Arthritis glove

Focus on material composition, typically a blend of 88% copper-infused nylon and 12% spandex or high-quality cotton-spandex. Ensure the compression level is therapeutic (usually 15-25 mmHg) to effectively stimulate blood flow. Check for open-finger designs to allow for daily tasks and anti-slip silicone grips on the palms for enhanced functionality.

Request double-stitching reinforcement at the seams to prevent fraying under constant tension. Verify moisture-wicking properties and breathability to ensure comfort during overnight wear. It is essential to ask for wash-test reports to confirm that the compression elasticity remains effective after 30+ wash cycles.

For the US market, ensure the supplier is FDA Registered as a Class I medical device. For the EU, products must carry the CE Mark and comply with REACH regulations regarding skin-contact textiles. Additionally, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification is highly recommended to guarantee the absence of harmful substances.

Yes, most professional suppliers on Made-in-China.com offer OEM services. You can customize the logo (heat transfer or woven label), colorways, and packaging (branded pouches or color boxes). Typical MOQs for customization range from 500 to 1,000 pairs per size/color.

Always order samples before placing a bulk order to test the 'hand-feel' and compression strength. Utilize third-party inspection services (like V-Trust or SGS) to conduct a Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI). Ensure your sales contract explicitly defines defect rates and compensation terms.

Negotiate based on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) rather than just the unit price. Ask for tiered pricing (e.g., 1k, 5k, 10k units) to plan for scaling. Request favorable Incoterms such as FOB (Free On Board) to maintain control over your shipping costs and logistics providers.

Use Secured Trading Services provided by Made-in-China.com to protect your payments. Avoid transferring large sums via unprotected channels for first-time orders. Consider a 30% deposit and 70% balance payment against the Bill of Lading (B/L) or after a successful inspection report.

Since gloves are lightweight and low-volume, Air Freight or International Express (DHL/FedEx) is ideal for small batches (under 100kg) to ensure fast turnover. For bulk orders exceeding 2-3 cubic meters, Sea Freight (LCL - Less than Container Load) is significantly more economical, though it requires a longer lead time of 30-45 days.
