MAYK-uh/ˈmeɪkə/

A maker is a person or company that produces something: the maker’s label; a policy maker. Manufacturer is the factory twin (already elsewhere); creator is wider. Name the maker before you log the fault. Mix-up: make is the verb (already in the dictionary); make-up is cosmetics (already elsewhere). Do not write maker for “make-up”.
