Build your brand
Private label spirits manufacturing in South Africa.
You bring the brand and the market. BSOA brings the liquid, the packaging, the licences and the production line — and helps you get to a compliant, shelf-ready product.
Choose your route
Four routes, one manufacturing partner.
The right route depends on whether you need an existing liquid or a bespoke one, whether this is an ongoing brand or a once-off bottling, and whether you already run a liquor business.
Terminology
Plain definitions, so nothing is assumed.
These terms are used consistently across the site and in every quotation.
- Private White Label
- You own the brand. BSOA provides an existing or non-exclusive liquid profile that may also be used elsewhere.
- Private Proprietary Brand
- You own the brand. BSOA develops a specific liquid profile for that brand, subject to the signed commercial and IP agreement.
- Private Event Label
- A once-off personalised bottling for a defined event, not an ongoing retail brand.
- Co-packing
- BSOA bottles and packs for an established liquor business; liquid and dry goods may be supplied by you or procured by BSOA.
- Licensing support
- Practical guidance on compliant routes to market. Not legal advice — exact responsibilities are defined in the contract and verified for each route.
Process
Six steps from brief to bottle.
Every stage has a decision point you control, so cost, quantity and responsibility are agreed before anything is filled.
- 01
Brief
We start with the market, the consumer, the channel and the commercial ambition — not the bottle.
- 02
Concept and liquid
Select an existing liquid profile or develop one for your brand, then evaluate and approve samples.
- 03
Commercial proposal
Agree scope, costs, minimum quantities, payment terms and who is responsible for what.
- 04
Packaging and artwork
Bottle, closure, label and carton selected and proofed, with statutory label requirements checked.
- 05
Production
Filling, labelling, packing and quality checks at our Cape Town facility, in formats from miniatures to 750 ml.
- 06
Route to market
Bonded storage, dispatch, documentation and practical guidance for local sale or export.
