Sellers tag and price all of their own items. In order
to keep the Five and Dime Kids Sale organized and easy-to-shop,
we require that all sellers' tags are of a similar format. |
|
Making Tags
- Tags must be on card stock.
- Card stock for tags can be any color except red.
- Circle an item's price in RED if you DO NOT wish to sell that item for half price on
the last day of the sale. Prices circled in anything besides
red will be sold for half price.

Handwritten Tags
Tags must be approximately 2.5 x 2.5 inches and printed clearly.
|
Printed Tags
Upon registration you will receive an Excel spreadsheet with detailed instructions.
|
Tags must NOT:
- Have anything scratched out
- Be written in light ink or pencil
- Be made of lightweight paper
- Be covered with a sticker.
NOTE: Do not reuse the back of an old tag. |
Tagging clothing and shoes
- All clothing items must be hung on WIRE COAT HANGERS
with the hook facing left. It will
look like a question mark.
- Attach tags with a safety pin in the upper right side
of the garment. Items with straight pins will
NOT be accepted.
- Ensure garments are securely hung. Hang shirts directly ON THE HANGER. Secure shirts with safety pins only if they might fall off during shopping. Attach pants, shorts, and skirts through the waistband with safety pins.
- Hang two-piece outfits on the same hanger with the pieces back to back as pictured (below). Hang top and pin bottom to the other side of the hanger with front facing out. Pin bottoms to the hanger, not the back of the shirt. Do not group items as an outfit if they are different sizes.
- Secure shoes together using plastic cable ties (available at hardware stores) or twine. Attach tags with safety pins, being careful not to damage the shoe. Use ziplock bags only for shoes that cannot be attached to each other.

Tagging other items
- For most toys, please tape the tag to the item for easy
viewing and removal.
- For items that contain multiple pieces, tag each piece
with your code, a brief description, and “1 of 2”, “2
of 2”, etc.; however, only write the item's price on the
main tag. If the item has small pieces, they should be
packaged securely in clear plastic bags and attached using
tape, safety pins, or cable ties.
- Use masking tape (not packing tape) on items made of cardboard of paper (such as books), as packing tape may cause tearing. Puzzles may also be wrapped in cellophane and taped securely, with the tag taped outside. This is not recommended for books as shoppers like to look at them.
- When tagging board games, rubber-band boxes closed instead
of taping them. Secure small pieces in a plastic bag inside the box.
