Private Label Cling Film: Complete OEM & Custom Branding Guide 2026

Private Label vs White Label: What’s the Difference?

• White label: Factory’s generic packaging with your sticker. Fastest launch, lowest cost, doesn’t build brand loyalty. Good for Amazon FBA generic sellers.
• Private label: Custom color box, custom-printed film with your logo, barcode, and design. Builds brand equity, 20-40% higher retail price, harder for competitors to copy. Good for supermarket chains, brand owners.

Private Label Process: Step by Step

1. Artwork Preparation

You provide: logo (AI/EPS), barcode (EAN/UPC), box artwork (AI/CDR/PDF). Box template will be provided by SUNWRAP for your designer.

2. Plate Making & Sampling

• Printing plates for film: 3-5 working days
• Color box printing plates: 5-7 working days
• Pre-production samples (film + box): 10-12 working days
• Cost: $150–500 total setup (plates only, charged once)

3. Production

• Standard lead time: 20–25 days after sample approval
• Each batch uses the same plates — no recurring setup costs
• Minimum order: Same as base product MOQ (3,000–5,000 boxes)

A Philippine importer launched their private label “FreshLock” in 2024:

• Started with 5,000 boxes (1 SKU, PVC 30cm×30m)
• Private label investment: $170 plate cost + standard MOQ
• Sold through Shopee and Lazada at ₱89/roll (market price ₱45-55 for generic)
• Within 6 months, added 2 more SKUs (PE version + 45cm size)
• Now imports 2×20’ GP every 3 months — fully branded, customer loyalty established

FAQ

Q: Can I use my own barcode? Yes. Provide your EAN-13 or UPC-A barcode. If you don’t have one, we can help register through GS1 or provide SUNWRAP’s barcode with your branding (common for new brands).

Q: What if my design needs changes after the plate is made? New plates needed — additional $150–500. Review pre-production samples carefully before signing off.
