Additionally, wholesalers in District 2, specializing in hardware, also offer PPE items. Since the use of most tools requires the wearing of various protective equipment, especially with power tools, those selling PPE and hardware are often the same.

Our suppliers include both large factories and small workshops, all located in industrial clusters.

We’re familiar with different PPE product certificates necessary for market entry.
Take disposable PVC gloves for example. The US market requires FDA certification. If the product packaging includes the term “medical,” FDA 510K approval is necessary. To enter the EU, compliance with the EU PPE Directive and REACH regulations is necessary, along with MSDS and CE certificates.
We can work well for your PPE wholesale and custom project.
Our quote is direct from the factory. For a type of PPE under the same requirement, our prices are typically 10% lower than Alibaba suppliers. Moreover, our minimum order quantity is friendly to startups and small businesses.
Take the Life Jacket for example. A client purchased 5 different colors, 15 pieces per color, and wanted to customize the logo. He found suppliers on Alibaba but was refused, as he couldn’t meet the custom MOQ of 500 pieces.
So he asked us for help. Our agent sourced life jackets from a cooperative factory, for around $15 per piece. For logo customization, we found another factory that specializes in label-making. Although our logo MOQ is small, the label factory was willing to do it due to our long-term relationship. The custom logo cost was also reasonable, approximately a little over $100.
The cooperative willingness of suppliers is crucial for purchasers, especially when your custom PPE project MOQ is low and the budget is tight. Choosing us can save you all these concerns.
Besides that, we inspect PPE products to control quality. For small quantities, it’s typically a full inspection. If the quantity is large, AQL sampling inspection is common. Regardless of the method, we send inspection videos and confirm with you whether the detected defects are acceptable. As for defective products, we will help you replace them for free if you choose our Pro Plan and use our selected suppliers.
Additionally, we can arrange shipments to the port or your door as negotiated at the best shipping rate, saving your overall sourcing costs.
Appreciate the recommendation. Will try it out.
