How to tag your items

Preparing and Tagging

Print Tags on White Cardstock

White cardstock available in home office section of Walmart/Target, at craft stores and office supply stores or Amazon.

We will NOT accept tags printed on copy paper. Tags will crumple, tear, fall off and we want your items to SELL!

**NOTE: We will not accept any tags with price or discount status hand corrected. If you change the price/discount status in the online tagging system, you MUST reprint the tag.** At the check out, we will always honor the original printed tag info.

NO PRINTER AT HOME?? NO PROBLEM!!

You can save your tags as a PDF then have them printed at local print shops like UPS Store, Office Depot, FedEx/Kinkos or Staples! When you order, specify to print on WHITE CARDSTOCK. They’ll even cut them for a small fee!

For large items, loosely attach your tag and we will help you attach a secondary HOLD TAG at Drop-Off and secure both tags. 

 

Creating Tags with Description

 To add inventory + print tags: Log into your consignor account->Menu->Work with Consigned Inventory-> you’ll land on CONSIGNOR INVENTORY MENU.

Here you can add items, print tags, view sold items nightly during sale week and print inventory reports.

When making your tags using our online tagging system, please fill out all the info on the tag template, including:

  • Catergory: clothing/shoes MUST go in correct catergory. Other items select something close.
  • Size/Gender (REQUIRED for clothing/shoes/leotards/dancewear/bathingsuits/coats)
  • Price: you decide the price!!
  • Item Description: brief item description (to ensure we can return tag to item if they become separated)
  • Discount/No Discount: you will choose whether or not each item will be discounted to 50% off on 1/2 Price Day on Saturday.
  • If you edit tag info after it is printed, you MUST reprint tag! Do NOT handwrite on the tag to change discount option, discount status is embedded in barcode. 
  • Donate/No Donate: if you item does not sell, you can decide to donate it or get it back.
  • Each item must have its own unique tag! If it’s a 2 pc item, include that info in the item description but it can be sold as a set and just needs 1 tag.
  • TO PRINT TAGS: go to Consignor Inventory Menu-> print tags-> here you can decide if you want to print ALL your tags or just select tags. You can save your tags as a pdf and email that pdf to a print shop to have them print your tags.

Hanging Shirts

  • Hang clothing on appropriately sized hangers with the hook pointing to the LEFT when you are facing it.
  • Make a question mark (?) with the hanger as you face the front of the item. (Wire hangers are preferred but not required.)
  • Child sized hangers work best for NB-size 2T. Use adult hangers for larger sizes.
  • Use regular size or larger safety pins to attach items to the hanger. PLEASE secure your clothing to hangers. (Tiny gold safety pins or clothes pins will not hold.)
  • ATTACH TAG TO UPPER LEFT CORNER OF GARMENT as seen in pic. Tag will be on the RIGHT if you are LOOKING AT the clothing item.

Hanging Pants

  • Safety pin to the TOP portion of hanger, narrowly at the waistband.
  • Attach safety pin as close to hook as possible, so item does not slide on hanger!
  • Zip-ties/cable ties work great for jeans or anything with belt loops!
  • ATTACH TAG TO UPPER LEFT CORNER OF GARMENT  as seen in pic. Tag will be on the RIGHT if you are LOOKING AT the clothing item.

Hanging Two Piece Outfits

  • Place shirt on the hanger.
  • Safety pin pants/skirt/shorts at the waistband to the shoulders of the shirt with garments pinned back-to-back.
  • Make sure that both items are visible.
  • ATTACH TAG TO UPPER LEFT CORNER OF GARMENT as seen in pic. Tag will be on the RIGHT if you are LOOKING AT the clothing item.

Hanging Misc. Items

  • Hats, gloves, belts, purses, accessories may be bagged or have tag pinned to item.
  • Backpacks and baby slings should be hung on hangers.  Diaper bags will not require a hanger.
  • Receiving blankets, afghans, sheets, toddler blankets, sleeping bags, snuggies and hooded towels can be HUNG. Fold over a heavy duty hanger and secure with safety pins. Tag is placed in upper right corner, hanger hook is facing left (same as with clothing).
  • SHOES: Attach the shoes together in such a way they will not come apart. This can best be accomplished by using a small zip tie.  Using a large safety pin or tying with ribbon or yarn (knotted) also works well. Safety pin the consignment tag to the laces or ribbon, or tape tag to bottom of sole of shoe with packing tape.

Toys

Package toys with small pieces or directions in a clear, sealed bag. Toys with multiple pieces can have the sealed bag securely attached to the toy or inside a compartment with clear packing tape.  SEAL BAGS SHUT WITH PACKING TAPE.

LARGE toys that are too big to fit under the table: LOOSELY attache your consignor tag to the item. At drop off, we will add a claim ticket and attach the consignor tag to it.

 

DVD/Video games/Board Games/Puzzles

Please make sure DVD/CD/Video game is free of scratches, will play and the CORRECT disc is in the case!
Tape case of DVD/CDs/Video Games closed with packing tape, painter’s tape or masking tape.
Wooden puzzles can be wrapped in clear Saran-wrap to secure pieces in place. Please do not send puzzles with unsecured pieces.

**NEW**If puzzle/game is NOT new in box, it will need a pic (b&w pic from printer is fine) to show pieces are intact. Exception: flat puzzles at are sold assembled, that we can see all pieces.
