Investopedia explains 'Private Brand'

Many private brands have seen success due to the flexibility in production and little capital required to start (no need to build manufacturing plants). For the manufacturer the benefit of selling private brands is the increased sales volume and stable supply contracts. There are risks associated with relying on an outside firm, but usually these firms are well established and specialize in producing the product.
