effigie

English translation: label

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:effigie
English translation:label

French term or phrase: effigie
Context: the term appears in a list of products/services provided by a company specializing in fine teas and herbal teas. "Les trois dernières années ont été consacrées au développement de nouvelles tisanes et de nouveaux thés pour les clients suivants, et sous leur propre effigie."

I assume "effigie" means "label" but I hesitate because, in an earlier paragraph, the author uses "étiquette privée" - and that clearly means "private label."

yes, label
Explanation:
(or the picture on the label, but it means the same thing)
I suppose it's the customer's label ? ("leur")

I suppose that in the earlier paragraph \'étiquette privée\' was referring to this company\'s label and in this one the teas are sold with the customer\'s logos and names.

Yes, the private label refers to this business's own teas; but it also blends/packages teas for other companies using their labels. Thanks.

If you don't want to repeat label, maybe you could use brand or brand name.
