What Private Label Actually Means for Drinkware

Private labelling can start with an existing body and mould. You choose the model, colour, logo and packing; a new shape is a separate development project with its own mould quotation.

Your brand can appear on the selected product and packing. Confirm where the logo goes, the colours and any insert or box artwork on the sample.

An existing model lets you develop the branding without creating a new body mould. If you need a different shape, we can discuss the drawing, development work, cost and schedule with you.

Picking a Product to Private Label

Silver silk-screen private-label branding

Choose the body around the audience, intended use, budget and artwork. We can compare existing models and show how the logo and packing would work on a sample.

TI-1135 and TA-1042 are established models in our range. Tell us the intended use and logo, and we can compare their accessories and packing options with you.

Develop the colour, artwork and packing around your brand idea. We can help compare an existing body with any changes you have in mind, and confirm them on a sample.

Plan the quotation for your private-label order

For a model such as TI-1135, send the quantity, body colour, logo and gift-box idea. We can quote those choices together and confirm the sample arrangements.

Product and decoration: the model, quantity, colour and artwork determine the quote. Product-page price ranges remain B2B references; the order quotation gives you the agreed figures.

Packing and shipping: agree the box, insert, carton count, destination and shipping terms. Samples, courier costs and any requested product reports are discussed alongside them.

Use the confirmed product and shipping quote with your own selling costs to plan the launch. Freight, import costs and platform expenses depend on the route and your business arrangements.

Frequently asked questions

Does private label always require a new mould?▾

No. An existing model can be branded with agreed artwork and packing; a new body shape is a separate development and tooling project.

How can I request the applicable MOQ for a model?▾

Send the model code, stock or Pantone colour, decoration and packing idea. For each of the 29 models eligible for mixed stock colours, stock colours can be mixed to reach 500 pieces for that model; custom Pantone starts at 1,000 pieces per colour for those models. Other models are confirmed individually in the quotation.

How should MOQ fit an initial launch quantity?▾

Compare the supplier's confirmed minimum with your launch budget, expected sales and storage plan. Also ask how the packed volume affects shipping cost per unit before deciding the first order size.

For the 29 eligible models, is the 500-piece minimum per colour or total?▾

For those 29 models, the minimum is 500 pieces total for the model when using stock colours; the stock colours can be mixed to reach that quantity. Other models are confirmed individually.

What is the minimum for a custom Pantone colour on those models?▾

For the 29 models with the mixed stock-colour option, custom Pantone colour starts at 1,000 pieces per colour. Share the model and colour plan so the quotation can confirm the applicable options.

What should I include when asking for a model's minimum order quantity?▾

Send the model code, total quantity, stock or Pantone colour plan, logo method and packing idea. We can confirm which minimum applies to that exact combination before you decide the order size.
