ScissorsScissors or paper cutter to cut tags. |

Scotch tapeWe ask that you tape each tag's hole punch corner before you hole punch. I use scotch tape. You can use packing tape. Do not tape over the QR code or tags don't scan well. Get scotch tape here. |
|
Hole punchHole punch. Tape corner before you hole punch. Only hole punch if you are using zip ties. Do not hole punch for tag guns or when a zip tie is not possible and you must use a safety pin. Get our favorite hole punch here. |

Zip tiesZip ties or cable ties to secure tags to clothing. 4" are cheapest and are a good size for use on clothing. Note: Cable ties are mandatory - no safety pins except when impossible to zip tie!!! Zip ties are cheaper, easier to use and prevent tag removal. Zip ties can be attached through the tag, belt loop, button hole, etc. Be sure to try to open the zip tie to ensure you secured it properly. There is a right side and a wrong side. Zipties are available locally in the electrical department of Home Depot, Lowes, Northern Tool, and Wal-Mart. 8" zip ties or a string or shorter zip ties are great for items that will hang to display like shoes and accessories. Do not ever zip tie items to hangers since customers need to try on items! Get 4" zip ties here. |
|
Tagging GunA tagging gun is allowed IN THE SEAM ONLY but zip ties are always more secure! Please use two tag pins per tag. Using a tagging gun is better than attaching tags with safety pins for tagless items without a way to use a zip tie. Get our favorite fine tag gun here. |
|
Tag Pins if using tag gunBe sure to check if you have a fine or regular gun before buying pins. |
|
Safety PinsSafety pins are not accepted unless it is impossible to attach tags with zip ties as in the case of many new "tagless" tees and PJs and you don't have a tagging gun. A tag gun is a better option for tagless items. Be careful not to damage delicate knit fabric! A tagging gun is preferred over safety pins but use zip ties are best! You may attach slippery clothing items to hangers with safety pins if you've used the largest possible hanger and the item won't stay put. Any size or type of safety pins is accepted as needed.

Adult HangersChild-sized hangers are not allowed at EE. They are only allowed at BB and KE and only for clothing up to size 2. Adult hangers are required at EE and may be plastic, velvet, or wire, but any color of plastic or velvet hangers are preferred rather than wire. Wire hangers are allowed but not preferred. They snag fabrics and are hard to separate on the racks. We recommend you ask Old Navy for hangers, especially on Sunday afternoons. They throw away hundreds every day! Shake your item to see if it stays on the hanger! If not, use a larger hanger. Pants hangers work best for pants. See video on How to Tag page for how to use wire hangers for pants. Get adult tubular hangers here. |
|
Children's HangersChild-sized hangers are not allowed at EE. They are only allowed at BB and KE and only for clothing up to size 2. |

Ziploc BagsZiploc bags (assorted sizes) for toys, socks, etc. Large sizes are the cheapest at Dollar Tree. Be certain to seal them shut with packing tape and attach the tag to the outside of the bag. Items that can be displayed without putting them in a Ziploc should not be put in one - for example, shoes, slippers, socks, bibs, etc. Only use Ziplocs when necessary. They make items more difficult to view. Clear large heavy trash bags work well for oversized items like huge Matchbox tracks or comforters - just zip tie shut. Get snack ziplocs here. |
|
Clear Trash BagsClear large heavy trash bags work well for oversized items like huge Matchbox tracks or comforters - just zip tie shut. Get 33ga 1.2 mil clear trash bags here. |
|
Packing TapeFor attaching tags to toys, etc. Do not use packing tape over stickers or paper or on wood puzzles. It damages items. Items can be wrapped in saran wrap first to avoid damage. DO NOT TAPE OVER THE QR CODE! |
|
Blue Painters TapeFor attaching tags to books and game/puzzle boxes (prevents tearing). Be sure to tape around all 4 sides of the tag such that the tag won't easily fall off. Get blue painters tape here. |
