Creating the tag
Tags are created by entering information concerning each item into the computer. Once finished (or, along the
way, too), you can print out all (or some) of the tags directly on your computer:
Too help keep things simple, we've kept our list of categories small. Basically, if
it's not clothing, just go with Miscellaneous.
Please use Internet Explorer for printing your tags. Tags do not print correctly with Firefox
Item Entry
and Tag Printing
Before you start, here are some suggestions:
- Before starting to enter your information, group your items by category (eg, shoes, clothes, toys), size and
gender (where appropriate).
Explanation of the tag...
- For reliable scanning, we recommend printing your tags on 67 lb. cardstock - as light a
color as you can find.
- Please pin the card (use only 1 inch safety pins
or larger) on right front of item (as you look at it).
- Top inch - this space is for the pin and also serves as a summary of the items purchased (since
the tags will be cut below this line.
- Main Body
- Top of body
- left: Consignor #
- right: Size
- Center of body – brand name and short description of item
- Bottom of body
- left: X if item is being donated
- center: item number - a running count of how many items you are consigning (automatically generated)
- right: price, and whether or not it is being marked down to 1/2 price on Saturday afternoon
- Bottom section - Barcode, consignor #, and price on the left
The right contains a code (automatically
generated) used to help sort items during breakdown.
Suggestions:
- For more expensive clothing items place tape over the safety pin after you have pinned the tag on your clothes.
- DO NOT tape over bar code (even clear tape - the reflection can interfere with the scanning).
- If you see your item in an ad, clip it out and attach it to show retail price.
- If any item on the tag is incorrect, please make a new
tag.
- Price: you set the price of all items you bring. Pricing
must be in $1.00
increments. There is a minimum price of $2.00
- We recommend pricing your items between 1/2 and 1/3 of retail
price.
- Small items: Group all small items such as socks, bottles, etc.
in Ziploc bags. Pin the card vertically on the outside of the bag.
- Large items (play-yards, furniture, etc): Tape cards vertically with clear packing
tape.
