The present invention relates particularly to the dispensing of disposable inspection gloves for use in clinical, veterinary or medical environments. A glove packet 2 comprises a stack of gloves 70, a flexible bag 80 that has opposed first and second end walls 81, 82 for the ends of the glove stack, a collapsible side wall 83 extending around a perimeter of the stack and at least one reinforcing member (50, figure 8) between the dispensing end of the glove stack and the first end wall of the bag. The first end wall of the bag has a dispensing passage 85 and the gloves are folded so that movement of the current glove causes the next glove to be pulled into position. The, or each, reinforcing member preferably also has a dispensing passage 90. The glove packet is loaded into a reusable dispenser 1 with a spring-biased plate, in order to move the stack of gloves towards the dispensing passage as gloves are progressively dispensed from the stack.
