A faster route to market, without looking generic.

Private label is suited to brands that want to work from existing APL product bases instead of beginning with full custom formulation. You can assess product quality first, then decide whether to move into production.

Manufacture locally

Work with an Australian manufacturing team that understands product development and commercial production.

Clear next step

Move from sample approval into packaging requirements, production planning and manufacturing.

Commercial support

Understand your next steps, MOQ, timelines and manufacturing requirements before you invest further.

Private Label vs Custom Formulation

Choose the pathway that matches your brand ambition.

Private Label is best when speed, validation and lower upfront development cost matter. Custom Formulation is best when you want a unique product, proprietary formulation and long-term brand value.

Private Label

  • Faster route to market
  • Lower development cost
  • Existing APL product bases
  • Suitable for market testing
  • Manufacturing from 2,500 units
IP ownership: Private label products do not include ownership of the underlying formula IP. Your brand, packaging artwork and customer-facing assets remain yours, while the product base remains part of APL’s private label formulation library.

Custom Formulation

  • Unique formulation exclusive to your brand
  • Proprietary product development
  • Custom ingredients, fragrance and performance targets
  • Premium brand positioning
  • Full R&D, testing and commercialisation support
IP ownership: Custom Formulation is designed for brands that want their own unique formulation and product IP. Ownership and usage rights are confirmed as part of your custom formulation agreement.
