What a Good Private Label Agent Contract Should Include | BSDropshipping

A private label agent contract is one of the most important documents in your dropshipping business. It defines the relationship between you and your agent, protects your brand, and ensures your private label products are produced, customized, and delivered exactly as expected.

For Shopify sellers working with BSDropshipping, having a clear and detailed contract eliminates misunderstandings, unexpected costs, and quality issues. Whether you’re starting your first private label product or scaling your brand, here’s what a good private label agent contract should always include.

1. Clear Product Specifications

A proper contract must outline the exact details of your private label product, including:

  • Material type and thickness

  • Size and dimensions

  • Color variations

  • Product weight

  • Packaging requirements

  • Branding elements (logo position, print type, embroidery style, etc.)

At BSDropshipping, these details are confirmed before production so your brand identity stays consistent across all batches.

2. Branding & Customization Details

Private label branding goes beyond a logo. A strong contract should specify:

  • Custom box design

  • Dust bag material & print quality

  • Plastic mailer specifications

  • EVA foam insert thickness

  • Embroidery logo rules

  • Silicone logo requirements

  • Textile label replacements

  • Thank-you card design & printing

Every branding element is part of your customer experience. BSDropshipping ensures these details are locked into your contract so there are no surprises.

3. Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)

Many beginners don’t know MOQs can vary depending on:

  • Product type

A good contract clearly states:

  • The MOQ for each branded component

This helps you plan marketing campaigns, product launches, and stock flow.

  • Print/embroidery quality

  • Packaging condition requirements

  • Function tests for products

  • Acceptable defect rate (ideally very low)

At BSDropshipping, every private label order goes through multi-stage inspections, ensuring consistency and reducing returns.
