A purchase of nitrile gloves starts with the work task. Use the checklist below to compare products on the same basis before evaluating price and package size.
Describe the task before product selection
Note what employees handle, how often gloves are changed and what requirements apply for protection or food contact. The material designation nitrile is not in itself evidence that a glove is suitable for the task.
If you need to clarify the material first, you can read what nitrile gloves are. When cleaning, the choice of glove for the specific chemistry is a separate step.
Use one comparison line per item number
| Information | It needs to be clarified |
|---|---|
| Model and documentation | Manufacturer, item number, intended use and relevant data sheets. |
| Size and fit | Available sizes and a practical test with the employees who will use item. |
| Packaging | Number of gloves per box and number of boxes per package. |
| Price | Price per glove on the same VAT basis as well as any shipping costs. |
| Reorder | Consumption per size, delivery time and durability of the specific delivery. |
Do the offers state different targets? See our guide to nitrile glove gram weight and thicknessbefore you compare grams, millimeters and tolerances.
Compare 100 and 200 pcs. correct
A box price can only be compared directly if the quantity and product requirements are the same. Divide the box price by the number of gloves. Our nitrile gloves 5 g in boxes of 100 pcs. and boxes of 200 pcs. have different packing numbers; also check the selected variant and the package quantity.

Assess fit and suitability in practice
Test relevant sizes for the intended task. The HSE recommends that the choice of gloves takes into account both the impact, the work task and the user. In the case of chemical risks, the manufacturer's data for the specific product must be included; higher gram weight cannot alone determine the choice.
Record which model and size are approved for each task. This makes re-ordering more accurate and reduces the risk of a similar box inadvertently replacing a different specification.
