Made in PAKISTAN

when i was in Pakistan i never preferred to buy things that says “Made in Pakistan”. but after i moved abroad i get so overwhelmed and delighted to see things that are “Made in Pakistan”.

so before buying anything do you see its manufacturing location?
and if it turned out to be “Made in Pakistan” how do you respond to it?
most of us are migrated from Pakistan, so is there any shift you see in your responses (like mine…or you just dont care)?

and many of us are also born in these abroad countries, so how do they respond to these “Made in Pakistan” labels?

what kind of labels you guys usually prefer to see?

ps. me and my sibz often plays games of guessing “where it (that thing) is made” kinda games…so do you guys also every played this kinda game.

ps2. ya…i just saw something, labeled “Made in Pakistan”, so i was triggered to start this thread : D

Re: Made in PAKISTAN

Yes Towels, T-Shirts, Soccer balls, Surgical Instruments....Basmati Rice all are pretty good quality from Pakistan....:)

Re: Made in PAKISTAN

^ and how do you respond, when u see them?

business is all about psychology.
i think it was in taiwan where people refuse to buy some cellphone brand cuz it said "made in taiwan" or something...and they wanted "Made in America" label.

zobia baji,

writing the child labour essay was no fun.
now you may call those games but to me those products were the product of a child's tears, sweat, blood, and emotions.
so when I see something that says "made in Pakistan" I cry like a girl.
haha

Re: Made in PAKISTAN

I am on the same page. When I was in Pakistan, I preferred things made in the US. When I moved here, when I see things made in Pakistan, I prefer to buy those for 2 reasons:

1) To support the country economically
2) They are not bad quality.

Products made for Pakistani people are mostly bad quality but when they are produced to export, they go through more inspections because they don't want to lose their international customers that are paying them more than Pakistani customers. So they make sure that the quality of products is good.

Re: Made in PAKISTAN

Yes I prefer things made and/or grown in Pakistan or Bangladesh…especially condiments…achar, sherbat, spices, T-Shirts, Towels etc…it is simply a preference…also they are the best…:k:
