Tagging Tips:

Limits:

100 hanging clothing items per consignor.

5 pairs of shoes per consignor.

Carolina Kids Consignment uses a bar code tagging system.  The bar code represents the consignor number and price. Handwritten consignor numbers are not utilized by the system.  Once you have registered, you will be able to generate and print tags for your items.  CONSIGNOR NUMBERS WILL NOT CHANGE.  You will keep the same consignor number as long as you continue to participate in future sales.

Avoid changing or editing the computer format of the tags in any way.  This alters the bar code and the tags will not scan.  Print quality can also cause your tags not scan at the register.  If your tags look like the ink is running out...the tags will probably not scan. We can enter your tags manually, if any of these situations occur.  It just takes a little longer.

Sort numbers explained:  Your tag automatically prints with a sort number on the bottom right corner of the tag.  This number is very important to the clean up process at the end of the sale.  Please be sure not to cut this number off when cutting out your tags.  

Sort stickers are available and only needed if old tags need to have the sort number updated to match the current sort number.

The PDF file of your tags will then display.  Print the page and write the item description on the tags.  (Hint:  Tag printing can be accessed as many times as needed.  PDF files can also be saved for quick and easy reprints.)

Consignors use card stock paper.  Card stock paper is similar in thickness as an index card. Card stock differs in weight, the heavier the weight you choose, the stronger your tags will be.  Please select colored card stock.  (white card stock should be used for donation items) Any color card stock paper will be fine, but please avoid card stock that is dark in color.  Please avoid using light gray/ivory.   No plain paper tags.  The tags will not stay on your items. 

You may hole punch at any location on the tag.  The area designated is fine; however, if the tag is punched farther from the edge, it is even more secure and less likely to tear off.  Some seasoned consignors have secured the hole punched areas with tape or adhesive rings used on notebook paper. Securing the hole punched area with tape is strongly suggested with toys, strollers, car seats, bouncies, etc.

Attaching tags to clothing:  Use a cable or zip tie to secure the tag to the garment. Safety pins should only be used as a last resort due to no other option.  Use a belt loop, button holes, or collar tag to attach the price tag.  Keep the tag on the front of the item. Nylon cable ties are secure and assist in preventing lost tags.  This type of cable tie can be purchased at Home Improvements Stores, Wal-Mart, etc. (Check the electrical section or automotive sections!)  

Be sure to include a good description.  Always include color, brand name, boys or girls. This will help tremendously in the event a tag falls off!  If a range is given for infant clothing-use the lower size.  (Ex. 3-6 months = 3 months)

No mark-overs on Prices:  Remember the barcode will represent the price.  If you make a mistake when completing a tag, start a new tag.  Changes made to a tag make it unable to be sold.  Clothing should be displayed on a hanger.  (any type hanger is accepted)  When hanging your item, it's important all items are hanging in the same direction.  Please place all garments on the hanger positioned so that when looking at the front of the garment, the top of the hanger resembles a question mark. 

50% off:  On the last day of the sale items are 50% off.  If you have items that you do not want priced 50% off, please be sure that the items are tagged appropriately. (Remember tags that have the word FULL PRICE printed under the barcode will not discount on Sunday.) 

Donating:  If you are generously participating in the Donation program , please use white card stock. Items NOT picked up are disposed at the discretion of Carolina Kids Consignment and donated to JCI Industries.  Items specified for donation will be donated to JCI Industries.  If items are turned away at this facility due to lack of space, we will send the donations to alternate non-profit sites.  For additional information, you can visit the website at  JCI - Home (jcindustries.com.

Dropping Off Items:  We will be accepting the items during the designated drop off days.  When you arrive, look for the large roll up door at the rear of the building.  Please plan to help put the items out. If you are not able to help, we will arrange putting your items out for you.  However, we do ask that your items be pre-sorted by size and gender.

Picking up Items after the sale:  Please plan to pick up your items during the pick up times. Unfortunately, we have a limited amount of time to sort and clean out the facility.  Consignors that do not arrive for pick up will not be able to claim their items after the pick up day.  Items are immediately sent to donation. 

Please read carefully.  We want all consignors to decide when tagging, whether an item should be donated or not.  At the conclusion of every sale, we end up with piles of items that have been sorted that end up going to donation--due to not being picked up by the consignor.  Sorting is a time consuming task and using a white card stock tag for donation can save us and all of the staff, helpers, and the youth group HOURS of time.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tag your items for donation, if you do not plan to pick up.

Your Payment:  All consignor accounts will be reconciled and payments sent within 10 business days following the sale.  A $9.00 consignor fee is deducted from the final check.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.  We look forward to meeting you.
