Manufacture in China under your brand.

Products built for real business. Selected categories and private label for companies that want to stop reselling and start owning a product.

Reselling versus owning a product

Buying and reselling pays a margin for a season. A product with your brand, your packaging and your specification builds something that can't be copied with a search engine. Manufacturing in China under your own label is not as expensive as it looks — what's expensive is doing it without knowing what to ask.

How private label works

  • Definition: what you want, for whom, and how it differs from what already exists.
  • Factory selection among plants already making something similar — faster and cheaper than starting from zero.
  • Samples and adjustments until the piece is the one you approved.
  • Packaging and branding: box, label, manual and customs marking.
  • Production with in-plant inspection before dispatch.
  • Repeat orders: the second one is always easier than the first.

Moulds, minimums and ownership

Two questions almost nobody asks in time. If the product needs a mould, who pays for it and who owns it? And if it's yours, can you move it to another factory? Get it in writing before paying the deposit. Minimum order quantities are negotiable more often than people think, especially when repeat business is on the table.

Design included

One SAGARA partner is a designer and the other trained in the arts. We read a drawing, a finish and a package, and we know when a factory is proposing a shortcut that will show up in the final product.

FAQ

What's the minimum order for private label?

It varies enormously by category: some products start at hundreds of units, others at thousands. If the factory already makes a similar model and you only change branding and packaging, the minimum drops a lot.

It's always negotiable. What isn't negotiable is the cost of a mould if the product needs one.

How long does product development take?

From idea to first sample, two to eight weeks depending on complexity. With moulds, longer. Full production comes after that.

Is the mould mine?

It must be in writing before you pay for it. If you pay, require that it states you own it and can remove it. It's one of the things we always check.

Can you protect my design in China?

We can include confidentiality and exclusivity terms in the factory contract, and register your trademark in China, which is the most practical step. Total protection doesn't exist; a direct relationship with a serious factory protects more than any clause.
