Custom Glove Boxes for Retail, Medical, and Protective Packaging
Custom glove boxes serve a diverse range of industries and applications. In retail and fashion, a glove box packages gloves, mittens, and hand accessories in a presentation-ready format that communicates care and quality. In medical, laboratory, and industrial settings, a glove box refers to the dispensing container that holds a stack of single-use gloves for clean, hygienic access. Whether your application is retail packaging or dispensing, Teal Packaging produces fully customized glove box solutions engineered to your exact specifications.
Our team designs and produces custom glove boxes for fashion accessories brands, medical supply companies, salon and beauty professionals, automotive and industrial distributors, and food service operations. Every box is built to your dimensions, printed with your brand identity, and finished with your choice of materials and surface treatments. Free design support is included on every order. The minimum is 50 units. Free shipping is included on every Teal order, with delivery details confirmed during quoting.
Materials for Custom Glove Box Production
Material selection for glove boxes depends on the application. Retail fashion glove boxes prioritize premium aesthetics, while dispensing glove boxes in medical and professional settings prioritize durability, moisture resistance, and clean dispensing functionality.
- 300 gsm to 400 gsm coated solid bleached board: The standard choice for retail fashion glove boxes. This weight provides a clean, smooth printing surface, holds its shape reliably under display conditions, and accepts all print finishes and special effects effectively.
- 350 gsm to 400 gsm coated unbleached kraft board: For artisan or eco-positioned glove brands, the natural kraft aesthetic conveys sustainability and handcrafted quality. Suitable for full-color and spot-color printing with a warm undertone.
- 350 gsm to 450 gsm moisture-resistant board: For dispensing glove boxes used in medical, food service, or industrial environments, a board with a moisture-resistant treatment prevents softening in humid conditions and maintains structural integrity through repeated glove removal.
- Corrugated E-flute or B-flute: For shipping and storage of large quantities of disposable gloves, corrugated outer cases with custom printing on all panels provide protection and brand presence throughout the supply chain.
All board substrates are FSC-certified, confirming responsible sourcing.
Our manufacturing partners use soy-based inks throughout the printing process, delivering accurate, consistent color output with a reduced environmental footprint.
Customization Options for Glove Packaging
The customization possibilities for glove boxes differ based on whether the application is retail presentation or dispensing, though both categories support extensive visual and structural personalization.
- Retail glove box styles: Tuck-end boxes sized for folded glove pairs; rigid presentation boxes with a separate lid for premium fashion gloves; sleeve-and-tray configurations for glove and accessory gift sets; windowed display boxes that show the glove material or color through a clear panel.
- Dispensing glove box features: A perforated or die-cut dispensing aperture in the top panel allows single gloves to be removed cleanly one at a time. Box depth and width are calibrated to the specific glove size (XS through XL) and pack count (typically 50, 100, or 200 gloves per box). Thumb notch or tear-back access are alternative dispensing configurations.
- Print design: Full-color CMYK and Pantone spot color printing on all exterior panels. Inside printing on key panels adds brand detail visible during dispensing or unboxing.
- Finishes for retail: Matte lamination; gloss lamination; soft-touch coating; spot UV; foil stamping; embossing and debossing for logo and brand name treatment on premium fashion glove packaging.
- Finishes for dispensing: Aqueous coating for wipe-clean surfaces in medical and food service environments; uncoated kraft for industrial or disposable-use applications; gloss varnish for moisture resistance in salon and beauty settings.
- Inserts: For retail presentation boxes, custom die-cut foam or molded pulp inserts keep gloves in a folded, presentable position and prevent unwanted movement during shipping and display.
Standard and Custom Sizes for Glove Boxes
Glove box dimensions vary significantly between retail presentation applications and dispensing configurations. All dimensions are in inches.
- Retail single-pair glove box (small to medium gloves): Approximately 10 x 4 x 2 inches interior, suited to folded dress gloves, winter gloves, or leather driving gloves in sizes S to M.
- Retail single-pair glove box (large): Approximately 12 x 5 x 2.5 inches interior, for larger glove sizes or bulkier designs such as ski gloves or insulated winter mittens.
- Dispensing box (100 count, standard medical glove): Approximately 9.5 x 5 x 2.5 inches exterior, the standard format for boxes of 100 exam-grade nitrile or latex gloves in sizes XS to XL.
- Dispensing box (200 count): Approximately 9.5 x 5 x 4.5 inches exterior, for higher-volume professional dispensing applications in medical, food service, or industrial settings.
- Gift set glove box: Approximately 12 x 8 x 3 inches, for a glove-and-accessory gift set including gloves, a scarf, a hat, or other accessories in a coordinated retail gift format.
Custom sizing is standard for any glove dimension or pack count outside these ranges. Provide your glove dimensions, fold method, and pack quantity and our team will engineer the optimal box configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Glove Boxes
Can you produce both retail and dispensing glove boxes?
Yes. We produce both retail fashion glove presentation boxes and professional dispensing glove boxes. The structural design, material specification, and finish options differ between the two applications, and our team will ask the right questions during the quoting process to ensure the configuration we develop is appropriate for your specific use case.
What dispensing aperture styles are available for professional glove boxes?
The most common dispensing configuration is a die-cut or perforated rectangular aperture in the top panel, sized to allow a single glove to be pulled out cleanly. Thumb notch tabs on the side panels, tear-back flap access, and fully open top configurations are also available depending on your dispensing workflow and environment. Mention your preferred dispensing method when requesting your quote.
Are moisture-resistant coatings available for medical or food service environments?
Yes. An aqueous moisture-resistant coating can be applied to the exterior and interior panels of dispensing glove boxes for use in environments where humidity, water splashing, or chemical exposure is a factor. This coating keeps the box surfaces wipe-clean and prevents the board from softening over time in humid conditions.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order is 50 units per unique configuration. For dispensing glove boxes used in medical or professional settings, this minimum allows even smaller clinics, salons, or specialty retailers to access fully branded custom packaging without committing to large inventory volumes.
Can I include regulatory or safety information printing on dispensing glove boxes?
Yes. Dispensing glove boxes for medical or food service applications often require regulatory information, lot numbers, material specifications, or safety certifications to be printed on specific panels.
Our design team can incorporate required text and symbology into the box design and ensure print placement complies with your labeling requirements. Provide the required text and any format specifications when submitting your design brief.
