It’s amazing how retail has changed over the years. Used to, shoppers had to plan their outfits based on a particular item they were hoping to get. Now, there is a new trend – that of ‘private labelling’. The idea is simple and it can be used in any retail business. Essentially, private labelling means that you take the same item, slap your brand name onto it, and sell it at a higher price as your own exclusive design. For example, let’s say you have a shirt with some great colours and prints in it. If you know nothing about tailoring or printing, then you would probably go for something else that was less costly and time-consuming for production. But if you are someone who knows their way around clothing manufacturing, then why not go for something exclusive? You don’t have to create your own label from scratch; instead, use the one already present on the garment you wish to sell under your own label. The best part is that this involves only minor changes in order for the new label to be discernable from the original one (and at a cost much lower than custom labels).

What is private labelling?

Private labelling is a method whereby retailers use their own label, which is placed either on an already-existing garment or on one specially created for that retailer, to sell a certain item. The benefit of private labelling is that the new label will be unique and recognizable even if it is attached to an existing article of clothing. This means that there will be no confusion about who actually produced the product. The downside of this method is that you may have to change the design of the garment in order to distinguish your product from other competitors.

How does private labelling work?

For example, you can use private labelling for a brand of jeans. You would buy some already-made pairs and label them as your own. You can also buy any garments that are already made in bulk, such as t-shirts, and put your name on them. The cost to do this is much less than if you were to create and manufacture the garments from scratch. Every business owner should be aware of private labelling because it allows business owners to create their own unique brand while still using existing clothing designs from different brands.
