private label

Store's exclusive brand

Private label refers to products manufactured by one company but sold under another company's brand name, typically a retailer's own brand.

These goods are often positioned as lower-cost alternatives to name-brand products: The store's private label coffee costs half what the national brands charge.

Retailers use private label products to improve profit margins and build customer loyalty to their stores rather than to outside manufacturers.
