Size Standards

WIDTH - 2 ½ inches
LENGTH - 4 inches

Ticket Placement Standards
Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman have established Ticketing Standards so that we can maintain a high visual standard throughout our stores. The standards will detail specific ticket placement requirements that we will uphold. Please contact Vendor Compliance if you are unable to meet our requirements.

Apparel Miscellaneous Attachments
All vendor tags containing care instructions, buttons, and extra yarn must be in a concealed location on the garment. This location may be behind the vendor UPC ticket as long as the packets or care ticket is no larger that the vendor’s UPC ticket.

Apparel Attachment Types
The vendor ticket must be attached by a swiftach (plastic barb) that is no longer than 3" in length. Safety pins are not an acceptable attachment method.

All Other Merchandise Categories
A UPC label must be placed in a visible location on the product or packaging. Each individual item must be labeled with an UPC. If you offer a specific merchandise category that is not listed above, please contact the Vendor Compliance office for further instructions.
