Item Tagging
Hiz & Herz utilizes a barcode system to allow for a fast check-out experience and to provide an accurate account of your sales. Each consignor is issued a unique barcode tied to their ID number, upon registration. Your barcode must be on all of your tags.
How to Create Tags
We allow two methods for creating price tags - print at home or receive barcode labels via USPS. Our recommended method is using our template to print at home. During registration, please select which method you will use. All tags will be inspected during your drop off appointment. Any items that are improperly tagged will have to be redone on your time. Please email us with any questions.
Description
Please be as specific as possible in case your tag gets separated from your item. This could aid in pairing them back together and ensuring you get your money for the item.
ND - No Discount
This is optional. If you choose to put ND in the bottom right corner of the tag, the item will not be discounted at the 1/2 Price Sale.
Price
There is a $2 minimum on every item. Pair like items if necessary to meet price minimum. Please note, items priced too high may be turned away at drop-off. All items must be sold in $1.00 increments (i.e. $2.00, $4.00, $10.00, etc.)

How to Attach Tags
Clothing
All clothing must be on wire hangers. The hanger hook should point to the left, and the tag should be safety pinned on the right shoulder when facing the item. Wire hangers with "tubes" are NOT ALLOWED as they take up too much space on our racks.
Pin sets securely together by hanging the shirt first, then turning the hanger over, and pinning the pants by the waist to the backside of the hanger, using two pins, with the pin catching the hanger to support the pants. Both pieces can be viewed without unpinning them, and this prevents lost items.
On larger clothing items, such as dresses, please secure them with safety pins if they have a tendency to fall off the hanger. Your items won't sell if they're on the floor.
Pants or shorts sold alone should be pinned at the waist by folding it over the hanger. Please watch the video demonstration and pictures (coming soon) and contact us if you have any questions.
Non-Hanging Items
Shoes: Please secure shoes together with a zip tie or place in a ziploc bag with the tag taped to the OUTSIDE of the bag and with the bag taped at the top to ensure that your items stay together. Shoes that are zip tied tend to sell better as customers can try them on. Please do not bring shoes packaged in boxes.
Large Items: Please make sure the price tag is securely attached to your item. Packing tape or pinning the tag through ribbon and attaching are the best options.
Items with small parts: Small parts should be contained in a ziploc bag and attached securely to any large item to ensure no missing parts.
Books and Videos: Please do not use packing tape on books and videos, since it usually tears the cover. Make sure that videos work, and secure tag with two pieces of scotch tape, or put in ziploc bags. If packaging multiples together in bags, please write all titles on the tag.
Assembly Required: Items that require assembly must be assembled on-site or prior to drop-off. Please make sure we know how to disassemble so we may let any potential buyer know. Make sure to bring any tools you may require for assembly.
Additional Instructions: Anything put into a ziploc bag must have the tag taped to the outside of the bag, and the bag taped shut, this will ensure that your items are not separated.
