Tagging

How to Tag Items

• Use the tag template (available for download on the Downloads page) or 3×5 index cards.
• Cardstock required.
• Separate clothing into 2 groups, boys and girls and organize each group by size.
• Enter a “D” if you’d like the item to be donated, the size and a brief, yet catchy description for each item.
• Leave space at the bottom of the tag for barcode label REQUIRED.
• Affix barcode labels to the bottom of the tag for each item.
• Please only use safety pins to attach the cards to clothing, blankets, etc. This prevents tags from falling off and fingers from getting pricked.
• Use STRONG tape, string or zip-ties to attach cards to plastic toys.
• For odd shaped toys and other non-clothes items: If the tag can’t be securely attached with packing tape, zip tie or safety pin, please affix barcode directly to the object.
• For shoes: Zip tie shoes together and place a smaller version of the tag or just the barcode label on the inside sole of the shoe. Jot the size on the barcode.
• Each item is hung with hanger hook facing left with the tag safety pinned on the upper right corner.
