Living outside Pakistan, any subtle or obvious reference to Pakistan, naturally catches our attention and make us feel proud.
In US at least I’ve noticed that if you go to any large retail place, you are guaranteed to see at least two items related to Pakistan. One is a made in Pakistan ’soccer ball’ and other are the music CDs of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Occasionally one also comes across textile items from Pakistan.
Recently I’ve also seen books related to Benazir Bhutto se
lling in front shelves of book stores across US, Canada and China. I am sure same is the case in many other countries too.
Tonight I was walking with my family in a large retail store in rural Missouri when we came across this whole section of towels which were made in Pakistan (see both photos). I was happily surprised and bought one.
What items have you seen with ‘Made in Pakistan’ label?
You can visit ATP on your Mobile Phone. Here's how!
Dr. Haider, i also had a similar experience as yours. In one of my previous jobs, all the tweezers used in our lab had ‘Pakistan’ written on them. They were most likely the product of Wazirabad.
Once I was talking to a veterenarian from Thailand who told me that cheapest (price wise) surgical instruments for their animal clinic came from Pakistan
I am a scientist and we have tweezers that are “Made in Pakistan” in our lab. We have three kinds of tweezers one that are Swedish and the others are made in USA and Pakistan. It feels good to see a product that is comparable to Swedish and USA product. Pakistani tweezers are lot cheaper than the other two. Ofcourse there is a difference in quality but not as much as is the difference in price that is why I guess Pakistani surgical instruments are surviving.
T-shirts, shirts, socks, underwear, pants, towels and many other textile products. tweezers, scissors etc. Spices, eastern drinks etc. Soccer, volleyballs etc.
Many Made in Pakistan T-Shirts can be found in Sears, Goody’s, JC Penney, Walmart and Kmart. Some are good quality, others are not. I always seek out Made in Pakistan stuff when I go clothes shopping, and buy it if it is nice and good price.
Used to love seeing surgical instruments “made in Pakistan”
Lately they ‘ve been taken over by made in China. Why?
Dont answer that. I know the reason.
Right now I am in a rush but later I would comment on the quality of the Tshirts “made in pakistan” that I tried in the mall.
Recently I got hand printed duvet, made in Pakistan, made me a happy Pakistani-American.

‘Professional hairdressing scissors’ at Boots. I bought them just because it said ‘made in Pakistan’ but unfortunately didnt work as well as I was hoping it to. Also found the similar thing at much cheaper rate elsewhere. Well, I’ll keep it as a souvenir!
T-shirts in Blue Navy. I’ll continue to shope there until I’ll seem um…..
