A better way to source products from China and Vietnam

We are a kiwi product sourcing agency helping SMEs source high-quality products from China and Vietnam with expert on-the-ground support.

White Labelling Done Properly.

Sourcing white label products sounds simple in theory — find a factory, put your logo on it, done. In practice, it’s where a lot of NZ businesses get burned. Wrong factory, inconsistent quality, hidden MOQs, communication breakdowns, dodgy freight. Epic Sourcing takes all of that off your plate.

Skip the Alibaba Rabbit Hole

We do the supplier search for you — filtering out trading companies, bad actors, and factories that can’t meet your specs. You get a shortlist of verified manufacturers, not a gamble.

Quality You Can Actually Count On

Our on-the-ground team in China inspects samples and conducts pre-shipment checks before anything leaves the factory. No nasty surprises when the container arrives.

Flat Rate — No Hidden Kick-backs

We charge a flat project rate and nothing else. No commission on your order value, no incentive to push you toward a pricier factory. What’s good for your product is good for us.

Your Brand, Built to Scale

Whether you’re launching your first SKU or adding to an established range, our process grows with you. We help you build manufacturer relationships that are yours to keep.

White Label Products NZ

Everything You Need to Know About White Labelling in New Zealand

What Are White Label Products?

White label products are manufactured by a third-party factory and sold under your own brand. You don't design the product from scratch — the factory produces it to a standard specification, and you apply your branding. Think: your logo on a supplement tub, your hang tag on an activewear set, your label on a candle.

It's one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways for NZ businesses to get a branded product range to market. You skip the R&D, reduce your upfront investment, and still sell something that looks and feels like yours.

The challenge? Finding the right factory — one that actually manufactures (not just trades), meets your quality standards, can hit your MOQ, and won't ghost you after the first sample. That's where most NZ importers hit a wall.

White Label vs Private Label — What's the Difference?

White label means you're branding an existing product the factory already makes — faster and lower cost to get started. Private label means you're creating a custom product specification, which gives you more differentiation but takes more time and investment. We offer both. Not sure which is right for you? Book a call and we'll work it out together.

Popular White Label Categories for NZ Brands

  • Activewear, athleisure & sportswear (Guangdong, China + Vietnam)
  • Health supplements, vitamins & wellness products
  • Skincare, cosmetics & personal care
  • Home & living (candles, textiles, kitchenware)
  • Pet products
  • Gym equipment & fitness accessories
  • Packaging, bags & accessories
  • Electronics accessories (with RCM compliance — we'll guide you)

NZ Compliance: What White Label Importers Need to Know

MPI & Biosecurity: If your white label product contains organic materials (wood, bamboo, leather, natural fibres), it must comply with MPI biosecurity requirements. We flag these during the sourcing stage — not after your container is sitting at the port.

Product Safety & Labelling: Consumer products sold in NZ must meet safety standards under the Consumer Guarantees Act and Product Safety Act. For electronics, this includes RCM requirements.

NZ Customs & Duty: Most consumer goods attract a 5% import duty + GST. Some product categories benefit from CPTPP preferential rates when sourced from Vietnam.

Why NZ Brands Choose Epic Sourcing

Most sourcing agents earn a percentage commission on your order value — meaning the bigger and pricier your order, the more they earn. We don't work that way. Epic Sourcing charges a flat project rate. Our only incentive is to find you the best factory for your product, at the right price, with the quality you need.

Finding a reliable white label factory isn't just about the lowest price — it's about finding the manufacturer who cares about your product as much as you do. We help you find that factory.
