- This will put you into the inventory portal, where you add the items you would like to consign.
- The printing tag utility is available on the “Work with your consignor inventory” link. Please be sure to disable pop up blockers when you are printing because your tags pop up in a new window for printing.
*Please Note: Once you have printed your tags out – YOU CANNOT EDIT THE PRICE OF YOUR ITEM! The price is encoded on the barcode and prices must match in the system. If you edit the price, you must print out a new tag. If any discrepancies of an item are found at checkout, it will be sold to the consumer’s benefit.
Barcode Printing Tips
To ensure we are able to sell as many of your items as we can during peak times without making any errors or missing any items, it is very important that your tags are scannable. Great features of our sale like nightly sales updates and quick check delivery are dependent on scannable barcodes.
The printed quality of your barcode is very important! Please print a page of 3 or 4 test tags to see how they look. Use a critical eye when checking the quality of the barcodes.
If your barcodes look like this, you are good to go.
If it looks like one of the barcodes below, realign your print cartridge and try again. Print tags using the NORMAL or DRAFT setting, not high quality – ink will be too dark!
If it looks like this, replace your ink cartridge and align the new one.
Other options for printing tags:
Small cost involved:
* Upload a .pdf copy of your tags to Office Depot, Staples or another local printer.
* Email us to have them printed for you. Tags are printed on Wednesdays and we can mail them to you. 100 tags and under – $8.00
Free:
*Check with someone who has a laser printer. This type of printer is your best option.
Tagging Tips
- To secure your tag more securely, put a piece of packing tape OVER the safety pin on your tag.
- Instead of using rubber bands, use zip (cable) ties to hold outfits together.
- Use white or pastel 60#-67# cardstock for printing.
- Do not use plain paper. If you use plain paper for your tags, you may be asked to redo them at drop off.
- Use black ink on the normal or draft print setting. Best quality is too dark and the barcode may bleed.
- When printing your tags, please print in Internet Explorer. Sometimes when printing using Mozilla Fire Fox … the description looks like jibberish.
The Importance of Good Item Descriptions
- Please write GOOD item descriptions!
- If a card is lost from an item, the only way we can match it to the correct item is with the description you write! For example, if your description is DRESS, this does not help us locate the correct dress. We could have 4 dresses with a lost tag.
- Please include brand, color, and 2-piece, if applicable.
- “New” and “Only Worn Once” on descriptions can make your item more appealing to a buyer!
Tag Example
You will be able to print 6 tags per page. You must use card stock weight paper! It can be purchased at any office supply store, Walmart or Target. White is preferred!
Please note hanger direction and tag placement. This is how your items should look prior to bringing to the Upscale WeeSale
- On clothing garments, attach the tag with a safety pin at the top right shoulder.

- Please use safety pins when hanging pants and skirts at the TOP of the hanger.Do not fold them over the hanger as customers can not see them well.** Note – Please do not combine outfits with different sizes.
