White Label & Private Label
Bring your own chemical product range to market with the support of HD Chemicals Ltd. We offer chemical supply, preparation, filling, packaging and labelling services for suitable products sold under our customers' own brands.
What Is the Difference Between White Label and Private Label?
The two terms are often used interchangeably, but they describe different levels of product customisation. Understanding the distinction can help you choose the right route for your business.
White Label Products
A white label product is based on an existing formula or established product specification. We prepare and package the product for sale under your brand, using the agreed packaging and labelling format.
Example: An existing cleaning solution supplied in 500 ml bottles with your own product branding, subject to the required labelling and safety information.
Private Label Products
A private label project offers a greater degree of customisation. We can discuss adjustments to the product specification, concentration, ingredients, packaging or other requirements to create a product suited to your brand.
Example: A custom-blended cleaning product developed to agreed performance and packaging requirements, with your business's own branding.
In short: white label generally means your branding on an existing product, while private label can involve a more tailored formulation or specification. The precise scope depends on the product, feasibility and applicable regulations.
Liquid, Powder and Custom-Blended Chemical Products
HD Chemicals works with a broad range of chemical materials and product formats. Depending on product suitability, technical feasibility and applicable requirements, our services may cover:
- Liquid products: suitable cleaning solutions, technical liquids, diluted chemicals and other liquid formulations.
- Solid products: selected powders, granules, crystals, flakes and related materials supplied in appropriate packaging.
- Custom blends: agreed combinations or adjusted concentrations of compatible materials, where technically and legally suitable.
- Filling and packing: bottles, jerry cans, tubs, stand-up pouches, bags and other packaging formats suitable for the contents.
- Labelling and branding: use of customer-supplied or agreed branded labels with any required hazard and regulatory information.
- Documentation: relevant product specifications and safety information appropriate to the product and intended market.
We can discuss projects for established businesses, distributors, online retailers and new brands. Products are reviewed individually; the availability of a format or formulation does not mean every chemical or blend can be supplied for every application.
Do You Have a Minimum Order Quantity?
We do not impose a fixed minimum order quantity across all white label and private label projects. However, small production runs can have a significantly higher cost per unit. Setup, preparation, packaging, labelling, cleaning, documentation and other fixed costs must be covered regardless of whether the batch contains a few units or a much larger quantity.
This means that producing a very small batch may be possible but expensive relative to the product quantity. Where appropriate, we can discuss practical pack sizes or increased batch volumes to help improve the overall unit cost. Certain products or packaging options may still have supplier-specific minimum quantities.
White Label & Private Label Cost Calculator
COMING SOON
We are preparing an online calculator to help you explore product, quantity and packaging options before requesting a detailed quotation.
Please use the calculator as a guide only when it becomes available. Its estimates will not be binding prices or confirmed offers. Once you have completed the calculator and submitted your requirements, our team will be able to check the details, calculate actual production and packaging costs, and come back to you with the best practical solution and a personalised quotation.
Final costs will depend on the actual chemical or blend, grade and concentration, batch quantity, selected container, labelling, required documentation, delivery and any additional production requirements.
