Disposable gloves price UK: what this shelf charges

Disposable gloves price UK from this amazon.co.uk shelf on 20 October 2026. Divide by the count: a £4 vinyl box and a £12 box of 50 are different jobs.
On this page

You have two boxes in the basket from the same amazon.co.uk search. One is about £4 and says 100. The other is about £12, says 50, and is orange with a grip pattern. The disposable gloves price UK question is which of those numbers should decide the order. The button is the amount you pay today. The figure that matches the job is that amount divided by the gloves in the pack, then checked against the film.
On 20 October 2026 we read twelve disposable-glove listings in one amazon.co.uk export. The pounds below are that shelf on that date. They are not a UK average, and we did not track them for a month or lab-test a glove. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
The twelve prices, with shared review counts kept as one sample each, are on the disposable gloves comparison. Packs of 100 are on the 100-count disposable gloves comparison. Large sizes are on the large disposable gloves comparison. A long spell at a hot sink is priced per wear, on the reusable rubber gloves comparison.
In short
A box of 100 runs from £3.96 clear vinyl to £11.99 clear PVC. Ordinary nitrile sits between £4.41 and £7.02, with UNIGLOVES at £11.30. A 50-count is £6.99 or £11.99, about 14 or 24 pence a glove. Divide by the count, then check vinyl, polyethylene or nitrile. A trade price excluding VAT does not rewrite these buttons.
Disposable gloves price UK on this shelf
Each figure is one retail box, with VAT as Amazon showed it. GLOVEMAN clear vinyl, medium, is £3.96 for 100. by Amazon blue large nitrile is £4.41 for 100, the Amazon Basic Care nitrile price in this capture, previously sold as Hevea, at 4.6 from 9,310 reviews. The medium is £5.13 with the same star line. PRAIMA black is £5.99 for medium and for large, both 4.4 from 7,371, stated at 0.1 mm. 1ABOVE blue small is £6.47, 4.5 from 436, stated at 0.1 mm. ABENA pink small is £7.02, 4.6 from 614.
From £4.41 to £7.02 is the ordinary nitrile gloves box of 100 price here. Reviews mention rips and a size that runs small. Brandon-super is £9.99 for 500 loose polyethylene food gloves. UNIGLOVES Magenta Pearl, small, is £11.30 for 100, 4.6 from 28,182, stated at 0.08 mm, and rank 1 on the DIY & Tools bestseller line. OKIAAS clear PVC, medium, is £11.99 for 100, 4.5 from 806, with 0.08 mm and a 3 mil bullet that agree. The Real Touch black large is £6.99 for 50. Xtremeauto orange large is £11.99 for 50, 4.7 from 957.
Price per glove, not the box price
The cost per glove is the shelf price divided by the count. GLOVEMAN is 4.0 pence, by Amazon large 4.4, the medium 5.1, both PRAIMA boxes 6.0, 1ABOVE 6.5, ABENA 7.0, Brandon-super 2.0 of polyethylene, UNIGLOVES 11.3, OKIAAS 12.0 of vinyl, the Real Touch 14.0, and Xtremeauto 24.0. Two orange boxes, £23.98, buy the same count as one £4.41 box of blue large, a bit over five times the blue large.
A shared review count does not move the button. by Amazon large is 72 pence cheaper than the medium on the same 4.6 from 9,310, and the opening review texts match. PRAIMA's two sizes share 4.4 from 7,371. The by Amazon item weights of 0.35 g and 0.3 g are neither a glove weight nor a box weight. Brandon-super's 0.7 mm sits on a 200 g pack of 500, which cannot be that film.
When vinyl gloves cheap is a different film
Vinyl gloves cheap, on this shelf, means GLOVEMAN at £3.96, 4.6 from 11,611. Buyers mention hair colour, painting, light kitchen work, and skin that tolerated the clear film. Stated thickness is 0.05 mm, the thinnest in the set, and the palm is uncoated. One later box was smaller than a previous order. That is a fit problem. It does not turn 0.05 mm of vinyl into a glove for oil or a twisting grip.
OKIAAS at about 12 pence is polyvinyl chloride, 0.08 mm and 3 mil in agreement, close to the money of UNIGLOVES nitrile. Reviews say the cuff can be loose and that water enters. GLOVEMAN is the lower spend for a short dry job. The dearer clear box is still the lower-force film for oil. Brandon-super at about 2 pence is polyethylene, 4.3 from 18,131, with a written sample heavily from outside the UK. English notes describe a film that fails under pressure, slips off, and lets liquid in. The listing says they are not for washing. Vinyl care lines say hand wash. Bin the glove when it comes off.
A thick nitrile box of 50
Xtremeauto orange large, ASIN B0BQF2V83S, is £11.99 for 50, 4.7 from 957, with a raised diamond texture. Garage and garden reviewers say these last longer than cheap nitrile. The listing calls them extra thick and heavyweight and gives no mil and no millimetre. They still tear under hard use. Care says discard them and do not wash. On the comparison this is the top pick for car work where thin nitrile splits, and a poor match if you need a stated thickness or a hundred gloves for the sink.
The Real Touch black large, ASIN B0GNT652H5, is £6.99, about 14 pence, 4.5 from 180. The bullet says 8.5 mil and the attribute says 0.22 mm, close enough to keep. Reviews say the cuff is tight and large runs small. by Amazon blue large, about 4.4 pence with no thickness stated, is the best value box for ordinary dirt. For a spanner and oil, people pay about 24 pence. PRAIMA black at 0.1 mm is still called thin on heavier work. Black hides stains. Orange is a dye.
What a trade price does not change
Supply Focus and Medisave were selling exam nitrile around £2.99 to £3.75 excluding VAT per 100. VAT at 20 percent turns that band into about £3.59 to £4.50 including VAT, arithmetic on their quote rather than an amazon.co.uk basket price. Delivery, an account, and a minimum order sit outside it. Glove Club's economy blue was about £3.49 including VAT per 100, and that shop cites EN 455 on its own page. Copying that line onto these twelve files would invent a report.
These twelve saved listings do not include an EN 455 certificate, an AQL test, or a force-at-break result. UNIGLOVES writes "AQL 1, 5" as a bullet, comma and all, and the bullet does not move £11.30. Workplace Products states a mil on a different diamond-grip pack of 50, so that price stays off this shelf. Xtremeauto's £11.99 still has no mil. Ten times £4.41 is £44.10 for 1,000 gloves only while that button holds, and that sum is not a case discount.
What a snapshot price leaves out
The export was read on 20 October 2026. A button the next morning is a new fact, so do not paste one live glance across the other eleven ASINs. A few pence either side of £4.41 leaves the order of the films as it is: vinyl at the bottom of the box price, ordinary nitrile in the middle, a 50-count garage glove dearer per glove.
Adding the shared 9,310 or the shared 7,371 doubles a sample you have already used. Reading Brandon-super's 18,131 as a British verdict ignores the languages in the written sample. Treating "food safe" on the by Amazon listing as a tested claim ignores the review which says symbols on the pack contradicted the food line. None of those three changes the pounds.
Several UK reviews say the marked size runs small, so the usual correction is one size up. A split at the thumb uses two gloves for one hand: a small waste at 4 pence, and a faster exit from the orange box at 24 pence. Bin a single-use glove when it comes off, including the cheapest. A medical title does not make the box an NHS examination glove. Call a professional for a solvent, for dermatitis that is not settling, and for a food business using gloves instead of washing.
