               TAG-IT PACIFIC, INC. PURCHASES TALON TRADEMARKS AND
                          TALON ZIPPER BUSINESS ASSETS

Woodland Hills, CA. January 7, 2002--Tag-It Pacific, Inc. (AMEX: TAG) is pleased
to announce that on December 21, 2001, the company entered into an asset
purchase agreement with Grupo Industrial Cierres Ideal, S.A. de C.V. and Talon,
Inc. whereby we purchased certain Talon Zipper business assets, including the
famous Talon(R)Zipper brand name, trademarks, patents, technical field equipment
and inventory. Tag-It has, for the past year and a half, been the exclusive
distributor of the Talon Brand of zippers.

Tag-It Pacific's CEO, Colin Dyne commented, "Talon is an American brand with
significant name recognition and brand equity. Talon was the original pioneer of
the formed wire metal zipper for the jeans industry. Talon is a specified zipper
brand for manufacturers in the sportswear and outerwear markets. Today, the
branded zipper market is dominated by one company, YKK. Our internal market
research indicates that there is a strong need for an additional quality branded
zipper supplier, and we believe Talon is uniquely positioned to be that player."

We believe the global zipper market is worth billions of dollars. Talon's sales
have historically been concentrated in the North American market. Tag-It Pacific
intends to roll out distribution in major apparel manufacturing regions around
the world, beginning immediately with the Pacific Rim, Central America and the
Caribbean.

Mr. Dyne continued, "This acquisition is also an important step in Tag-It's
strategy to offer a complete high quality trim package to apparel manufacturers,
including the Talon brand zipper, and Coats brand thread, with whom we completed
a supply and co-marketing arrangement in September of 2001."

With Tag-It in control of the Talon(R) business instead of being a distributor,
we plan to revitalize the Talon(R) brand and restore it to a leading position in
the industry by being highly responsive to customer needs and focusing on
maintaining quality and value.

Many major retailers and apparel brands recognize Talon Zippers as being
associated with the highest quality standards in the apparel industry.
