SafeDon Technology

SafeDon® is the world’s first glove dispensing system that presents gloves cuff-first. It is, in every way, a cleaner, faster donning, more compact, and greener glove alternative.

SafeDon Interleaving Packing

What “Interleaving” means in SafeDon® Packaging

In SafeDon® system, interleaving refers to the precise, layered arrangement of gloves during automated packing, where each glove is placed alternately, cuff overlapping finger, finger overlapping cuff, in a stacked sequence. This arrangement ensures that when one glove is pulled from the dispenser, the next glove’s cuff edge is automatically presented, ready for the next user.

Instead of being randomly stacked or tightly compressed (as in conventional glove boxes), interleaved gloves are:

  • Machine-folded and aligned during robotic packing, not manually inserted.
  • Layered in a specific alternating pattern, so only one glove is exposed at a time.
  • Presented cuff-first, meaning users only touch the cuff, never the palm surface or fingers.

This controlled layering prevents multiple gloves from being dispensed at once and minimises user contact with glove surfaces, dramatically reducing the risk of cross-contamination in medical, laboratory, or food environments.

From a logistics and sustainability perspective, interleaving also maximises packing density, more gloves fit per box or carton and reduces waste, fewer gloves fall out.

SafeDon® Automation

SafeDon® has engineered a fully automated “peel & place” and interleaving packing system to operate alongside glove manufacturing units.

From glove formation through to final boxed product, no human hand touches the gloves. During manufacture, the gloves are stripped, interleaved, boxed and prepared entirely by robotic systems, without manual intervention.

At no stage are the gloves handled by human hands, ensuring they leave the factory in the cleanest condition possible. The first human to touch the glove is the actual end user, considerably reducing the risk of glove contamination unavoidable during conventional packing.

Standard glove manufacturing lines can sometimes present challenging and arduous working conditions.

SafeDon® offers a fully automated production process that requires careful process and engineering oversight, which in turn reduces the number of workers needed at packing stations.

This advancement improves both the working environment and the skill levels required, moving away from traditional packing roles that have often been filled by migrant labour.

By implementing SafeDon®, the factory can offer higher-quality employment opportunities in more favourable working conditions.

“In short, SafeDon® is both a mechanical and hygienic innovation, it’s the foundation that enables SafeDon® automated peel-and-place robots to pack gloves untouched by human hands and to dispense them one by one, cuff-first, cleanly and consistently.”

SafeDon® is bringing disposable gloves back to being an infection control device, rather than just a commodity product.
