PRIVATE LABEL

We've invested in new technology and capabilities to better serve our private label customers and now offer a broader selection of products available for private label along with higher quality packaging solutions. With our private label solutions, specialty retailers can be assured a great set of products that their customers will love and will help drive sales and brand loyalty. And if you're interested in contract co-packing, learn more about our high-volume capabilities. (need link)

We differentiate ourselves from other private label programs by offering smaller minimum runs, lower set-up fees and competitive pricing with our own branded products. We combine this with a high level of customer service, world class all natural products and turnkey solutions for a high quality, fast turnaround of products that your customers will love.

It typically takes 1-2 days to review new Private Label account requests and another 1-2 weeks to finalize label designs and be ready for production. This time involves exchanging assets (logo, fonts, style preferences, etc.) and establishing an initial label proof that is signed off on by the customer.

DESIGN & ARTWORK

This will vary based on time of year (e.g. Holiday peak) and existing customer backlogs but most private label orders are completed and filled within 5-10 business days. A 10% expedited/rush fee is available for customers needing to accelerate these timelines to 2-3 business days. That fee is used to offset additional costs including labor and overtime.

After receiving your logo and artwork design preferences, we will work to develop two sample artwork options for each packaging type for review. You will be asked to review a PDF of the artwork, share any minor feedback/adjustment requests and then sign-off on the proof. A physical proof is available for an additional fee of $79 per item. Once the proof has been approved, we will apply the design for all ordered products and send to production. Alternatively, we are happy to provide “die lines” and artwork guidelines if you have a team or designer that you prefer to use yourself for label development.

We do our best to keep artwork and set-up fees to a minimum by streamlining the process. That said, it does take real time, energy and resources to invest in artwork, design proofs and set-up labels for printing. To that end, there is a one time $299 set-up fee that covers initial set-up, artwork and label design for up to 5 SKUs. Each additional SKU can be set-up for a one time fee of $25/SKU.

Order minimums are determined based on the product set, packaging requirements and complexity. For standard packaging and products, private label orders start at $1500. 

ORDERING & MINIMUMS

Private label orders are processed, packed and labeled only after the order has been made. Since the production run is done outside of our normal product lines, each order requires separate configuration and setup to run artwork, labels and perform quality assurance. We believe that it is better to enforce a minimum order quantity than to charge a higher wholesale price per unit. 

Yes, we offer a “split shipment” option. At the time of ordering, you may request that your order is split 50/50 between two shipments, up to 6 months apart, for a 5% storage and convenience fee. While the full private label production will occur at the time of order, we will safely store and then ship the second half of your order at a future date that you specify, up to 6 months, and then only bill the 2nd part of the order at the time it ships. Pricing is established at the time of the original order. No modifications, cancellations or promotions may be applied to the second half of the order once placed and separate shipping costs will apply. You may call us to change the delivery date, so long as it is within the original 6 month window from the first order. Case packs can not be split. This “split shipment” option is new and provides customers a way to qualify for Private Label minimums, defer costs of holding inventory and acts as a convenient re-order method. On our side, it allows us to gain efficiencies in one off private label production runs from avoiding duplicate set/up and changeover times.
