Does a window sticker show the build date?

Finally got a window sticker, but I am at a loss to what all the numbers mean.
Is the build date available on it?

that date can change with different steps in the process My build date was 9/7/2017 and that was on the WS for a few days, but now it has 9/14/2017 since it shipped. ETIS has a reliable date for the Build his still shows the standard place marker

I'm not sure what 30/11 means but I hope its not a 2018 date.
I wanted these colors. I guess this is the risk of saving money and ordering at the last minute.

Rule of thumb is to add about a week to the window sticker date. So build date is 9/18/2017

Good information. Just checked mine. Truck was purchased off the lot 8/28/17. The date on the sticker is 8/1/17. They told me it had just come off the delivery truck when I initially inquired about it.

Ford Etis will tell you the build day if you have a vin.

I own the truck so I have a VIN. ETIS shows the build date as 7/8/2017. Almost 3 weeks earlier than the sticker date.
Any advantages to registering as an IO at the site?
Never visited the Etis site. Thanks for the info.
