FAQ's
Are disposable gloves reusable?
No. Disposable gloves are designed for single use only. Reusing them risks cross-contamination, weakened material, and reduced protection. Always discard after use and follow correct removal technique to avoid contact with whatever the glove was protecting against in the first place.
Â
What does glove colour coding mean?
Colour coding is used to prevent cross-contamination between tasks or areas. Blue gloves are common in food handling because tears are easy to spot. Black gloves are widely used in automotive and industrial settings. The specific system varies by industry, so follow your workplace or regulatory guidelines rather than assuming a universal standard applies.
Â
How do I choose the right glove size?
A well-fitted glove should sit snugly without restricting movement or leaving excess material bunched at the fingertips. Too loose increases snag risk. Too tight causes hand fatigue and tears through faster. Most disposable gloves run from Small to Extra Large. When in doubt, size up rather than down, and trial a box before committing to a bulk order.
Â
Are nitrile gloves safe for food contact?
Many are, but not all. Food-safe certification needs to be confirmed on the specific product, not assumed based on the material alone. If your team is handling food, check for the relevant certification before ordering. TigerPak can confirm which gloves in their range meet food safety requirements for your application.
