Knowing the Difference between White Label, OEM and In-House Manufactured Products.
Knowing the Difference between White Label, OEM and In-House Manufactured Products.
In today's business world, companies have several options when it comes to developing and selling products. Three terms that are commonly used are white label products, OEM products, and in-house manufactured products. While they may seem similar, there are fundamental differences between these types of products. In this post, we'll explore the differences between white label products, OEM products, and in-house manufactured products.
What are White Label Products?
White label products are products that are produced by one company and then rebranded by another company to sell as its own. The company that sells the white label product does not produce the product itself. Instead, it purchases the product from a manufacturer and puts its own label on it.
For example, a company that wants to sell a line of skincare products may purchase pre-made products from a manufacturer and rebrand them with its own label. This way, the company can sell the skincare products as its own product without having to invest in research and development or production costs.
White label products are often used by retailers who want to offer a product that they don't manufacture themselves. It's an easy way for them to enter new markets and expand their product offerings without having to invest in research and development or manufacturing capabilities.
However there are several trade-offs:
Limited control over the product: Since the product is produced by a third-party manufacturer, the company selling the white-label product has limited control over the product's quality, design, and features.
Dependency on the manufacturer: If the manufacturer experiences production or quality issues, it can impact the company's ability to sell the product. Additionally, if the manufacturer decides to stop producing the product, the company selling the white-label product may be left without a product to sell.
What are OEM Products?
OEM products, on the other hand, are products that are designed and manufactured by one company and then sold to another company to sell under its own brand name. The original company is known as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
For example, a company that wants to sell a line of smartphones under its own brand name can work with an OEM to design and manufacture the smartphones to its specifications. The smartphones will then be sold under the company's brand name, but they will have been designed and manufactured by the OEM.
OEM products are often superior to white-label products as the products are specifically designed and often contain proprietary technologies and the company will have full control over the performance and design of the product.
What are In-House Manufactured Products?
In-house manufactured products are products that are designed and manufactured by the same company. The company has full control over the design, production, and branding of the product.
For example, a company that specializes in the production of power track will design and manufacture its own power tracks in-house. This allows the company to have complete control over the product's design, quality, and branding.
In-house manufacturing is often used by companies that have the expertise and resources to develop and manufacture their own products. It allows them to have complete control over the product and the ability to make changes and improvements quickly.
In-house manufactured products are known to be superior as there is full direct control from design, R&D and manufacturing of the product.
