Country of origin is a means of determining where a particular dispenser was produced.

Most Pez dispensers have the country of origin clearly molded on one side of the dispenser. However, some dispensers have a Printed Country name. For dispensers that have No Country listed on the stem, the IMC can be used to help determine where the dispenser was made.
