One of the primary reasons a consignment or resale store uses consignment software, is to print price tags. Once inventory has been entered into a consignment software program, you can then print tags. Price tags include everything from the item description, to the price and even a bar code!
Each of the programs we’ll discuss support the direct thermal “2-across” tags. Here is an image, courtesy of Forms Plus, Inc…
Let’s take a closer look at each of the “basic” tag styles from some of the consignment software programs on the market…

There are myriad other formats, but the 2-across direct thermal tag is the most common in the consignment industry. We’ll add additional tag styles from other programs very soon, along with actual images of tags printed with a Zebra LP2844 tag printer!
As always, let us know if you have any questions!

I am a Software Developer, System Administrator, and consignment software specialist. I currently manage hundreds of consignment workstations, point of sale systems, and database servers all across North America and I am the developer of Peeps' Software, Peeps2Go, and Peeps' Consignor Login for iOS and Android. I've been helping consignment & resale store-owners since 2003. I started The Computer Peeps in February of 2010. Peeps' Software launched in 2016 and is now on hundreds of systems all across North America. I have successfully converted dozens of stores from all of the major consignment software systems. After 20 years of working with consignment stores, I understand the unique challenges consignment & resale store-owners face. From electrical issues in old buildings or strip malls, to advocating for them when their old consignment software keeps crashing.
ConsignPro says that they have tons of different tag styles. Where are they? How does one access them?
In ConsignPro, there is a list of the styles that are compatible with ConsignPro itself…
ConsignPro supports the common tag formats, such as the 2-across direct-thermal tag. In that list, you’ll see 2622, Tags, Liberty Style (2-part) and Zebra Tags, Liberty style, barcode. Those are essentially the same tag, but an option for different types of printers – e.g. LP2844 vs. LP2824. Here is a sample of both of those tags…

Each of the consignment programs essentially support one or more of the following tags:
– 2-across Thermal
– 1-across Thermal
– Jewelry S
– Jewelry R
There are also labels formatted for a plain-paper printer, mailing labels, etc. The main tag that is the de facto style for all of the programs, is the 2-across format.
I hope this helps!
