White-label

What white-label manufacturing means, how it relates to ODM, and what brands should clarify about customisation and IP.

What it is

White-label usually means selling a supplier’s existing product under your brand with limited customisation — often branding, colourways, or packaging rather than a fully bespoke design.

Related terms

White-label overlaps with ODM. Always clarify what you can change, exclusivity (if any), and who owns underlying IP before you invest in marketing a non-exclusive base product.
