01What Private Label Means
A private-label program takes a manufacturer's existing platform and stamps your branding, finish, jaw set and packaging onto it. The vise is proven; the label is yours. It is the faster, lower-risk alternative to building a vise from nothing — and it starts on the same manufacturing floor.
02Platform Selection
Start with the platform that matches your market: light duty for hardware retail, medium for workshops, heavy for industrial. A 6″ medium-duty bench vise covers the broadest market; heavy-duty models cover fabrication. The choosing guide walks through the parameters.
03What You Can Customize
Jaw width, opening, jaw material and hardness, base type, paint or powder-coat, logo and packaging — all are selectable on the same frame. The body materials and jaw materials explain the trade-offs behind each option.
04MOQ, Lead Time and Certification
MOQ, lead time, sample approval and certifications are the commercial details that decide the program. They are laid out on the OEM manufacturing page and depend on volume, finish and the certifications your market requires.
05Private Label vs OEM vs ODM
Private label uses an existing platform. OEM builds to your drawing. ODM starts from a concept. For bench vises, private label is the most common entry point because the tooling already exists. The full OEM comparison explains where each route fits.
Whichever route you choose, the product range shows the breadth of platforms available.
