"Assortimento taglie" gets lots of Google hits, and it refers to clothing sizes. I think "assortimento" probably means "range".

Note from asker:
Constantinos, much as I appreciate your efforts, it does not seem to be clear to you that I only ask questions when the answers I get from consulting dictionaries and search engines are unconvincing: I hoped to find professional colleagues perhaps in this case with experience of working in clothing shops etc. Please only answer my questions when you feel that you have greater competency or intuition than me.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : It may be something along these lines, but your reference is to birds and therefore completely irrelevant.

storage room

I think it just means that the storage room (where other clothes sizes are kept) is lacking the required emergency exit indications

zona vendita = sales area (front line)

as opposed to


zona assortimento taglie = storage area
(where further sizes are kept)

afterthought: either the storage area, or a specific point in the sales area where all sizes are displayed (I'm thinking about franchising stores, where one sample is displayed in a standard size and all other sizes may be found on shelves or racks)

(size) sorting room area

sorting s. (comm.) assortimento

I'd leave out the 'size' unless it's important
