black tag

Final sale marker

Black tag refers to a triage classification for patients who are deceased or have injuries so severe that treatment would be futile, particularly during mass casualty events.

Medical responders use color-coded tags to prioritize care—black indicates no resuscitation will be attempted.

The term extends to retail, where a black tag may indicate final clearance pricing: Everything with a black tag is 75% off.
