  • What is it: The iPhone app that tells you where products are made by scanning a barcode using the iPhone’s camera.

  • How can I get it on my iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/madeinamerica or by visiting the App Store and searching for “Made In America”

Why Buy American Products?

Products made in the US are no longer sought after just because of their high quality, it is more common to find the patriotic citizens of this country searching for products made in the US to support internal growth and job creation. For domestic companies that have held out on outsourcing and moving jobs overseas, we feel they deserve some extra time in the limelight and a second look by consumers when looking at products on the store shelves.

Support companies based in the US by buying our app and showing it off to your friends to show them what they can do to help.

The mindset of the American consumer is changing. Having the cheapest price no longer cuts it, now people want safe, high quality products that contribute back to and protect our own economy. Consumers are finding that to save ourselves we must support ourselves, and what better way to do that than by buying products manufactured and designed in or otherwise contributing to the economy of the U.S.A.

Remember that saying “Made in America” does not mean something is made in the U.S. “America” can usually includ Mexico, Canada, or other Central American countries. Now, by scanning the barcodes of products and looking at manufacturer certifications, users can see exactly what they’re buying in terms of where it came from and which economies it contributed to.

“Made In America” was developed in Rolla, Missouri by the Interdisciplinary Design Collaborative LLC (IDC) and is fully owned and operated by patriotic US citizens.
