Buying Nitrile Gloves in Case of 1000: Calculating Your Real Savings

 

 

For businesses that consume PPE daily, purchasing nitrile gloves by the individual box is one of the most common—and costly—procurement mistakes. In 2026, high-volume industries in Canada are shifting toward the Case of 1000 model.

At 72Hours, we specialize in bulk supply. Discover why the "Case of 1000" model is the ultimate choice for your business's procurement needs.

💰 1. The Power of Unit Pricing

When you buy a single box of gloves, you pay for the overhead of individual handling. When you buy a Case of 1000, you unlock wholesale pricing.

  • The Math: By purchasing in cases, businesses typically save 15-25% per glove compared to retail box prices.
  • Budget Predictability: Bulk buying locks in your price for a longer period, protecting you from mid-month market fluctuations.

📦 2. Shipping Efficiency

Shipping a single box is expensive. Shipping a case is optimized.

  • Reduced Logistics Costs: It is much cheaper for us (and you) to ship one 10lb case than ten separate 1lb boxes.
  • Free Shipping Thresholds: Most 72Hours bulk orders easily reach our free shipping tiers, further reducing your total cost of acquisition.

🛡️ 3. The Supply Buffer (3-Month Rule)

A Case of 1000 Nitrile Gloves provides a sustainable buffer.

  • Operational Security: You don't have to worry about running out on a Friday afternoon.
  • Storage Optimization: Cases are designed to be stackable and durable, keeping your storage area organized.

🛠️ How to Optimize Your Business

  • Check the Count: Ensure you are getting 100 gloves per box, 10 boxes per case (1000 total).
  • Verify Standards: At 72Hours, all our "Case of 1000" options meet Health Canada Class II or ASTM standards.
  • Calculate ROI: Compare your current "price per box" against our "price per case."
