3 5. Tagging Guidelines Hangers Hanger Hook Use wire hangers only. No plastic hangers. Complimentary wire hangers available in the church office. Hang clothes so the hanger hook points to the left, to look like a question mark. Tags Use cardstock for tags, any color. Regular paper rips easily. Pin tag in upper right corner, when looking at the garment. Only use St. James tags. Tag template provided in consignor confirmation . Remove any tags from other sales. Use tags labeled NR to indicate items that will remain full price on Saturday. NR = not reduced. Use tags without NR to discount your item by 50% on Saturday. Trim sides neatly to the black line of each tag. If an item has multiple pieces or is sold as a set, include a tag on each piece. Label one tag with the price and indicate that multiple pieces are included. Label all subsequent tags with 2 of 4, 3 of 4, etc. All tags must include the following information: o Your confirmed 4-digit seller number. o Price. Whole dollar pricing only! Minimum is $1.-. Any partial dollar prices will be rounded down at check out. Write the price as a number dot dash, example: $1.- o Gender and Size. Use the lowest number of the size range listed on the clothing tag. For example, if the tag says 4/5, write size 4 on your tag. Size by number, not S, M, or L. o Brief description of the item this allows us to match lost tags to items and prevent switching of tags. If an item does not have a tag, the item becomes property of the sale. We will make every effort to reunite lost tags with their respective item. Tags lacking a price or illegible will be priced by sale volunteers. Consignor Information Packet - Revised Fall
