TAGGING & PREPARATION GUIDELINES

(Please read carefully — this is important!!)

Proper tagging ensures your items sell smoothly and that you are paid correctly. Items that are not tagged according to these guidelines may be rejected at check-in.

All consignors must use the Consignment Manager system to create and print tags.

• White cardstock (no colored paper) 
• Hangers
• Safety pins OR a tagging gun (use carefully) 
• Clear packing tape (toys, books, equipment) 
• Zip ties (shoes, sets, multiple pieces) 
• Masking or painter’s tape (for labeling pieces)
   

Do not use regular paper — tags must be sturdy and scannable.

Each tag will include:

• Consignor number
• Item number 
• Category 
• Size 
• Description 
• Price 
• Discount (Yes/No) 
• Donate (Yes/No) 
• Barcode
   

You will enter this information when creating your tags online.

• Tags must print 8 per page and fill the entire page 
• Print at 100% scale (not “fit to page”) 
• Barcodes must be clear and readable 
• Do not print with faded ink
   

Poorly printed tags may not scan and can result in missing or unsold items.

• Attach the tag to the top right front of the garment 
• Use a safety pin or tagging gun
• If using a tagging gun, attach only to:
  • Manufacturer tag or
  • Thick seam under the collar
     

🚫 Do NOT punch holes in fabric

All hangers should face left (like a question mark).

• Pants must be secured to the top of the hanger
• Do NOT fold pants over a hanger 
• Use safety pins or pants hangers with clips
   

Shoppers need to see the full garment.

• All pieces must stay together 
• Attach pants, skirts, or accessories to the hanger
• Use safety pins or zip ties to secure sets
   

If pieces separate, the item may not sell.

• Toys must be clean, complete, and working 
• Small parts should be placed in a zip-top bag 
• Tape the tag securely to the main item 
• If an item has multiple pieces, label each piece with: 
  • Consignor number 
  • Item number
     

• Shoes must be secured together with a zip tie 
• No shoe boxes or plastic bags 
• Clean soles and sides before bringing 
• Add a small piece of tape to each shoe with: 
  • Consignor number 
  • Item number
     

This helps us sell your shoes if a tag becomes detached.

• Secure tags with packing tape 
• Fragile items should be wrapped securely 
• Multiple-piece items must be labeled clearly
   

• These sell best on hangers 
• Secure with two safety pins (one on each side) 
• Do not bag unless necessary
   

• Group clothing by gender and size 
• Group non-clothing items by category 
• Keep similar items together to speed up drop-off and pickup
   

When creating tags, you will select:

• Discount: YES or NO (Half-Price Sale) 
• Donate: YES or NO (Unsold items)
   

💡 Items marked Discount: YES are more likely to sell.

Before loading your car:

• Check for stains, damage, or missing parts 
• Test battery-operated items 
• Ensure all tags are attached securely 
• Make sure barcodes are visible
   

Items not meeting quality or tagging standards may be refused.

Closet 2 Closet is not responsible for items that:

• Are improperly tagged 
• Have missing or unreadable tags 
• Separate due to improper attachment
   

Following these rules protects you and your payout.
