rebadges

Changes brand identity

Rebadges means to apply a new brand name or label to something, typically a product manufactured by one company but sold under another's name.

Common in the automotive industry, where the same vehicle sells under different brands: The SUV was rebadged and sold as three different models.

More broadly, rebadging can mean repackaging or rebranding anything with superficial changes: They rebadged the same old policy with a new name.
