​
With each of these methods, make sure to have the price, size, description & consignor number along with the barcode sticker on each tag. Any unsold item you wish to pick up, must have the top righthand price highlighted in yellow. Any unsold item NOT HIGHLIGHTED will be DONATED.
We use a SIMPLE barcode system to ensure the accuracy of our consignor’s items & improve the speed of checkout at Kidz Klozet! This IS NOT an inventory system, but a simplified version of barcoding where you add a barcode sticker to the index card.
WAYS TO PREPARE TAGS
(1) Handwrite Tags
Use a 3X5 index card. Write the information in the appropriate spot as shown in the sample tag above. Review "RULES TO REMEMBER WHEN TAGGING and PREPARING" below.

Tips for the Spreadsheet
-
Print on “draft” or “economy” mode to save on ink.
-
Keep items in the order you enter them as they print in the same order.
-
Use “Number of Blanks” to request blank tags if you wish to print extra tags in case you need them.
-
You can choose to print 4 tags to a page, printing them on a regular printer or card stock OR print on 3X5 index cards if your printer is capable of printing this size.

Rules to Remember When Tagging and Preparing Items
-
Use a 3×5 index card.
-
For item description, include brand, color, and type of item. Please include a simple description in case the tag is lost.
-
All unsold items with the top righthand price highlighted in yellow will be returned to the consignor at pickup. All items NOT HIGHLIGHTED will be DONATED.
-
Price in $0.50 increments.
-
All clothing must be on hangers with the hanger hook facing to the left like a question mark (?). You may use pant clip hangers as well as safety pins for pants.
-
SAFETY PIN the card to the right hand side of the garment when looking at the front. NO STRAIGHT PINS!
-
SAFETY PIN multiple piece garments together
-
Clothing must be sized with numbers, i.e. 12M, 2T, 5 etc., not S, M, L.
-
To reduce check in time, have your items sorted by size and gender (rubber band or twist tie sizes together if needed to keep them in order while in transit) and counted prior to drop-off!
-
Loose items such as shoes, socks, bibs, as well as items or toys with more than one piece should be secured in Ziploc bags with tags placed inside the bag. You are welcome to zip-tie shoes together.
-
You may consign no more than 15 pairs of shoes.
-
Do not forget we accept outside toys, baby & juvenile furniture, etc., anything to do with children. Please confirm they are clean.
-
Optional-For extra security, put your consignor # on a piece of masking tape inside all garments (each piece).
-
Moms of multiples or matching sibling sets-You may indicate on the index card the matching outfit’s size/sex for shoppers looking for matching sets.
