Step-by-Step Guide: How to Start Private Label Dropshipping

Custom branded packaging design for dropshipping business

If you’re looking to build a real eCommerce brand instead of just selling random products online, private label dropshipping is your best path forward. Unlike traditional dropshipping, where you sell generic products from suppliers, private labeling lets you create your own branded line of products — complete with custom packaging, logos, and a unique customer experience.

In this private label dropshipping guide, we’ll walk you step-by-step through the entire process — from product selection to fulfillment — and show how BSDropshipping makes it simple, fast, and profitable.

What Is Private Label Dropshipping?

Private label dropshipping is a business model where you sell products manufactured and shipped by a supplier, but branded under your own name. You control your logo, packaging, and marketing — while your supplier handles storage, inventory, and shipping.

This approach allows you to:

• Build a recognizable brand that stands out.

• Earn higher profit margins due to unique branding.

• Develop customer loyalty through a consistent experience.

Step 1: Choose Your Product Niche

Every successful brand starts with a clear focus. Select a niche that matches your interests, expertise, and market demand. For example:

• Beauty and skincare products with custom packaging.

• Home and lifestyle goods with sustainable materials.

• Fashion and accessories featuring custom embroidered logos.

Research what’s trending and identify products that people buy repeatedly. BSDropshipping can help you source high-quality products and provide professional advice on what works best for private labeling.

Step 2: Find a Reliable Private Label Supplier

Choosing the right partner is crucial. You need a supplier who understands branding, customization, and reliable fulfillment.

That’s exactly what BSDropshipping offers — a complete private label solution for Shopify sellers.

• Product sourcing from verified factories.

Step 4: Build Your Shopify Store

Shopify is one of the most popular eCommerce platforms for dropshippers because it’s easy to use and integrates perfectly with BSDropshipping.

When setting up your Shopify store:

• Choose a clean, mobile-friendly theme.

• Write product descriptions that highlight your brand story.

• Add lifestyle images that show your product’s value.

Once your store is ready, connect it to your BSDropshipping account for automatic order fulfillment and inventory sync.

Step 5: Create Private Label Packaging

Private label success relies heavily on presentation. Packaging is what transforms an ordinary purchase into a branded experience.

BSDropshipping offers multiple private label packaging options, including:

• Custom Boxes: Professionally printed with your logo and design.

• Branded Mailers: Durable and stylish for lightweight items.

• Dust Bags: Perfect for fashion and jewelry brands.

• EVA Foam Inserts: Add luxury and protection to your products.

These small details make a big difference in how customers perceive your brand — and they encourage repeat purchases.

Step 6: Set Up Private Label Fulfillment

Once your brand assets are ready, BSDropshipping handles the rest — from product storage to delivery.

Here’s how it works:

1. Your customer places an order on Shopify.

2. BSDropshipping automatically receives the order.

3. Products are branded, packed, and shipped under your store name.

4. Tracking details are updated instantly in your Shopify dashboard.

This seamless private label fulfillment process saves you time, reduces stress, and ensures every customer gets a professional experience.

Step 7: Market and Scale Your Brand

With your private label dropshipping business set up, focus on marketing and brand growth:

• Use social media ads to promote your unique brand story.

• Encourage user-generated content to build social proof.

• Offer loyalty programs or thank-you coupons for repeat customers.

As your sales grow, BSDropshipping can help you expand your product line and manage increased order volume efficiently.
