What are private-label products?
A private label corresponds to a manufacturer who creates customized products for third parties to sell under their brand. In other words, the manufacturer gives you the freedom to choose the formula, customization, or design of the product they manufacture for your brand. This personalized product will then be sold exclusively by this one retailer/re-seller who ordered the product. The latter will decide on the marketing and selling strategy. Private label production is the best of both worlds. You get the ease in the production while being able to do small customizations in your packaging and formula.
Private label production is the best of both worlds. You get the ease of producing a “generic” product, with the option to make customizations and to make your product unique. In other words, the machinery for the production is already set, making it easier and faster to produce, and also giving lower minimum order quantities while giving you the opportunity to personalize some aspects of the product.
