Do you just tape the boxes shut?
Do you completely wrap the outside with packing tape?

How do you tag your textile items in exhibits?
We have two rotations of almost everything within our exhibits so we can swap items daily and sanitize. I try to make sure everything is labeled so staff can see the items belong to us and what numbered rotation they belong to (ex. Tot Lot items = T1 or T2). Most fabric items I sew fabric tags onto which have our CMON logo on one side and then I write on the other side the rotation number.
