Find canvas gloves for your business

By Marjorie Gilbert
Canvas gloves come in a variety of styles. In fact, the canvas gloves list of styles is quite long. Along with canvas gloves offered with knit wrists, there are ones that have various thumb styles (straight, wing, supported and unsupported); PVC dots or stripes on the palm, index finger as well as the thumb; and gloves that are heavy-duty and lined with burlap for extra heat protection.

Finding the right canvas glove that will suit your company's needs is imperative. Below, canvas gloves information will be broken down into the canvas gloves that have a more basic style, canvas gloves that have the PVC dots or stripes, and the heavy-duty canvas gloves that provide heat protection. You’ll also find canvas gloves provider and manufacturer information. Consider these uses to determine which type of canvas glove best fits your business needs.

1. Use more basic canvas gloves for general purpose uses.

2. Choose PVC dotted and striped canvas gloves for a better grip.

3. Pick heavy-duty canvas gloves for extreme environments.

 

Choose basic canvas gloves for basic use

Pick quality-constructed canvas gloves that provide basic protection for the wearer.
Try: US manufacturers of basic canvas gloves are United Glove and the Illinois Glove Company. Both offer canvas gloves with knit wrists, and both offer bulk pricing. Whereas Illinois offers an 8 oz. version, United Glove also offers 8 oz., 10 oz. and 12 oz. versions of their gloves.

Pick PVC dots and stripes for your canvas gloves

PVC on your canvas gloves offers more security to your grip. Add canvas gloves with PVC to your list when your employees have to do a lot of lifting. While not exactly the webbing of Spiderman, it does provide a little extra stickiness to the hands.
Try: Quality US providers are The Safety Zone and Chagrin Safety Supply.

Go with heavy-duty canvas gloves for extreme situations

Heavy-duty canvas gloves offer heat protection thanks to their burlap lining.
Try: ABC Safety Glasses offers three heavy-weight canvas gloves: one that comes with extra layers, a band top and a knuckle strap for high temperature situations, the same version with a gauntlet cuff, and an extra-heavyweight with an added burlap lining. US SafetyGear also offers hot mill gloves a wide variety of weights and styles. Both companies offer their gloves with bulk pricing.

 

  • Because canvas gloves come in a variety of styles and thicknesses, it's possible to match a particular style of glove to your needs. Do not be afraid to speak with customer service at the above company to narrow down your choices still further.
