TAGGING DIRECTIONS
-
Clothing tag location: Attach a card with a safety pin to the upper left front of clothes, or if you are looking at your item pin it to your right. You can punch a hole at the top of the tag to make it easier to slide the safety pin through. DO NOT STAPLE the tag to clothing or other items!
-
Remember all clothing is to be hung on hangers. The top of the hanger should face left making a question mark shape.
-
PLEASE use size-appropriate hangers. Sizes under 4T should be hung on child-size hangers!
-
If using a Tag Gun, either place it on a seam hanging as described above OR tag it to the clothing label hanging the tag out in front of the garment in full view.
-
Hanging sets: Sets must be securely pinned together, or you can use clothing hangers for sets. Pants should be pinned to the bottom part of the shirt or to the bottom part of the hanger. You want shoppers to see both pieces without having to take them off the hangers. Please pin single pants to the hanger by the waist, or use pant hangers.
-
You will save yourself tons of time, pain and suffering by using appropriate hangers. You can get FREE hangers at Kohls and Herbergers just by asking. Having pants hangers for pants or set hangers for sets makes preparing your items SO much faster and easier! Please use child-size hangers for child-size clothing.
-
Tagging Toys and Baby Equipment: Fasten tags securely to your items with clear packaging tape. Do not use scotch 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 zip-loc bag. Clearly label what is in the bag on your tag, and tape the tag on the inside of the zip-loc bag, so that it is visible from the outside. There will be tables at the sale for "infant items", with plastic tubs that these zip-loc bags will go into. Putting onesies in bags also helps save rack space for clothing items.
-
Tagging toys and equipment with multiple items: For items with multiples pieces that cannot be packaged together, put a tag on each piece. Fill out all the tags with all of the necessary information as normal and include "1 of X", (where X is the number of pieces). Write the price on the first tag only and do not put the price on any other tags. Only use multiple tags for items that belong together, e.g. a doll playhouse (first item) with equipment (in a zip-loc bag, second item). You do not need to do this for clothing items that are attached together.
-
Tagging shoes: If shoes have laces, tie them together or put a curling ribbon through the eye holes or velcro to help keep them together. Attach your tag with ribbon or string.
-
Presort: It will be much easier and quicker for you at the drop-off if you presort your clothes by gender and by size.
