Why are both sides and unique symbols important to my tags?
Name, symbol and price on both sides is needed as there are 250+ consignors, selling hundreds of items per day. Having the information on both sides saves time for the cashiers, tag sorters and check writers. It also helps ensure that your tags are sorted correctly and you get credit for all sales.
