Tagging Gun
We strongly recommend tagging with a tagging gun, the cost is very minimal. It has been our experience that safety pins can be very costly and can leave damaging holes in clothing.
o White colored Cardstock (60-67 LB) to print your bar coded cards on (8 labels will print on each page). You can use scissors to cut these out, a scrap booking paper cutter or go to Staples and use their large paper cutter. Target has had the best price on Cardstock that we have found, Staples and Michaels are other good option. If getting paper at AC Moore, be sure to check their website, they usually have a 40-50% off one item coupon.
o Tagging gun. You can purchase the tagging gun on amazon or eBay. You will need to purchase barbs for your gun as well, 1inch barbs work best. Check to see if you can get a combo pack, usually you can buy the gun and it will come with all the barbs you need to tag your items.

Pants tags can be attached to clothing tag or through a seam.
If using a tagging gun, attach pants to a regular hanger by connecting front of pants and back of pant with barb over the top of hanger on both sides of pants.
Easy places to put barb to attach pants to hanger is behind belt loops.
On tops and dresses, tags can be barbed under arm if there is no tag in neck. Other great places are on any seam with extra fabric to push barb through

SAFETY PINS:
If using safety pins you can use regular computer paper to tag your items. Attach tag to RIGHT side of garment, this makes it easier for the shopper to see and for us to find when we scan them at checkout. Use only one safety pin to attach and attach it at the top of the tag so barcode is free and will not be damaged or blocked.

Always attach on right side of garment with ONE safety pin being careful not to block the barcode
Pants can be attached to hangers with 2 safety pins, one of each side connected over the hanger.
GENERAL SUPPLIES
o Hangers – plastic hangers only- NO wire hangers ( target and walmart tend to be the cheapest ). You will not get your hangers back after the sale. Sometimes we have extra hangers- if you are in need please email us. We also often have extra hangers at the end of our sale.
o Zip ties, clear packing tape, ribbon or string for items.
o Plastic zip or slide loc bags (to hold accessories/parts)
o Gather your items in a neat pile beside your computer. To make inputting the easiest consigners want to separate clothing by gender and size. When you are ready to print your tags make sure your computer is allowing pop ups. The tags pop up in a new window so you need to enable that feature. Please make sure your bar codes look readable.

When using the Tagging Gun please put the printed card through the inside tag on the clothing or in the seam in underarm or seam that is visible or draw string.

For example if you are bringing a Little People Garage, gather the Little People and cars and put in Ziploc bag and attach to the Garage with zip tie or packing tape. Group small items such as socks, accessories, etc. in Ziploc bags. Tape the card on the outside of the bag. Please seal the top of the bag with packaging tape to keep all items together.
