What Is White Labeling in the CBD Industry? A Guide for Hemp Entrepreneurs, Retailers, and Brands

July 15, 2025

Trust us, launching a CBD brand can feel overwhelming—between sourcing, formulating recipes, packaging, compliance, and distribution, the upfront investment may feel like some formidable foe. Coming from a small, family-owned business that has done exactly this, we’re here to share some good news: There’s a better, cost-effective way to launch CBD products to market. Enter: White labeling.

At Seventh Hill CBD, we offer premium white label and private label CBD edibles, including full-spectrum Delta 9 gummies, sleep gummies, caramels, rice krispies treats, and more. In this article, we’re here to answer all of your questions on how white labeling works and how it can help you scale a hemp edibles brand of your very own. 

What Is White Labeling in the CBD Industry?

White labeling means rebranding pre-formulated products made by a manufacturer and selling them under your own label and brand. You don’t have to invest in equipment or research and development (R&D) —you just choose from proven, compliant products and apply your own unique brand identity.

Have you ever wanted to launch a CBD line but don’t have a commercial kitchen or testing facility? You can partner with Seventh Hill to rebrand existing hemp products with your own logo and packaging and go to market — with ease.

What Is An Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) Partner?

The foundation of white labeling is OEM manufacturing—Original Equipment Manufacturing. In the hemp world, OEMs like Seventh Hill produce CBD products that others can brand and sell. OEMs focus on lean production: eliminating waste, streamlining manufacturing, improving turnaround time, and lowering costs for partners. This allows small brands (like ours!), startups, and retailers to scale quickly with low overhead and high-quality hemp products.

White Label Versus Private Label: What’s The Difference?

These two models offer different levels of customization: White label CBD products are pre-formulated and ready to go—you simply add your branding. This is ideal for businesses looking to launch quickly with minimal setup. Private label CBD products are developed in collaboration with our team. You can customize flavor profiles, cannabinoid ratios, packaging formats, and more. This route takes more time and investment but allows for a fully unique product line. At Seventh Hill CBD, we are equipped to offer both, so you can choose the path that aligns best with your goals.

What Products Can Be White Labeled?

We currently white label and wholesale a variety of CBD and hemp-derived edibles including full-spectrum Delta 9 + CBD gummies, CBN sleep gummies, vegan and gluten-free edibles, high potency CBD oils, decadent caramels, krispies treats, and even body balm. All of our products are third-party tested, USDA organic, and compliant with federal hemp regulations (less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC by dry weight).

Benefits Of White Labeling With Seventh Hill CBD

By partnering with an OEM like Seventh Hill CBD, white labeling offers partners a list of advantages, including faster speed to market, lower startup and operational costs, proven, consistent reliable formulas, and simplified compliance. White labeling allows businesses to focus on what’s most important: customer experience. For new businesses or even established retailers, white labeling is often a low-risk, high-reward model.We’re committed to helping brands of all sizes grow with consistent, compliant products and responsive support.

What Are Other OEM Models to Know?

While white label and private label are the most common models, there are a few other approaches to consider. Single-source manufacturing involves growing, extracting, formulating, and selling products entirely in-house, which requires significant investment and full vertical integration. Since we did all the legwork, like starting to grow cannabis on our own farm, our partners don’t have to. On the other end of the spectrum, the reseller model allows you to purchase ready-made CBD products and sell them under the original brand name. White labeling falls in the sweet spot between these extremes, offering flexibility and control without the heavy overhead.
