What Does Made In The USA Mean For Plantation Shutters in Boise?
When you’re shopping for home improvement materials in Boise, such as window treatments, furniture, or shelving, you may often notice the term “Made In The USA” thrown around as a selling point. Though it may seem like a standard term, there are many requirements necessary in order to meet compliance to be characterized as such.
The FTC dictates that the label “Made in America” should only be used on merchandise that are manufactured inside the United States borders from "all or virtually all" US-based materials. That term works for grocery products, clothing, the things we drive, and virtually all other products that are sold both at the store and online, including “Made in the USA'' plantation shutters -- like our popular Polywood® plantation shutters.
How Low-Cost Plantation Shutters Are Made
One of the ways plantation shutter producers reduce their spending is to have some of their components assembled in another country and/or the whole shutter itself built offshore. Non-USA manufactured shutters are not always quickly identified because not all corporations list their country of origin.
Many plantation shutter producers claim they are “Made in the USA”, but actually, they only assemble in the USA—and this does not meet the FTC’s “Made in the USA” protocols. This can be difficult to determine because many producers do not specify where they get their supplies. Just know, when a company sources their parts from overseas and puts them together in the USA, they should not be placing the “Made in the USA” label anywhere.
Benefits Of Buying Products Manufactured In The USA
The sole perk of purchasing “Made In The USA” merchandise is that you support American trade. But there are other tangible benefits, too. Custom-built items in Boise which are “Made in the USA” are known for having faster delivery times, exceptional overall quality, and a greater degree of customization. For example, when you order a Polywood® plantation shutter from Sunburst, it will be custom-built to fit your distinct window measurements in about 3 - 5 weeks opposed to 8 - 12+ weeks for shutters built offshore!
