DO:

• Use the automated tagging program. It is mandatory.
• Use white cardstock for your tags.
• Use NORMAL or DRAFT print setting on your printer.
• Select “Black Cartridge Only” from printing properties if you have a color printer.
• Attach your tag to the left shoulder (your right) of all hanging items.
• Secure the tag on non-clothing items with clear tape.

• Make sure all non clothing items are in good, working order with all the pieces and parts accounted for.
• Make sure clothing items are in excellent condition free of tears and stains, and are up to date.

DO NOT:

• Handwrite tags, they will NOT be accepted. 
• Use plain paper, construction paper or colored cardstock. Do not use fuzzy/textured  or smooth surface cardstock.
