Strategic Sourcing Framework: White Label vs. Private Label
Critical distinction for brand positioning and cost control in industrial equipment.
| Model | White Label | Private Label | Procurement Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Definition | Supplier’s existing machine rebranded with buyer’s logo. Zero technical customization. | Fully customized machine (specs, software, aesthetics) under buyer’s brand. Supplier owns IP. | Private Label preferred for LGCSM. 87% of SourcifyChina clients in metal processing adopt this for differentiation, service control, and margin protection. |
| Cost Impact | +5-8% markup vs. supplier’s base model. Lower setup fees. | +12-18% markup. Higher NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) costs ($8K-$25K). | Factor NRE into TCO. For MOQ >1,000 units, Private Label ROI exceeds White Label within 14 months. |
| Lead Time | 8-12 weeks (off-the-shelf base model) | 14-20 weeks (customization + validation) | Buffer 3+ weeks for 2026 compliance certifications (CE, UL, GB). White Label suits urgent needs. |
| Risk Profile | High commoditization risk. Limited IP control. | Buyer controls specs/service; supplier retains design IP. | Mitigate risk: Require 3rd-party IP verification (e.g., via China Patent Office search) in contracts. |
Key Insight: Private Label dominates 2026 LGCSM sourcing due to buyer demand for machine-specific software integration (e.g., IoT monitoring) and localized service. White Label is fading except for budget-tier distributors.
