We the People toilet paper (novelty printed toilet paper)

ownerNot applicable (USA)
originUnited States (design/text originates from the U.S. Constitution)
manufacturedPrimarily in China, but also produced in other locations

Identification

This item is a novelty / gag toilet paper roll printed with the opening words and text of the U.S. Constitution (the Preamble starting "We the People"). The design copies historic Constitutional text rather than identifiable commercial packaging or a specific consumer brand. (archives.gov)

Manufacturing & production notes

Printed novelty toilet-paper items (puzzle, joke, or themed printed sheets) are commonly sold by gift and novelty wholesalers and are frequently manufactured in China; supplier and wholesale listings for printed/novelty toilet paper explicitly list "Made in China." Small-run or specialty items with similar designs may also be produced or printed domestically by independent sellers, so production occurs in multiple locations. Based on marketplace and supplier patterns, the most common production origin for novelty printed rolls is China, with occasional U.S.-made or other-region small-batch items. (faire.com)

Brand & ownership

The phrase and text "We the People" and the Preamble are taken from the U.S. Constitution and are public-domain historical text; they are not proprietary to a single commercial brand. As a result, novelty products using that text are typically unbranded or sold under many different small retailers' private labels or generic novelty brands. There is no single originating company or ultimate brand owner for the phrase itself. (archives.gov)

Why "Primarily in China, but also produced in other locations"

Wholesale listings and custom-print tissue manufacturers show that novelty and custom-printed toilet tissue is widely produced in Chinese paper factories and offered to retailers worldwide; at the same time, some specialty patriotic items using the same "We the People" design (e.g., flags, prints or limited-run products) are produced in the U.S. by specific sellers, supporting the statement that production is primarily in China but also occurs elsewhere.
