JORDAN, Circuit Judge:
Flor Andrea Rodriguez Asalde worked as a valet for First Class Parking Systems LLC. She and others who also worked as valets brought claims in a putative collective action under the minimum-wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act against FCPS and related parties (whom we refer to collectively as FCPS). The district court granted summary judgment in favor of FCPS, but did so based on a misreading of the term "materials" in 29 U.S.C. § 203(s)(1)(A)(i). We therefore reverse and remand.
I
The FLSA enumerates the employment situations that are covered by its provisions. See 29 U.S.C. § 203(s). The plaintiffs here asserted that their employment was covered by the "materials" prong of the "handling clause" under the "enterprise coverage" provision in the Act. See Polycarpe v. E&S Landscaping Serv., Inc., 616 F.3d 1217, 1220-21 (11th Cir. 2010). Cf. Thorne v. All Restoration Servs., Inc., 448 F.3d 1264, 1266 (11th Cir. 2006) (addressing "individual coverage" rather than "enterprise coverage"). The "handling clause" provides that an entity is subject to "enterprise coverage" under the FLSA if it "has employees handling, selling, or otherwise working on goods or materials that have been moved in or produced for [interstate or international] commerce by any person." 29 U.S.C. § 203(s)(1)(A)(i). See also § 203(b) (defining "commerce").
FCPS moved for summary judgment on several grounds, including that the plaintiffs could not provide evidence that any employees handled any qualifying "goods or materials." The district court agreed and granted summary judgment on this basis alone. The court concluded that the plaintiffs' activity of parking cars did not meet the handling clause's "goods or materials" requirement. It also ruled that the fact that the plaintiffs "handled walkie-talkies, pens, uniforms, valet tickets and other items that originated out of state" was irrelevant to the analysis because "[FCPS] was the ultimate consumer of those goods." Rodriguez Asalde v. First Class Parking Sys. LLC, No. 16-cv-20027, *12502016 WL 5464599, at *3 n.4 (S.D. Fla. Sept. 29, 2016).

We review the district court's summary judgment order de novo, and view the evidence (and inferences) in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs, who were the non-moving parties. See Howlett v. Birkdale Shipping Co., S.A., 512 U.S. 92, 94, 114 S.Ct. 2057, 129 L.Ed.2d 78 (1994); Allen v. Bd. of Pub. Educ., 495 F.3d 1306, 1310 (11th Cir. 2007). Based on the record before us, we hold that the evidence the plaintiffs presented sufficed to allow a jury to conclude that uniforms used by FCPS' employees were "materials" within the meaning of § 203(s)(1)(A)(i).
A
"Goods" and "materials" are distinct (i.e., not overlapping) categories; an object may be a "good" in certain contexts and a "material" in others. See Polycarpe, 616 F.3d at 1222, 1226. The term "goods" is defined broadly in the Act. See id. at 1222 (quoting 29 U.S.C. § 203(i)). The term "materials" is not defined at all. See Rodriguez v. Gold Star, Inc., 858 F.3d 1368, 1370 (11th Cir. 2017) (decided after the district court's ruling in this case); Polycarpe, 616 F.3d at 1222.1
In Polycarpe, we concluded that "materials" are "tools or other articles necessary for doing or making something." 616 F.3d at 1224. We further held that "where a business provides a service using an item as part of its `commercial operations,' Congress intended for those kinds of items to be viewed as `materials.'" Id. at 1225. Then, we settled on a test:
First, whether an item counts as "materials" depends on whether the item is serving as a material in context.... [T]o count as "materials," an item must [be a] tool[] or other article[] necessary for doing or making something....
Second, for an item to count as "materials" it must have a significant connection with the employer's commercial activity; the business may not just somehow internally and incidentally consume the item.
Id. at 1226. We also provided multiple examples of what we meant by this test.
First, following the lead of the Senate Report for certain 1974 amendments to the FLSA, we discussed laundry soap. See id. at 1224-25. We noted that if a laundromat uses soap to clean clothes handed over by a customer, then it uses the soap as a "material" (a tool or other article necessary for doing or making something) to clean the customer's clothes. See id. at 1225.
Second, we looked to a Department of Labor letter. That letter opined that coffee served by a fast-food retailer, as well as the cleaning supplies and equipment that it used, were "materials" for the purpose of this test. See id.
Third, we considered the example of china plates. See id. at 1226. We noted that "[d]epending on how they are used, china dinner plates ... could count as either `goods' or `materials.' Where a catering business uses the china plates at a client's banquet, the plates count as part of the `materials' necessary for serving a catered meal." Id. But where "an accounting firm... uses the same china plates as objects *1251of decoration mounted on its lobby wall, the china plates cannot count as `materials' because the plates have no significant connection to the business[`] accounting work." Id. Instead, "[t]he china plates in this example seem likely to count as `goods' that are subject to the ultimate-consumer exception because the accounting firm is the items' ultimate consumer." Id. at 1226 n.9.
Applying this test, and considering the examples we provided, we held in Polycarpe that the district court on remand would have to determine whether the following items could be found to be "materials": (1) "shutters containing blades that were evidenced to have been made in Col[o]mbia," sold by the employer and installed by its employees, id. at 1227; (2) "burglar alarms with wires, key pads, and other components manufactured out of state," sold by the employer and installed by its employees, id.; (3) "paint, tape, and coarse drywall screws" with which employees made "home repairs" for customers, id.; and (4) "lawn mowers, edger blades, trucks, pencils, and gasoline" with which employees performed "landscaping tasks" for customers, id. at 1228.
Our recent decision in Rodriguez, 858 F.3d at 1368, is also informative on this front. In that case, as here, employees of a valet parking company sued under the FLSA. They claimed that the cars they parked were "materials." We held that they were not.
In so holding, we further elaborated on the definition of "materials." We favorably cited the decision of the district court on remand in Polycarpe, which had held that "trucks used by the employees in a landscaping business were `materials.'" Id. at 1370-71. We did the same with another district court decision holding that "the flashlight, uniform, and cellphone used by an employee of a property rental business were `materials.'" Id.
Ultimately, we reasoned that cars parked by valets are not "materials" because they are an item on which a service is performed rather than the means of performing the service. See id. at 1371. See also Polycarpe, 616 F.3d at 1226 (a material is a "tool[] or other article[] necessary for doing or making something"). Returning to our "example of a commercial laundry, with the soap employed to wash the clothing constituting the `materials,'" we reasoned that
[t]he cars that Rodriguez parks are more akin to the clothing than the soap in this example. Like the dirty clothing brought to the commercial laundry to be washed, the cars are handed to the valet parkers to be parked. In both cases, the employees perform a service for the customer with respect to the items left in their care. The employees do something to the cars here, like the employees of the commercial laundry do something to the clothes. In both cases, the customers' goods are returned to the customer after the service is performed on them. Neither the cars here nor the clothes in the laundry are tools necessary to do a job; rather, they are the "goods" which are serviced by the employees using tools (like soap in the commercial laundry).
Rodriguez, 858 F.3d at 1371.
B
In this case, the district court held that the plaintiffs could not establish "handling clause" coverage because (1) as we later confirmed in Rodriguez, vehicles parked by valets are "goods" subject to the "ultimate consumer" exception, and not "materials," and (2) the walkie-talkies, pens, uniforms, valet tickets, etc. that employees of FCPS used are "goods" and also subject to *1252the ultimate-consumer exception. See Rodriguez Asalde, 2016 WL 5464599, at *3 n.4. Given our decision in Rodriguez, the district court's ruling with respect to the vehicles was correct. We therefore turn to the items used by the plaintiffs as valets for FCPS.
The plaintiffs argue that the walkie-talkies, pens, uniforms, valet tickets, etc. that they used in their jobs were "materials." FCPS disagrees, defending the district court's conclusion. Based on the record before us, and our reading of the relevant statutory provisions and precedent, we hold that the plaintiffs have established that there are triable issues sufficient to defeat FCPS' motion for summary judgment. For the present, it is enough for us to analyze and rest our decision on the uniforms that the plaintiffs aver that they had to wear as valets.
Applying the Polycarpe test, which focuses on context, first we address whether the uniforms were "tools or other articles necessary for doing or making something." 616 F.3d at 1226. On this record, we think this presents an issue of fact for the jury. See, e.g., Watkins v. City of Montgomery, 775 F.3d 1280, 1288 (11th Cir. 2014) ("We acknowledge that the question of whether pay deductions for exempt employees are permissible under the FLSA can present a question of law that falls outside the province of the jury. But that is not necessarily the case, and it was not the situation here."); Rodriguez v. Farm Stores Grocery, Inc., 518 F.3d 1259, 1263-64 (11th Cir. 2008) (whether managers of chain of drive-through grocery stores fell within the FLSA's executive exemption was a matter for the jury). FCPS relies on a naked assertion that uniforms "are not necessary to park cars." See Appellees' Br. at 8. In one sense, FCPS is of course correct; valets can park cars without being attired in uniforms. But in another, more important sense, FCPS is mistaken because physical necessity is not the baseline for determining whether an item used for work is, in the words of Polycarpe, "necessary for doing ... something," and hence a "material" under the FLSA. 616 F.3d at 1226.
As we noted in Polycarpe, an item may qualify as a "material" as long as "a business provides a service using [the] item as part of its commercial operations." 616 F.3d at 1225 (emphasis added). The first prong of the test, then, encompasses a wide range of items that employees use in their work even if some possibility exists that the employees could perform their jobs without the items. This reading of the first prong of the Polycarpe test is consistent not only with common sense, but also with the primary example of "materials" set out in that case: china plates used by a catering company to cater a banquet. Even though, strictly speaking, it is not impossible to cater a banquet without china plates, the plates nonetheless count as "materials" in the hands of the caterer because the caterer uses them to provide a service - feeding customers.
Similarly, here, there is evidence that FCPS uses the plaintiffs' uniforms - which according to the plaintiffs are mandatory, see Affidavit of Cabrera Savinovich, D.E. 44-1 at ¶ 48 - to provide valet services because they offer a way for customers to identify the valets (and to see them as professional and trustworthy). It makes no difference that FCPS could possibly operate its valet business without requiring its employees to wear uniforms. The bottom line is that FCPS "us[es]" the uniforms to provide a service, which is sufficient to satisfy the first prong of the Polycarpe test. See generally Anat Rafaeli & Michael Pratt, Tailored Meanings: On the Meaning and Impact of Organizational Dress, *125318 Acad. of Mgmt. Rev. 32, 47-48 (Jan. 1993).
The second prong of the test that we laid out in Polycarpe requires "a significant connection [between the item and] the employer's commercial activity" - i.e., that "the business [does] not just somehow internally and incidentally consume the item." 616 F.3d at 1226. FCPS asserts that the plaintiffs' uniforms lack this "significant connection." See Appellees' Br. at 8. But it provides no real argument on this point - it just states a conclusion and cites to one case, Mendoza v. Detail Solutions, LLC, 911 F.Supp.2d 433 (N.D. Tex. 2012), in support. Assuming that the reasoning from Mendoza is incorporated into its brief, we reject the contention advanced by FCPS.
The district court in Mendoza granted summary judgment to an employer in an FLSA case in part on the basis that the uniforms worn by employees at a car wash were not sufficiently connected to the employer's commercial activity to be "materials." See id. at 442. It acknowledged that uniforms "may be important to the business in identifying or advertising itself," but concluded that they were not "significant[ly] connect[ed] [to] the employer's commercial activity" because they did not advance the task of making customers' cars cleaner. See id.
Assuming without deciding that its analysis is sound, Mendoza is distinguishable from the case before us. In our view, the car washers' uniforms in Mendoza were less connected to the employer's commercial activity than the valets' uniforms in this case. A jury could find that a valet's uniform is distinctive because it identifies for customers the person to whom they should entrust their vehicle. A jury could similarly find that customers' ability to identify the valet is essential to the valet company's commercial activity because if customers cannot identify the valet they may be unable or unwilling to use the valet company's services. A car washer's uniform, by contrast, appears less connected to the car wash's commercial activity because customers can easily locate a car wash (and see their cars being washed) even if its employees do not wear uniforms. Thus, even though an employee's uniform may not always be sufficient to satisfy the second prong of the Polycarpe test, we conclude that the plaintiffs' uniforms are sufficient to create a jury issue in this case.
In sum, we hold that a reasonable jury could find that the plaintiffs' FCPS uniforms are "materials" under the FLSA.
III
To show that enterprise liability applies in a given case, an FLSA plaintiff must also establish that the "material" at issue "ha[s] been moved in or produced for [interstate or international] commerce by any person." 29 U.S.C. § 203(s)(1)(A)(i). The district court apparently concluded that the evidence at summary judgment established that the plaintiffs met this requirement with respect to the relevant items, including the uniforms. See Rodriguez Asalde, 2016 WL 5464599, at *3 n.4 (observing that the items in fact "originated out of state").
The plaintiffs defend the district court's conclusion. They point out that their uniforms have "Made in China," "Made in Jordan," and "Made in Colombia" printed on their labels. FCPS disagrees, generally arguing that the location printed on an item is irrelevant to determining where it originated. See Appellees' Br. at 11.
Given the case's summary judgment posture, FCPS is wrong. A label *1254reflecting an item's place of manufacture is admissible evidence and suffices to support a jury finding as to origin, as all courts reaching the question seem to agree. See, e.g., United States v. Brantley, 68 F.3d 1283, 1288 (11th Cir. 1995) ("the weapon, which was seized in southern Florida, bore an imprint indicating that it had been manufactured in Atlanta, a clear indication of interstate commerce"); United States v. Burdulis, 753 F.3d 255, 262-64 & n.8 (1st Cir. 2014) (affirming interstate nexus aspect of conviction solely on basis of inscription, and collecting similar cases from other circuits). Indeed, FCPS does not cite any contrary authority. The labels here, we conclude, are sufficient to create a jury question on the movement of the uniforms in international or interstate commerce.
IV
The district court correctly ruled that the vehicles parked by the plaintiffs are "goods" subject to the ultimate consumer exception, and not "materials" under the FLSA. Nevertheless, FCPS was not entitled to summary judgment on the plaintiffs' FLSA claims. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs, a jury could reasonably find that the uniforms they had to wear as valets for FCPS constitute "materials" under § 203(s)(1)(A) of the FLSA. The labels on the uniforms, which reflect foreign manufacture, similarly create a jury issue as to whether the uniforms moved in international or interstate commerce under § 203(s)(1)(A)(ii).2
We reverse the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of FCPS and remand for further proceedings consistent with our opinion.
