The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Our efficient cutting and stitching methods, along with precise printing, eliminate fabric waste. All of our standard sizes are designed to have no fabric waste. We recycle all our office paper and cardboard, cans and bottles, and re-use one-sided office paper, which is bound into note pads. And, of course, we re-use our Enviro-Tote bags when we shop! A history of recycling Enviro-Tote began operations in Manchester's historic Millyard and purchased stitching equipment from garment giant Pandora, which was going out of business after providing decades of work to local stitchers. In addition to recycling Pandora's stitching machines, we also hired Pandora stitchers, most are still with our company today. Value of working together We value our employees and their work, as evidenced by our affiliation with the Fair Labor Association as a Category C licensee. Since 1990, we have grown from 12 to 40 employees, many who have been with us since the beginning. As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of working well together. This harmony and attention to detail is seen in every bag we make. |
