What "bulk" actually means for janitorial supplies
For most facilities, "bulk" means buying by the case rather than the each. A case of nitrile gloves is 1,000 gloves (10 boxes of 100); a case of toilet tissue is 96 rolls. Case buying lowers your per-unit cost and cuts how often you reorder — the two things that matter most for a business budget.
The core categories every business should stock
A working janitorial closet covers six categories: disposable gloves, paper products (towels and tissue), trash bags and can liners, cleaning chemicals, hand soap and sanitizer, and air/odor control. Stocking one or two SKUs in each beats scrambling when something runs out.
Case pricing vs. retail — why it wins
Retail pumps and single tubs carry a convenience markup. Buying the case format cuts that out. The trade is upfront quantity, but for any business using supplies weekly, the case pays for itself fast and frees up reorder time.
Keeping shipping predictable
Freight is where supply orders get unpredictable. A flat shipping rate means you know the delivered cost before you check out. SupplyKit ships every order flat-rate across the US and free over $150, so the price you see is the price you pay.
