What Private Label Means

Private label means selling an existing product under your own brand. The style stays the same. The labels, hangtags and packaging carry your name.

It is the fastest way to launch a branded range. You skip design and sampling of a new style. Our private label orders start at 100 pcs per style.

Labels You Can Add

You can add a woven neck label, a care label, a hangtag and a barcode sticker.

Care Labels and Fiber Content

Most markets require a care label with the fiber content. Check the rules for each country where you sell. Some marketplaces also ask for a country of origin label.

Ask the supplier for the exact fiber content of each style before you print labels. We confirm it in the quote.

Artwork to Send

Send vector files for logos, such as AI, EPS or PDF. Give the label size, colors and the text for care and size labels. Add barcode numbers if you have them.

We send a proof for each label and tag. Production starts only after you approve the proof in writing.

Label Timing and Lead Times

Private label orders ship in 12–18 days after artwork approval. Label production runs while we prepare the goods. Late artwork changes add time, so finish the artwork before you order.

Choosing Styles to Brand

Pick styles that sell well without changes. You can check them first with a small in-stock order. In-stock orders start at 2 pcs per style and 50 pcs per order.

If a style needs a new color or fit, it becomes a custom order. Custom orders start at 100 pcs per style and color. See the private label section for the full options, or browse the in-stock range.

In the US, care labels follow the FTC Care Labeling Rule. The FTC guide complying with the Care Labeling Rule lists what a label must say.
