Private label vs. contract manufacturing

If you want to launch your own product but don’t know whether to choose private label or contract manufacturing, this article will help you choose. Choosing a route to market is an important decision you have to make. We will be happy to help you make it.

Private label

This solution has many advantages, but as with all solutions, it also has its limitations. If you want to launch your own product in a short period of time and with a limited budget, this is the perfect solution for you. In short, private label is based on ready-made formulas that have been tested, certified and are almost ready for sale. All you need to do is prepare the appropriate graphic design of your brand, labels. As a producer we advise in this process so that the label complies with current regulations and then we offer printing and applying labels to the finished product. 

In our case you have a wide range of different formulas and consistencies to choose from. We offer ready-made sugar paste formulas based on sugar, fructose, glucose or with additives such as acacia gum, argan please, rose petals or fragrances. We know that sugar paste is not the only thing. That’s why we also offer additional products such as powder supporting depilation, cleansing preparations, and soothing after depilation. With such a wide selection, you don’t have to worry about not finding the right product for your product brand.

Contract manufacturing

Contract manufacturing is a more complex solution and involves the service of producing unique formulations for your brand. Contract manufacturing can involve us developing a product according to your requirements in advance but can also be based on recipes or even raw materials you provide. This option gives you more control over the final product and the advantage of uniqueness. In this case we can also pack the product in the packaging of your choice (as long as it meets your technical requirements). It is worth mentioning that this is a much more labour-intensive and expensive process. The new unique product has to undergo new tests, safety assessment and registration. Of course, by cooperating with safety assessors we will be happy to support you in this process. Also, a minimum production batch must be maintained, which implies a larger scale of business.

Summary

I hope that the above information has made the decision on the form of cooperation in launching your own cosmetic product a little clearer and easier. Below we outline once again the advantages and disadvantages of both solutions.
