In today’s competitive market, it is becoming difficult for small businesses to stand out. Private labeling offers a powerful solution if you are an eco-conscious small business struggling in the crowded market.

Private label products are one of the most effective and often overlooked strategies. When combined with the charm and sustainability of handmade felt products, private labeling becomes a tool to build a unique identity, and connect with eco-conscious consumers.

If you are running a small sustainable business, private label felt products can help you grow your brand, increase profit margins, and create customer loyalty, without manufacturing products yourself.

What Are Private Label Handmade Felt Products?

A private label is a product a third party produces but sells under its name. For example, a gift shop might sell felt coasters with its logo, produced by a supplier like Felt and Yarn. This allows you to customize the product’s shape, packaging, design, logo, and brand identity.

Higher Profit Margin

Private label goods often come at wholesale prices, allowing businesses to set their retail markup while maintaining a high-quality offering. According to industry studies, retailers can earn a 20-30% larger profit margin with private label products than branded products, as there are no middlemen in private labels. Also, at Felt and Yarn, we provide wholesale bulk discounts, further reducing costs for large orders.
