batches are used before newer deliveries and waste is minimised.
• Inspect gloves as they are donned and discard any that show signs of damage, discolouration or loss of elasticity.
• Change gloves frequently between tasks, food types and cleaning chemicals to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.
• Ensure staff wash and dry hands thoroughly before putting on new gloves to reduce the risk of skin irritation and trapped contaminants.
• Dispose of used gloves in appropriate waste streams, following your site hygiene and environmental policies.
