making a security tag?

[creighbaby]

I need to ship a bag tomorrow morning and want to add a security tag to it. I don't have time to get any sent to me, so I will have to make one. Any ideas on how to do it? I live in NYC so if anyone knows of a shop that has what I need I can go there after work.

Thank you!

I would print one
.put your ebay name
.the I D # number of your auction
.name of bag
.date auction ended
add anything else you need to add
i would even put a secret saying or number or something on the inside of the tag.
punch a hole, use string , loop it through,take a picture
hope this helps
good luck
p.s do not forget confirmation & insurance

You can also pop down to KMart at Penn or on 8th Street and get yourself a cheap mini combination lock -- they're luggage locks and they're right next to the suitcases. $5 for peace of mind is a cheap price to pay. Hardware stores should also carry them.

The tyvek bands can also be found in most office supply stores. Might cost a little more than ebay but still relatively cheap.
