Search for safety gloves manufacturers in Pakistan and you'll find hundreds — in Faisalabad, Sialkot and Lahore. Some export to the strictest buyers in Europe; some will ship you gloves that fail the first cut test. The country isn't the variable. The factory is. This guide covers what Pakistani safety-glove factories actually make, the standards you should demand, and how to tell a reliable manufacturer from a risky one.
What "safety gloves" covers
- Cut-resistant gloves — HPPE, aramid and glass-fibre knits with PU or nitrile coatings, rated to EN 388 cut levels A–F.
- Impact gloves — TPR bumpers over a leather or synthetic shell, for crush and pinch protection.
- Welding gloves — buffalo, cow split and goatskin, Kevlar-stitched, to EN 12477 and EN 407.
- Heat-resistant gloves — lined leather and aramid, to EN 407.
- Rigger and hi-vis working gloves — cow grain and split leather with hi-vis backs.
- General work gloves — cotton, drill, knitted and PVC-dot.
Pakistan is strongest in leather and knitted construction. A factory that runs both — like our welding, working, knitted and TPR impact lines — can supply most of a safety programme from one place.
Standards to demand
| Standard | Covers | Ask for |
|---|---|---|
| EN 388:2016 | Mechanical: abrasion, cut, tear, puncture, impact (P) | Test report per style, not a generic certificate |
| EN 407 | Heat and flame | Contact heat and flammability levels |
| EN 12477 | Welding gloves (Type A / Type B) | Type stated on the glove and report |
| EN ISO 20471 | Hi-vis material | Certified fluorescent fabric and tape |
| ANSI/ISEA 105 & 138 | US cut and impact levels | If you sell into North America |
| CE Category II | PPE conformity | Notified-body certificate |
The word "certified" on a website means nothing on its own. Ask for the test report for the specific glove, from a named lab. See our EN 388 vs ANSI guide for how the levels compare.
What a good safety-glove manufacturer looks like
- In-house production. Cutting, stitching, knitting, finishing and QC under one roof — not subcontracted out.
- Named, current certifications. amfori BSCI or SEDEX for social compliance, ISO 9001 for quality, OEKO-TEX for materials.
- Real sampling. A physical sample to your spec in 2–3 weeks.
- Batch QC against your sealed sample, with mid-production inspection available.
- Export experience to Europe, the UK, North America or Australia — compliance is routine, not new.
Questions to ask before you order
- Do you have a test report for this exact glove, and from which lab?
- Is production in-house or subcontracted?
- What's your MOQ, and does the price hold across sizes?
- Can I get a sample first, and how long does it take?
- How is each batch inspected, and can I see a report?
- Will you sign an NDA and keep my design exclusive?
Red flags
Logos with no certificates behind them. No sample, or full payment before sampling. Vague answers about where gloves are made. Prices well below the market. No written spec sign-off. Any one of these is a reason to keep looking.

Frequently asked questions
Are safety gloves from Pakistan CE certified?
They can be — but only if the specific glove has been tested and certified. Always ask for the test report and the notified-body certificate for the exact style, not a general claim on a website.
What's the minimum order from a Pakistani safety glove manufacturer?
Typically from around 200 pairs per style for leather gloves and 500–1,000 pairs for knitted and cut-resistant gloves, with mixed sizes accepted.
Can you make cut-resistant gloves to EN 388 level C or D?
Yes. We produce HPPE and aramid knitted gloves with PU and nitrile coatings across the EN 388 cut range, tested per style.
