How to tag            *Wire Hangers Only, Please*

Please print your tags on cardstock or heavier lb paper to ensure they stay on your items.  Enter your items in the system under work with Inventory section once you sign-in.  Once you have the item information in the system look for the print your tag options on the work with inventory section.  It will help for you to turn off your pop-up blocker on your computer while printing tags.  It may also help to use Internet Explorer as your browser.  The tags should be securely pinned to your hanging item with a safety pin. Secure your clothing item to the hanger with safety pins.   For toys and zip-locked bagged items you should tape your tag securely to the bag or item.  Make sure your tape does not cover the barcode so the scanner can clearly read it.

GETTING TAGS READY: 

Pin tags with SAFETY PINS ONLY to the front left shoulder (diagram below). Please use the largest safety pin you can find (the smallest especially the gold ones do not stay on well).  The hanger should look like a question mark.  Bedding should be in a giant Ziploc bag.  Pin sets together with safety pins and use only one tag.  Attach tags to boxes and Ziploc bags with packing tape, place tag outside of Ziploc bag with closure taped shut.  The tags will need to be removed upon sale of these items.

LABELING YOUR ITEMS:
When sizing clothing use numbers (2T,4T,6 etc) only.  No S, M, L etc.  Label if pants are a slim (example size 6S). All areas of the tag must be completed as directed.  Give a description, color, design, brand, shirt, etc. Items must be priced at $1 or above and be in dollar increments.  Smaller items may be sold together. Bag items together and/or pin sets together. All items indicated for discounting will be sold at 1/2 Price on Saturday. Please mark if you would like to donate your unsold items on your tag.  Donated items will be sold at another sale or donated.

Presort: Please sort your items by size and gender.  If more than 2 items please group together by wrapping a rubber band around hangers.

Shirts:  Hang shirts on the hanger with the top of the hanger pointed to the left (an easy way to remember which direction is that it will be in the same direction as a question mark ? )  If the shirt has a large neck and might slip off, it is best to attach safety pins at the top of the hanger (as in the third picture of the diagram).  It is recommended to do this for all shirts over size 10 and ALL maternity clothing.

Pants:  All pants, especially maternity and larger sizes should be hung on the top of the hanger.  This is done so that the pants do not gather and hang from one end of the hanger.  If the pants are larger place the safety pin closer to the middle to ensure they will not slip to the bottom of the hanger.

Sets:  Sets tend to sell better.  To hang sets make sure that both the tops and bottoms show (third picture).  Make sure to have the front of the bottoms show if they have a design on it or if it has knees – so that the buyer can see the wear on them.   
If the outfit has a tie, hair bow or socks that you would like to sell with it, place them in a Ziploc bag, tape the bag shut, put a Multiple tag (see directions for multiple items tagging) on the outside and hang item from hook of hanger (punch hole using the hook to hang).

Shoes:  If shoes are small enough, place in a Ziploc bag with the tag on the outside.  Tape the top of the bag closed so that the shoes cannot be taken out and separated from bag (and your seller number).  It is best to mark each shoe with masking tape and your seller number in case they get separated.  If shoes are too big for bags, tie through eyelets with curling ribbon or use two separate bags taped together.

Tagging Toys and Baby Equipment: Fasten tags securely to your items with clear packaging tape. Do not use scotch or masking tape. You can also punch a hole in the top of your tag and attach the tag securely with a ribbon or string.
Tagging onesies, socks, small items, small toy sets:  Onesies, socks, bibs, rattles, hair bows and other small items will sell much better if sold as a set.  Please put several similar items together in one Ziploc bag. Clearly label what is in the bag on your tag, and tape the tag on the outside of the Ziploc bag, so that it is visible from the outside.  Close your Ziploc carefully and seal the top with tape. 

Back-up tag (optional): You can also put masking tape with your consignor number on your items. Should the original tag get lost, we at least know whose item it is, and can possibly re-tag it. Put the tape on the inside of clothing or the bottom of toys, strollers etc.
Multiple items for one price:  Place a tag with the price on the biggest item.  On that tag put the number of items in group (ex. 1 of 4).  On each additional item place a tag with your seller number and description and in the price put an X where the price should be and which number of group (ex 2 of 4).  Use multiple tags for large items with several pieces (ex. Dollhouse or little people toys) or clothing that includes accessories (hair bows ties etc)

Remember

NO plastic hangers will be accepted.

NO Straight Pins – They are dangerous to workers and shoppers!!!

No small safety pins – they do not stay attached very well and tags tend to fall off.

No clothes that are stained or have holes will be accepted.

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE TIME TAGGING ITEMS IN A WAY WE WILL NOT ACCEPT.
