How to order custom tags

Welcome an easy step-by-step guide designed to help you navigate the new CCK website and place your order for custom ear tags.

There are two options to begin your order for custom ear tags.

If you already know the tag you are looking for, shop through your chosen tag manufacturer. 

There two ways to find your manufacturer. The first method is to select "Manufacturers" from the dropdown menu on the Home Screen. 

Alternatively you can scroll down to the tiles on the Home Page and click on the Manufacturer tile located in the top left corner of the screen.

A new screen will populate allowing you to see the list of Manufacturers, simply make your selection of the manufacturer of your choice.  

If you are unsure of the tag you want to use, browse through the Print Option Menu. This will allow you to view all the custom tags from various manufacturers. Or check out this blog on ear tag comparisons. 

When the Print Option Menu opens, choose Custom Ear Tags Option to browse all custom tags by Manufacturer.

All the Ear Tags that can be Custom Imprinted appear for you to browse through.

For this tutorial we will chose the Y-Tex Large Ear Tag to Customize.

With this option chosen we are directed to the Y-Tex Large Ear Tag page, which displays all available options for that specific ear tag.

In this tutorial, we will choose the Y-Tex Large Custom 2 Sided tag. As illustrated in the diagram below, there are three steps to make this selection: first, select "Custom," then choose "Custom 2 Sides," and finally click on "Next."

The next screen will show all the tags that are available in this Y-Tex Large Ear Tag Size to be imprinted on both sides with custom information.

We choose - the Standard Tag - then choose a Tag with Button, then hit Next.

Next we see the Product Screen for the item where you can enter your order details.

This screen will provide information about the product, including available sizes and colors, as well as template options for imprinting your ear tag.

Be sure to check for the Inquiry Headings in Gold which highlight the important details you need to complete for your tag.

On left side, you'll find the product details. On the right side, there is a list of available templates for imprinting on the front of the tag.

For this tutorial we are going to chose a Template with Brand in the Neck, a Line of Text and Management Numbers.

Following the Inquiry Headings in Gold as a path, I make my choices about my Brand in the Neck, Line of Text and Management Numbers we want imprinted on the tag.

The first Inquiry Headings in Gold ask about our Brand.

There are two options. The First is to use an existing brand from a past order that is already set up with the manufacturer.

Please type the information about your brand and note any past orders in the box.

The second option is to put a new brand or logo on the tag.

If we select we have a new brand, the upload window will appear and we upload our artwork for the tags.

The next step for this template is to add your numbers.

For providing your Numbers, follow the Inquiry Statements in Gold Font. There are three things we need to know. 

First how will you Input your Numbers. Will you upload a file with your spreadsheet of numbers or manually add the numbers.

To upload a file with your spreadsheet of numbers - select Upload File then the upload window opens and you can browse for your spreadsheet and add it. The file name appears on screen. 

To manually add the numbers, first select if they are Sequential Numbers- for example 1, 2, 3, 4... or Non-sequential Numbers.

For Sequential Numbers add the start number and end number for up to 3 groups of Numbers. If you have more than 3 groups, please upload a spreadsheet instead.

For Sequential Numbers you can add a character to be included with your numbers such as L100 or 100L. Please answer Prepend- put character before the numbers or Append put the character after the numbers. Then include the character you need that will be added to all numbers.

For Non-Sequential Numbers.

First enter the quantity of the numbers you need to enter. 

Based on the total quantity of your numbers, boxes will appear for you to enter in your numbers. You can enter numbers and alphanumeric characters. Some tags will have a character limit.

Now that you have entered your numbers the next Inquiry Statements in Gold Font is asking about the line of text. Enter what you want printed on the tag. 

Once you have completed inputting your custom information, change the quantity from 1 to the amount of tags you have ordered and hit Add to Cart.
