Private Label Program

Launch India-made products under your brand—fast, compliant, and margin-smart.
Our Private Label program turns proven IndiaUnbox supplier capabilities into shelf-ready SKUs with your branding, packaging, and quality guardrails. You choose the customization depth—from quick white-label to full OEM—and we manage everything from sampling to store-ready barcodes.

Who this is for

  • Retailers, D2C brands, marketplaces, hotel chains, and corporate buyers who want brand-owned SKUs without building a sourcing team.
  • Buyers seeking China+1 alternatives with transparent costing, dependable lead times, and compliance assurance.

What you get

  • SKU library: curated, category-wise ready-to-brand ranges (specs, photos, cost bands, MOQs).
  • Customization: materials, finishes, colors, sizes; branding (print/engrave/emboss/weave/etch); packaging (dielines, inserts, gift sets).
  • Packaging & artwork suite: dielines, print specs, color proofs, barcodes (EAN/UPC), carton marks, FNSKU/Amazon prep (optional).
  • Quality guardrails: golden sample, PP sample, AQL plan, TDS/SDS where relevant; DUPRO & PSI scheduling.
  • Compliance wrap: COI/COC, LFGB/FDA where applicable, REACH/azo, CPSIA/EN71 for kids, ISPM-15 for pallets, FSC for paper.
  • Landed-cost & ETA preview: integrated FOB→DDP and Lead-Time Guide so you can price and plan launch dates.
  • Digital shelf assets: product copy points, tech specs, basic photo set (white background + lifestyle suggestions).

How it works (5 phases)

Brief & Bench

  • Share brand deck, target price, target customer, channels (retail/Amazon/HORECA), and volumes.
  • We run a Should-Cost and Lead-Time preview, then shortlist SKUs/treatments.

Design & Dielines

  • Select tier (White-Label / Semi-Custom / OEM).
  • We create pack dielines, branding placements, and finish boards; confirm barcodes and claim copy.
  • You approve the spec sheet and AQL plan.

Samples & Validation

  • T1 product + T1 packaging, then PP sample.
  • Optional pre-tests (food-contact, azo/reach, heavy metals, transit).
  • Golden sample sealed; bulk color standards set (e.g., plating tone chip, Pantone).

Production & QA

  • Raw-material booking; production plan locked.
  • DUPRO at 20–60%, PSI at ≥80% packed with AQL.
  • Pack-out verification: barcode scans, carton drop/transit tests, ship-marks.

Ship & Launch

  • FOB→DDP preview finalised; forwarder booking; documents (CI/PL/COO/test certs).
  • Basic photo set & copy delivered; post-launch re-order playbook and scale curves.

Typical timelines & MOQs (base-case)

  • White-Label: T1 sample 5–10 working days; bulk 15–30 days post-approval; MOQ low to mid (e.g., 300–1,000 units per SKU depending on category).
  • Semi-Custom: add 5–10 days for finish development; MOQs medium.
  • Full OEM: add tooling 10–20 days and pilot runs; MOQs higher.
    (Use our Lead-Time Guide for category-specific ranges.)

Quality & compliance—non-negotiables

  • Golden sample & signed spec sheet before PO.
  • AQL by category (e.g., General II 2.5/4.0) with corrective action loop.
  • Traceable raw-material lots; finish/chemical records where applicable.
  • Packaging QC: barcode readability, carton ECT/BCT, edge crush where relevant.
  • Sustainability options: FSC paper, recycled metals/glass, water-based coatings.

IP, tooling & confidentiality

  • NDAs and non-circumvention with suppliers.
  • Tooling ownership & storage tagged to your brand; release conditions defined.
  • Artwork watermarks; version-controlled dielines; controlled vendor list.

Data we need to start
