OK, so some Americans take pride in athletic prowess; others take comfort in our collective gorgeousness.
But at WallCandy, our American pride is based in the workplace and in the quality of workmanship.
We not only manufacture every WallCandy product in U.S. factories, but all of our shipping materials are made in the U.S.A. as well!
It’s all about quality control. We strongly believe that the level of quality we’ve maintained in both materials and printing is the real key to our success. Our removable wall decals and stickers are first and foremost a family product, and always have been since Allison Krongard founded the company almost 10 years ago.
We constantly get solicitations from printing companies abroad who offer amazing prices, but when Allison tests their samples in her home with her children, she usually immediately discovers inferior quality materials, poor adhesives or inconsistent color or clarity with the printing.
Hey, we’re not xenophobic. Certainly, there are plenty of quality manufacturers overseas (they don’t seem to be marketing to us, though). But making our wall decals here guarantees that we can get the products quickly, easily maintain our stock levels and be 100 percent sure that we’re getting the same quality materials we’ve ordered.
Allison covets the ability to get on a plane and supervise the printing process in just a few hours — to look at the colors in person, to make sure what goes on your wall is what we pictured in the first place.
Also, quite frankly, we manufacture our fashionable wall decorations in the USA out of pure patriotism. Allison says she’s “not brave enough to serve in the military,” but wants to do her part “to help keep American factories rolling and trucks delivering our goods.”
No need to pick up a gun, Allison! Just keep on making those attractive removable wall decals — personally, I’m a huge fan of the Dyno-Mite dinosaurs — and know that a lot of customers truly appreciate your “Made in the USA” commitment.
