Tagging: Gather your supplies

Hangers (wire hangers work best)

Packing tape and string, zip ties

Please use only medium weight (65-67lbs) WHITE card stock for your tags. Tags must be printed on 65-67 weight cardstock or tags won’t scan. (Office Max carries it)

This heavier paper helps to keep the tag and the item together.

 

 Attaching tags –

The hanger should face left and resemble a question mark.

Attach tags to large items:
