Tagging Items: Any items that seem impossible to tag according to the following instructions will be completed by a volunteer at check-in.

• Use the smallest zip tie possible 
• Utilize any permanently fixed structures on the item to attach the zip tie
• Leave a loop in the zip tie between the closure points. This allows movement and reduces separation of the tag from the item.
