The barcode on the price tickets will now use the industry standard UPC-A or EAN type barcode. Please follow the guidelines in this handbook carefully to avoid price ticket approval delays.
Revised ticket information may be sent to the vendor at any point in the Pre-Ticketing as a new department number, class number, sku number, retail price, and/or UPC number that will change the price ticket. If this occurs, the vendor must send revised tickets to the Pre-Ticketing team for approval.
Vendors creating price tickets for Big Lots are required to sign and return a TRADEMARK SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT-PRICE TICKETS form (see pages 27-30). This form specifies limitations regarding use of the BIG LOTS brand on price tickets. This form is specific to price tickets, and only one signed form is required for all tickets created.
The Pre-ticketing Team only reviews /comments on pre-price tickets. They do not comment /review packaging artwork. A separate approval process is done for packaging artwork and is handled by the Packaging Team.

3 The following paper quality requirements apply only to separate pre-price tickets, not those printed directly on packaging: Glossy White, Coat Cast Label, Stock Weight: 54# paper
Ticket adhesive must be of a quality which ensures ticket will adhere securely to item on package.
3 If ticket is printed directly on a polybag, we recommend that the white background be "double bumped" (white printed on top of white) to increase contrast and improve likelihood that the barcode will scan.
3 Pre-printed ticket should NEVER be covered with an adhesive barcode. 3 Do not modify the Big Lots Logo in any way.

3 Price ticket should be placed in the upper right-hand corner on the front of the package. One exception to this policy is hang tags. Price Tickets are placed on the back of hang tags. 3 Price ticket should never cover a hang hole. 3 Merchandise should not cover the price ticket in any way. 3 If price ticket is placed on a cylindrical object (wrapping paper rolls, taper candles, broom

TEAR AWAY TICKETS
A ticket type has been developed to allow the customer to remove the price from the ticket using the perforated line after purchase.
The entire ticket is printed on a removable adhesive. The blue box on the top of the ticket indiciates a back liner cut. This means the removable adhesive does not get applied to this area. This will allow for the top portion of the ticket to be more easily removed.
