Types of Private Label
• Store brands - The retailer's name is very evident on the packaging.
• Store sub-brands - Products where the retailer's name is low-key on the packaging.
• Umbrella branding - A generic brand, independent from the name of the retailer.
• Individual brands - A name used in one category, this is only used to promote a "real" discount product line.
• Exclusive brands - Again a name used in one category, but to promote "added value" products within the category
