In simple terms the difference between white labelling and private labelling is to specify as to what the product or the service will contain.

White label products are where a retailer hires a third party manufacturer to manufacture the products under the retailer’s brand name, As a buyer the retailer only specify what the label looks like. But whereas the manufacturer decides what goes into the manufacturing of the product i.e. its ingredients and packaging. Leaving the label to be decided by the retailer.

Private label products are manufactured by a contract or third party manufacturer and sold under the retailer’s brand name, but here the catch is as a buyer/ retailer specify everything from the ingredients and the label of the product to its packaging. Basically the retailer pay to have it produced and then it’s up to the retailer where the product would be sold either to the wholesalers or directly to the end customers.

The Manufactured branded products as it suggests is produced by the manufacturers  under their own brand name, manufacturer produces the product and bear all the expenses related to the product, the manufacturer also has to manage the long distribution channels to distribute their product which would ultimately reach their target customers.

Drop shipping is a part of e-commerce where the products are sold on an online store and the merchandise moves directly from the wholesaler to the final customer, the store owners in dropshipping does not have to maintain stocks instead they directly purchased from a third party supplier it requires to work closely with the suppliers and ensure seamless supply chain.
