Gloves: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.11 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.045 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.07 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.06 |

What moves the price
For gloves, the drivers are width, roll length, print color, adhesive or non-adhesive, custom print, mask type, ply count, material — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for disposable gloves is driven mainly by material and grade: nitrile costs more than vinyl or polyethylene, and exam-grade or thicker 4–6 mil gloves price higher than basic utility gloves. For custom-printed or brand-customized gloves, realistic sourcing is usually through OEM/import channels rather than US stockists; landed-equivalent pricing can approach the low end of bulk import ranges when order size is very large. Volume breaks also matter because suppliers quote materially lower per-glove prices at case, pallet, and factory-direct quantities, with 1,000-glove cases commonly landing around $80–$140 for standard nitrile exam gloves.
