Private Label Home Decor From India

Private label means selling goods under your own brand that someone else makes. For a boutique, the simplest form is a branded tag or label on pieces from a supplier's collections. This guide explains the terms, what WHIMS offers, and what to plan before you ask.

What are private label and white label?

A private label product is made by one company and sold under another company's brand. Wikipedia describes the usual distinction: private label goods are made to one client's requirements, while white label goods are made to the manufacturer's own specification and may be sold under several brands. In practice the two terms are often used loosely, so it helps to say exactly what you want.

What does WHIMS offer?

WHIMS can attach your own brand tags or labels to its pieces. Terms are agreed case by case on WhatsApp, and every wholesale relationship starts with a paid sample.

What should you plan before you ask?

A short brief makes the conversation faster.

What the tag should say. Brand name, product name and any text you want printed.
Whether the brand name is yours to use in the countries where you will sell.
What your market requires on a label. The US asks for country-of-origin marking unless an exemption applies, and the EU guide tells importers to check packaging and labelling requirements.
How you will describe the craft. If you name a registered GI, use the registered name and say only what the registration covers. Our GI guide explains how.
Which pieces you want to see first. A sample is the way to judge finish before you order.
