brandless

Lacking company identification

Brandless describes products or goods sold without a prominent brand name or logo, often emphasizing simplicity, lower cost, or generic quality over brand identity.

A brandless item lacks the marketing markup associated with name brands: The store sells brandless household essentials.

The term can also describe a minimalist aesthetic that deliberately avoids visible branding.
