Strategy & Privileges
- White Tags (Donate): Use white cardstock to donate unsold items. This allows you to skip Pickup and often shop earlier! Note: White tag items are donated before Pickup.
- Color Tags (Pickup): Use your assigned color for items you want returned if they don't sell. You can use a mix of white & color tags if you want to donate some & Pickup some.
- Supplies: Find your paper and other supplies easily at our Amazon Shop.
Cardstock & Tagging Rules
- Weight Requirements: Use 65-67 lb cardstock. Regular paper is too flimsy; 100 lb paper often jams printers.
- Discounting (75% Off): We highly recommend the 75% discount option at EE.
- Printer Failures: If color printing fails or you do not have a color printer, print in black & white, but you must manually circle the price: RED Pen for "No Discount" or GREEN Pen for "50% Discount."
- 3000's Color: If available, use LIGHT PINK instead of red for the 3000's code. It scans more easily!
- Tag Durability: Add tape over the tag corner before punching the hole. Use two layers for shoe tags. Do not cover the QR code.
Assigned Cardstock Colors
The color we name is our example — any shade in that family works, as long as it can’t be mistaken for another code’s color. So 7000’s can be any lime green, just not pastel, not mint, not dark green; 4000’s can be any hot pink, just not pastel.
