Construction

The dual-language tag on a bird feeder says Fabricación en plástico for ¨Plastic construction.¨ There must be a better choice. Fabricación de plástico? or Hecho de plástico? or...?

That's what I thought too. I still wonder why they had it as Fabricación en rather than Fabricación de.
