#5 In reality, Tom, what Company X provides is generally not the manufactured product in a private label package, but use of their equipment and skilled workers that would otherwise be sitting idle. The formulae and raw materials are provided by the private label, and may differ markedly from what goes into the brand product.

#6 And ironically, when the cheaper private label product made with Company X's equipment and labor cuts into their sales, they can't just stop, because what the contracting private label pays is real money too.
