What is the difference between white label?
Similarly, you may have heard of the phrase, “white label” which is like private label, but still has a different meaning. Although this phrase has been used in conjunction, that is incorrect. “White label” products have a significantly different position.
Firstly, the main difference between the two phrases is the amount of customization and type of products customized. Typically, white label products include minimal customization of non-perishable products (i.e. software or hygiene products). Such as having a “one label fits all” model. Private label products, however, involve more specific personalization of premium and/or perishable items.
Secondly, while white label normally operates with a “one label fits all” model, that also applies to its distribution. For example, razors may be created under a custom label and shipped out to a variety of grocery stores. Whereas, with private label products they are likely a unique label for each individual store. In our case, that is coffee! Want some?
