What it is
Private label typically means a manufacturer produces goods sold under your brand — often from their existing recipes or designs, sometimes with customisation. Usage overlaps with white-label and ODM; the terms blur.
What to clarify
Exclusivity (can competitors sell the same base product?), what you may customise, who owns any custom development, and what happens to your branding stock if you exit.
