When it comes to disposable gloves, how you distribute them matters just as much as what they’re made of. In high-turnover environments like laboratories, manufacturing floors, automotive shops, and industrial facilities, glove overuse and mismanagement can quickly lead to unnecessary waste and inflated costs.

What Are Vend Packs?

Vend Packs are compact, customizable glove packs designed to work seamlessly with your facility’s vending machines. Unlike traditional glove boxes that encourage grab-and-go habits or end up half-empty and wasted, Vend Packs offer controlled, efficient, and sustainable distribution that keeps your team equipped and your supply chain optimized.

Why Vend Packs Matter

  • Reduced Glove Waste – Only dispense what’s needed. Minimize hoarding, overuse, and partial-box discards.
  • Better Inventory Control – Track usage accurately and simplify reordering with controlled glove access. Support effective traceability on individual usage. And understand the cause and effect for better feedback to continuous improvements.
  • Improved Sustainability – Less packaging, fewer wasted gloves, and smarter distribution support ESG goals.
  • Space Efficiency – Designed to fit all common vending machines, SW Vend Packs save space and streamline restocking.
  • Compliance Support – Especially important in labs and regulated industries, Vend Packs help maintain consistent glove availability and usage logs.
