General Purpose Gloves
Wholesale general purpose gloves from MROPort are designed for industrial work and suited to a variety of environments. This includes assembly lines, goods packaging areas, maintenance teams, and logistics operations. Most general-purpose grip gloves combine a breathable knitted base material (nylon, polyester, cotton, or blends of these fibres) with a palm coating, which may cover the full hand or only the palm and fingers. Designed for high-volume use, these ventilated gloves offer a snug fit through flexible materials and help protect hands against cuts, abrasions, and dirt. They also allow users to maintain a practical level of dexterity for everyday tasks. Suitable models can also provide anti-static performance for electronics assembly and inspection.

How to Choose the Right General Purpose Gloves
When selecting general-purpose hand protection from MROPort, it is advisable to consider your workers’ tasks, the working environment, and the materials being handled. As your general purpose gloves supplier, MROPort helps standardize SKUs and restocking across multiple locations.
1. Work environment and task type
For general use in dry environments such as warehouses and maintenance areas, a standard coated general-purpose glove is suitable for light- to medium-duty tasks. These tasks include packing, assembly, and manual handling. They also provide abrasion protection and a secure grip. General-purpose nitrile gloves offer greater durability and better resistance to oils in dusty or greasy conditions, while still allowing good dexterity. For facilities where cleanliness and quick changeovers are important—such as inspections, short cleaning procedures, or short production runs—disposable gloves can be a useful complement to reusable gloves.
2. Material and coating
Our wholesale glove range includes several knitted glove options with different liners and grip levels. Gloves made from nylon or polyester knits are lightweight and breathable and can be worn comfortably for a full day. Cotton, or cotton blends, offer a softer feel against the skin. Grip and abrasion resistance on different surfaces can be improved with nitrile, PU, latex foam, or natural latex coatings, either full-coat or palm-coat. Where parts are greasy or oily, nitrile grip materials perform well. For dry items or those that are only slightly damp, latex-coated gloves often provide better grip. For sensitive component assembly, or where there is a risk of ESD, anti-static gloves can be used.
3. Fit, dexterity, and usage frequency
General-purpose gloves should be easy to put on without feeling tight or restrictive, so operators can handle small tools and components properly. They should not be too loose either, as this can reduce grip and control. For precision assembly or inspection work, thinner and more flexible styles are usually best. For frequent handling of cartons, pallets, or rugged items, slightly thicker gauges tend to hold up better. For large operations and multi-shift production, buying wholesale general-purpose gloves from MROPort helps maintain consistent sizing and specifications and supports stable stock levels. This simplifies PPE inventory control across facilities.
FAQs
Q1: What tasks are general purpose gloves best suited for?
General-purpose industrial gloves are commonly used for maintenance, assembly, packaging, light industrial work, and general handling. Wearing gloves helps reduce cuts, abrasions, and contact with dirt, while also improving grip without significantly limiting movement.
Q2: Are general purpose disposable gloves different from reusable ones?
Disposable gloves are designed for short periods of use and are typically discarded after one use. They are often used for inspection work, short cleaning tasks, or applications where hygiene matters. Reusable general-purpose gloves are designed for repeated use, particularly where grip and abrasion resistance are needed, and they typically offer a longer service life.
