also serve as a specified  supplier of trim items to owners of specific  brands,
brand  licensees and  retailers,  including  Abercrombie  & Fitch,  The Limited,
Express,  Lerner and Miller's Outpost,  among others. We also distribute zippers
under our TALON brand name to owners of apparel brands and apparel manufacturers
such as Levi  Strauss & Co.,  VF  Corporation  and  Tropical  Sportswear,  among

division develops and sells apparel components that utilize the patented Pro-Fit
technology,  including a stretch waistband. We market these products to the same
customers targeted by our MANAGED TRIM SOLUTION and TALON zipper divisions.



ABOUT THE OFFERING

         This  prospectus may be used only in connection  with the resale by the
selling stockholders of up to 3,879,785 shares of our common stock.


         We will not receive any proceeds  from the sale of the shares of common

CORPORATE INFORMATION

         We were  incorporated  in Delaware in September 1997. We were formed to
serve as the parent holding company of Tag-It,  Inc., a California  corporation,
Tag-It  Printing &  Packaging  Ltd.,  which  changed  its name in 1999 to Tag-It
Pacific  (HK) LTD, a BVI  corporation,  Tag-It de Mexico,  S.A. de C.V.,  A.G.S.
Stationery,  Inc., a California  corporation,  and Pacific Trim & Belt,  Inc., a
California corporation.  All of these companies were consolidated under a parent
limited  liability  company in October 1997.  These companies  became our wholly
owned subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective date of our initial public
offering in January  1998.  In 2000,  we formed two wholly  owned  subsidiaries,
Tag-It Pacific Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, and Talon International,  Inc.,
a Delaware corporation.

         Our  executive  offices are located at 21900 Burbank  Boulevard,  Suite

                                  RISK FACTORS

         YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY  CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO
BUY OUR  COMMON  STOCK.  THE RISKS  AND  UNCERTAINTIES  DESCRIBED  BELOW ARE THE
MATERIAL ONES FACING OUR COMPANY.  IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR,
OUR BUSINESS,  FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WOULD LIKELY SUFFER.
IF THIS OCCURS, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE, AND YOU MAY
LOSE ALL OR PART OF THE MONEY YOU PAID TO BUY OUR COMMON STOCK.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING

         WE OPERATE IN AN INDUSTRY THAT IS SUBJECT TO  SIGNIFICANT  FLUCTUATIONS
IN  OPERATING  RESULTS FROM  QUARTER TO QUARTER,  THAT MAY RESULT IN  UNEXPECTED
REDUCTIONS IN REVENUE AND STOCK PRICE VOLATILITY. Factors that may influence our
quarterly operating results include:

         o        The volume and timing of customer  orders  received during the
                  quarter;

         o        The timing and magnitude of customers' marketing campaigns;

         o        The loss or addition of a major customer;

         o        The availability and pricing of materials for our products;

         o        The  increased   expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  the
                  introduction of new products;

         o        Currency fluctuations;

         o        Delays caused by third parties; and

         o        Changes in our product mix or in the relative  contribution to
                  sales of our subsidiaries.

         Due to  these  factors,  it is  possible  that  in  some  quarters  our
operating  results  may be below  our  stockholders'  expectations  and those of
public  market  analysts.  If this  occurs,  the price of our common stock would
likely be adversely affected.

         OUR STOCK PRICE MAY DECREASE, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS
AND CAUSE OUR STOCKHOLDERS TO SUFFER  SIGNIFICANT  LOSSES. The following factors
could  cause  the  market  price  of  our  common  stock  to  decrease,  perhaps
substantially:

         o        The  failure  of  our  quarterly  operating  results  to  meet
                  expectations of investors or securities analysts;

         o        Adverse  developments  in the financial  markets,  the apparel
                  industry and the worldwide or regional economies;

         o        Interest rates;

         o        Changes in accounting principles;

         o        Sales of common stock by existing  shareholders  or holders of
                  options;

         o        Announcements of key developments by our competitors; and

         o        The   reaction   of  markets   and   securities   analysts  to
                  announcements and developments involving our company.

         IF WE NEED TO SELL OR ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ASSUME
ADDITIONAL DEBT TO FINANCE FUTURE GROWTH,  OUR STOCKHOLDERS'  OWNERSHIP COULD BE
DILUTED OR OUR EARNINGS COULD BE ADVERSELY  IMPACTED.  Our business strategy may
include expansion through internal growth, by acquiring complementary businesses
or  by  establishing   strategic   relationships  with  targeted  customers  and
suppliers.  In order  to do so or to fund our  other  activities,  we may  issue
additional  equity   securities  that


                                       4





could dilute our  stockholders'  stock ownership.  We may also assume additional
debt and incur  impairment  losses related to goodwill and other tangible assets
if we acquire  another company and this could  negatively  impact our results of
operations.

         WE HAVE ADOPTED A NUMBER OF ANTI-TAKEOVER MEASURES THAT MAY DEPRESS THE
PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. Our  stockholders'  rights plan, our ability to issue
additional  shares of preferred  stock and some provisions of our certificate of
incorporation  and bylaws and of Delaware law could make it more difficult for a
third party to make an unsolicited  takeover attempt of us. These  anti-takeover
measures may depress the price of our common  stock by making it more  difficult
for third parties to acquire us by offering to purchase shares of our stock at a
premium to its market price.

         INSIDERS OWN A  SIGNIFICANT  PORTION OF OUR COMMON  STOCK,  WHICH COULD
LIMIT OUR STOCKHOLDERS' ABILITY TO INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF KEY TRANSACTIONS. As
of June 15,  2003,  our  officers  and  directors  and  their  affiliates  owned
approximately  31.7% of the  outstanding  shares of our common  stock.  The Dyne
family,  which includes Mark Dyne, Colin Dyne, Larry Dyne, Jonathan Burstein and
the  estate  of  Harold  Dyne,  beneficially  owned  approximately  35.3% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. The number of shares  beneficially owned
by the Dyne family includes the shares of common stock held by Azteca Production
International, which are voted by Colin Dyne pursuant to a voting agreement. The
Azteca  Production  International  shares constitute  approximately  8.8% of the
outstanding  shares of common stock at June 15, 2003.  Gerard Guez and Todd Kay,
significant  stockholders of Tarrant Apparel Group, each own approximately 10.5%
of the outstanding shares of our common stock at June 15, 2003. As a result, our
officers  and  directors,  the Dyne family and Messrs.  Kay and Guez are able to
exert considerable influence over the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote
of the  holders of our common  stock,  including  the  election  of our Board of
Directors.  The voting power of these  stockholders could also discourage others
from seeking to acquire  control of us through the purchase of our common stock,
which might depress the price of our common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS


         IF  WE  LOSE  OUR  LARGEST  CUSTOMERS  OR  THEY  FAIL  TO  PURCHASE  AT
ANTICIPATED  LEVELS, OUR SALES AND OPERATING RESULTS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Our largest customer,  Tarrant Apparel Group,  accounted for approximately 41.5%
and  42.3% of our net  sales,  on a  consolidated  basis,  for the  years  ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001,  respectively,  and 24.1% of our total sales for the
six months ended June 30, 2003.  In December  2000, we entered into an exclusive
supply agreement with Azteca  Production  International,  AZT International SA D
RL,  and  Commerce  Investment  Group,  LLC  that  provides  for  a  minimum  of
$10,000,000 in total annual purchases by Azteca Production International and its
affiliates  during each year of the  three-year  term of the  agreement.  Azteca
Production  International is required to purchase from us only if we are able to
provide trim products on a competitive basis in terms of price and quality.


         Our results of operations will depend to a significant  extent upon the
commercial success of Azteca Production International and Tarrant Apparel Group.
If Azteca and Tarrant fail to purchase our trim products at anticipated  levels,
or our relationship  with Azteca or Tarrant  terminates,  it may have an adverse
affect on our results because:

         o        We will lose a primary  source of revenue if either of Tarrant
                  or Azteca choose not to purchase our products or services;

         o        We  may  not  be  able  to  reduce  fixed  costs  incurred  in
                  developing  the  relationship  with  Azteca  and  Tarrant in a
                  timely manner;

         o        We may not be able to recoup setup and inventory costs;

         o        We may be left holding  inventory that cannot be sold to other
                  customers; and


                                       5





         o        We may not be able to collect our receivables from them.


         CONCENTRATION   OF  RECEIVABLES   FROM  OUR  LARGEST   CUSTOMERS  MAKES
RECEIVABLE BASED FINANCING  DIFFICULT AND INCREASES THE RISK THAT IF OUR LARGEST
CUSTOMERS FAIL TO PAY US, OUR CASH FLOW WOULD BE SEVERELY AFFECTED. Our business
relies  heavily on a relatively  small number of  customers,  including  Tarrant
Apparel Group and Azteca  Production  International.  This  concentration of our
business  reduces the amount we can borrow from our  lenders  under  receivables
based financing  agreements.  Under our credit  agreement with UPS Capital,  for
instance,  if accounts  receivable  due us from a particular  customer  exceed a
specified  percentage of the total eligible accounts receivable against which we
can borrower,  UPS Capital will not lend against the receivables that exceed the
specified percentage. Further, if we are unable to collect any large receivables
due us, our cash flow would be severely impacted.


         BECAUSE WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS,  WE MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO  ALWAYS  OBTAIN  MATERIALS  WHEN WE  NEED  THEM  AND WE MAY  LOSE  SALES  AND
CUSTOMERS.  Lead times for materials we order can vary  significantly and depend
on many factors,  including the specific  supplier,  the contract  terms and the
demand for  particular  materials  at a given  time.  From time to time,  we may
experience  fluctuations  in the  prices,  and  disruptions  in the  supply,  of
materials. Shortages or disruptions in the supply of materials, or our inability
to procure  materials  from alternate  sources at acceptable  prices in a timely
manner, could lead us to miss deadlines for orders and lose sales and customers.

         OUR REVENUES MAY BE HARMED IF GENERAL ECONOMIC  CONDITIONS  WORSEN. Our
revenues depend on the health of the economy and the growth of our customers and
potential future customers.  When economic  conditions  weaken,  certain apparel
manufacturers and retailers,  including some of our customers,  have experienced
in the past,  and may  experience in the future,  financial  difficulties  which
increase the risk of extending  credit to such  customers.  Customers  adversely
affected  by  economic  conditions  have also  attempted  to  improve  their own
operating efficiencies by concentrating their purchasing power among a narrowing
group of  vendors.  There can be no  assurance  that we will  remain a preferred
vendor to our existing customers. A decrease in business from or loss of a major
customer  could have a material  adverse  effect on our  results of  operations.
Further, if the economic conditions in the United States worsen or if a wider or
global economic  slowdown occurs, we may experience a material adverse impact on
our business, operating results, and financial condition.

         IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO MANAGE OUR RAPID  EXPANSION AND GROWTH,  WE COULD
INCUR  UNFORESEEN  COSTS OR DELAYS AND OUR  REPUTATION  AND  RELIABILITY  IN THE
MARKETPLACE  AND OUR  REVENUES  WILL BE  ADVERSELY  AFFECTED.  The growth of our
operations  and  activities  has placed and will continue to place a significant
strain on our management, operational, financial and accounting resources. If we
cannot  implement  and improve our  financial  and  management  information  and
reporting  systems,  we may not be  able  to  implement  our  growth  strategies
successfully  and our revenues will be adversely  affected.  In addition,  if we
cannot hire, train, motivate and manage new employees,  including management and
operating personnel in sufficient  numbers,  and integrate them into our overall
operations and culture, our ability to manage future growth, increase production
levels and effectively  market and distribute our products may be  significantly
impaired.

         OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE CYCLICAL  BUYING PATTERNS WHICH MAY CAUSE US TO HAVE
PERIODS OF LOW SALES VOLUME.  Most of our customers are in the apparel industry.
The apparel  industry  historically  has been  subject to  substantial  cyclical
variations. Our business has experienced, and we expect our business to continue
to  experience,  significant  cyclical  fluctuations  due, in part,  to customer
buying  patterns,  which may result in periods of low sales usually in the first
and fourth quarters of our financial year.

         OUR BUSINESS MODEL IS DEPENDENT ON  INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION  SYSTEMS
ON A GLOBAL  BASIS AND, TO THE EXTENT  THAT WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN  AND SUPPORT OUR
INFORMATION  SYSTEMS,  IT CAN RESULT IN LOST REVENUES.  We must  consolidate and
centralize  the  management of our  subsidiaries  and  significantly


                                       6





expand and improve our financial and operating controls.  Additionally,  we must
effectively  integrate  the  information  systems of our Mexican  and  Caribbean
facilities with the information  systems of our principal  offices in California
and Florida. Our failure to do so could result in lost revenues, delay financial
reporting or adversely affect availability of funds under our credit facilities.

         THE LOSS OF KEY MANAGEMENT AND SALES PERSONNEL  COULD ADVERSELY  AFFECT
OUR BUSINESS,  INCLUDING OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN AND SECURE  ACCOUNTS AND GENERATE
SALES. Our success has and will continue to depend to a significant  extent upon
key management and sales personnel,  many of whom would be difficult to replace,
particularly Colin Dyne, our Chief Executive Officer. Colin Dyne is not bound by
an employment agreement.  The loss of the services of Colin Dyne or the services
of other key  employees  could have a material  adverse  effect on our business,
including our ability to establish and maintain client relationships. Our future
success  will  depend in large  part upon our  ability  to  attract  and  retain
personnel with a variety of sales, operating and managerial skills.

         IF WE EXPERIENCE DISRUPTIONS AT ANY OF OUR FOREIGN FACILITIES,  WE WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS AND MAY LOSE SALES AND CUSTOMERS. Currently,
we do not operate duplicate facilities in different geographic areas. Therefore,
in the  event of a  regional  disruption  where we  maintain  one or more of our
facilities,  it is unlikely  that we could shift our  operations  to a different
geographic  region and we may have to cease or curtail our operations.  This may
cause us to lose sales and customers.  The types of  disruptions  that may occur
include:

         o        Foreign trade disruptions;

         o        Import restrictions;

         o        Labor disruptions;

         o        Embargoes;

         o        Government intervention; and

         o        Natural disasters.

         INTERNET-BASED   SYSTEMS  THAT  HOST  OUR  MANAGED  TRIM  SOLUTION  MAY
EXPERIENCE  DISRUPTIONS AND AS A RESULT WE MAY LOSE REVENUES AND CUSTOMERS.  Our
MANAGED  TRIM  SOLUTION  is an  Internet-based  business-to-business  e-commerce
system. To the extent that we fail to adequately continue to update and maintain
the hardware and software implementing the MANAGED TRIM SOLUTION,  our customers
may  experience  interruptions  in service due to defects in our hardware or our
source code.  In addition,  since our MANAGED TRIM  SOLUTION is  Internet-based,
interruptions in Internet service generally can negatively impact our customers'
ability to use the MANAGED TRIM SOLUTION to monitor and manage  various  aspects
of their trim needs. Such defects or interruptions could result in lost revenues
and lost customers.

         THERE ARE MANY  COMPANIES  THAT OFFER SOME OR ALL OF THE  PRODUCTS  AND
SERVICES WE SELL AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY  COMPETE OUR BUSINESS WILL
BE  ADVERSELY  AFFECTED.   We  compete  in  highly  competitive  and  fragmented
industries  with numerous local and regional  companies that provide some or all
of  the  products  and  services  we  offer.   We  compete  with   national  and
international   design  companies,   distributors  and  manufacturers  of  tags,
packaging  products,  zippers  and other trim  items.  Some of our  competitors,
including  Paxar  Corporation,  YKK,  Universal  Button,  Inc.,  Avery  Dennison
Corporation and Scovill Fasteners,  Inc., have greater name recognition,  longer
operating  histories  and, in many cases,  substantially  greater  financial and
other resources than we do.

         IF  CUSTOMERS  DEFAULT ON BUYBACK  AGREEMENTS  WITH US, WE WILL BE LEFT
HOLDING  UNSALABLE  INVENTORY.  Inventories  include  goods that are  subject to
buyback  agreements  with our  customers.  Under these  buyback  agreements  the
customer must purchase the inventories from us, under normal invoice and selling
terms,  if any inventory  which we purchase on their behalf remains in our hands
longer than agreed


                                       7





by the customer  from the time we received  the goods from our  vendors.  If any
customer  defaults  on  these  buyback  provisions,  we may  incur a  charge  in
connection with our holding significant amounts of unsalable inventory.

         UNAUTHORIZED  USE  OF  OUR  PROPRIETARY  TECHNOLOGY  MAY  INCREASE  OUR
LITIGATION  COSTS AND ADVERSELY  AFFECT OUR SALES.  We rely on trademark,  trade
secret and copyright laws to protect our designs and other proprietary  property
worldwide.  We cannot be certain that these laws will be  sufficient  to protect
our property.  In  particular,  the laws of some countries in which our products
are distributed or may be distributed in the future may not protect our products
and intellectual  rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. If
litigation  is  necessary  in the future to enforce  our  intellectual  property
rights,  to protect our trade  secrets or to determine the validity and scope of
the proprietary  rights of others,  such litigation  could result in substantial
costs and diversion of resources.  This could have a material  adverse effect on
our operating results and financial condition. Ultimately, we may be unable, for
financial or other reasons,  to enforce our rights under  intellectual  property
laws, which could result in lost sales.

         IF OUR PRODUCTS INFRINGE ANY OTHER PERSON'S  PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, WE MAY
BE SUED AND HAVE TO PAY LARGE  LEGAL  EXPENSES  AND  JUDGMENTS  AND  REDESIGN OR
DISCONTINUE  SELLING  OUR  PRODUCTS.  From time to time in our  industry,  third
parties  allege  infringement  of their  proprietary  rights.  Any  infringement
claims, whether or not meritorious, could result in costly litigation or require
us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements as a means of settlement. If we
are  found to have  infringed  the  proprietary  rights of  others,  we could be
required to pay damages, cease sales of the infringing products and redesign the
products or  discontinue  their sale.  Any of these  outcomes,  individually  or
collectively,  could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and
financial condition.

         WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REALIZE THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF ACQUISITIONS.
We may consider strategic  acquisitions as opportunities  arise,  subject to the
obtaining of any  necessary  financing.  Acquisitions  involve  numerous  risks,
including  diversion  of our  management's  attention  away  from our  operating
activities.  We  cannot  assure  our  stockholders  that we will  not  encounter
unanticipated problems or liabilities relating to the integration of an acquired
company's  operations,  nor can we assure our stockholders  that we will realize
the anticipated benefits of any future acquisitions.

         WE MAY FACE  INTERRUPTION  OF PRODUCTION  AND SERVICES DUE TO INCREASED
SECURITY  MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO  TERRORISM.  Our business  depends on the free
flow of products and services  through the  channels of commerce.  Recently,  in
response  to  terrorists'  activities  and threats  aimed at the United  States,
transportation,  mail,  financial and other services have been slowed or stopped
altogether.  Further delays or stoppages in transportation,  mail,  financial or
other services could have a material adverse effect on our business,  results of
operations and financial condition.  Furthermore,  we may experience an increase
in operating costs, such as costs for transportation,  insurance and security as
a result of the  activities  and potential  activities.  We may also  experience
delays  in  receiving  payments  from  payers  that have  been  affected  by the
terrorist  activities  and potential  activities.  The United States  economy in
general is being  adversely  affected by the terrorist  activities and potential
activities  and any  economic  downturn  could  adversely  impact our results of
operations,  impair our ability to raise capital or otherwise  adversely  affect
our ability to grow our business.

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


         This prospectus  contains  statements  that constitute  forward-looking
statements  within the  meaning of Section 21E of the  Exchange  Act of 1934 and

"anticipate,"  "predict,"  "believe"  and  similar  expressions  and  variations
thereof are intended to identify  forward-looking  statements.  Such  statements



                                       8





appear in a number of places in this prospectus and include statements regarding
our intent,  belief or current  expectations  regarding our  strategies,  future
sales, other plans and objectives,  our ability to design,  develop,  source and
market  products,  and the  ability  of our  products  to  achieve  or  maintain
commercial  acceptance.  Any  forward-looking  statements  are not guarantees of
future  performance  and involve  risks and  uncertainties.  Actual  results may
differ  materially  from those  projected in this  prospectus,  for the reasons,
among  others,  described in the Risk Factors  section  beginning on page 4. You
should  read the Risk  Factors  section  carefully,  and should not place  undue
reliance on any forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the date of

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         The proceeds from the sale of each selling  stockholder's  common stock
will belong to that selling  stockholder.  We will not receive any proceeds from
such sales.


         In a May 2003 private placement, we sold 1,725,000 shares of our common
stock at a price  per  share of $3.50 for net  proceeds  to us of  approximately
$5,529,000.  Of these  proceeds,  we used  approximately  $4,000,000 for general
working  capital  purposes,   and  we  presently  intend  to  use  approximately
$1,500,000  to  purchase  capital  equipment  primarily  for  our  Talon  zipper
business.


                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

COMMON STOCK FINANCING

         In May 2003, we entered into a securities purchase agreement,  pursuant
to which we sold shares of our common stock, with the following investors:  Neil
I Goldman,  Prism Offshore Fund, Ltd, Prism Partners,  LP, SF Capital  Partners,
Ltd.,  MicroCapital Fund Limited Partner,  MicroCapital LLC,  Lagunitas Partners
LP, Gruber & McBaine  International,  Jon D. Gruber and Linda W. Gruber,  and J.
Patterson  McBaine.  Pursuant to this  securities  purchase  agreement,  we sold
1,725,000 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $3.50 for aggregate
proceeds to us of $6,037,500. Roth Capital Partners LLC acted as placement agent
in  connection  with this private  placement  financing  transaction.  For their
services as placement agent, we paid Roth Capital Partners LLC a fee equal to 8%
of  our  gross   proceeds   from  the   financing   ($483,000)   and  a  $25,000
non-accountable  expense  allowance.  In  addition,  we issued  to Roth  Capital
Partners  LLC a warrant to purchase up to 172,500  shares of our common stock at
an exercise price of $5.06 per share. The warrants have a term of 5 years. These
warrants  vest and become  exercisable  on August  30,  2003.

COMMON  STOCK AND WARRANT FINANCINGS


         HARRIS TOIBB

         On  December  28,  2001,  we entered  into stock and  warrant  purchase
agreement  with Harris  Toibb,  pursuant to which we sold an  aggregate  666,666
shares of our common stock at a price per share of $3.00 for aggregate  proceeds
to us of  $2,000,000.  Of these shares,  266,666


                                       9





shares were sold at the initial  closing under this  agreement,  and 100,000 and
300,000 shares were sold at subsequent closings in March 2002 and February 2003,
respectively.  Additionally, we issued to Mr. Toibb warrants to purchase 333,333
shares our common stock. All of the warrants were  immediately  exercisable upon
their issuance. The initial exercise price for one half of the warrants is $4.34
per share and the exercise  price of the remaining  warrants is $4.73 per share,
representing  110% and 120%,  respectively,  of the  market  value of our common
stock on the  date of the  first  closing.  With  respect  to  150,000  of these
warrants,  the exercise price was reduced to $3.50 per share upon the closing of
the May 2003 common stock  financing,  in  accordance  with  certain  adjustment
provisions  contained in the warrants.  The exercise price for the warrants will
be adjusted  upward by 25% of the amount,  if any,  that the market price of our
common  stock on the  exercise  date  exceeds  the  initial  exercise  price (as
adjusted) up to a maximum  exercise price of $5.25.  The warrants have a term of
four years from the date of issuance.

         MARK DYNE

         On  January  7,  2002,  we  entered  into  stock and  warrant  purchase
agreement  with Mark Dyne,  the chairman of our board of directors,  pursuant to
which we sold  166,666  shares of our common stock at a price per share of $3.00
for aggregate  proceeds to us of $500,000.  Additionally,  we issued to Mr. Dyne
warrants to purchase  83,333 shares our common  stock.  All of the warrants were
immediately  exercisable upon their issuance. The exercise price for one half of
the warrants is $4.34 per share and the exercise price of the remaining warrants
is $4.73 per  share,  representing  110% and 120%,  respectively,  of the market
value of our common  stock on the date of closing.  The  exercise  price for the
warrants will be adjusted  upward by 25% of the amount,  if any, that the market
price of our common  stock on the  exercise  date  exceeds the initial  exercise
price (as adjusted) up to a maximum exercise price of $5.25. The warrants have a
term of four years from the date of issuance.

         CRAGLENNON INVESTMENTS LIMITED

         On  January  8,  2002,  we  entered  into  stock and  warrant  purchase
agreement with Craglennon Investments Limited,  pursuant to which we sold 83,333
shares of our common stock at a price per share of $3.00 for aggregate  proceeds
to us of $250,000.  Additionally,  we issued to Craglennon  Investments  Limited
warrants to purchase  41,666 shares our common  stock.  All of the warrants were
immediately  exercisable upon their issuance. The exercise price for one half of
the warrants is $4.34 per share and the exercise price of the remaining warrants
is $4.73 per  share,  representing  110% and 120%,  respectively,  of the market
value of our common  stock on the date of closing.  The  exercise  price for the
warrants will be adjusted  upward by 25% of the amount,  if any, that the market
price of our common  stock on the  exercise  date  exceeds the initial  exercise
price (as adjusted) up to a maximum exercise price of $5.25. The warrants have a
term of four years from the date of issuance.


CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK FOR SUPPLY AGREEMENT

         In September  2001, we entered into a Series C Preferred Stock purchase
agreement  with Coats North  America  Consolidated,  Inc.,  pursuant to which we
issued  759,494  shares of Series C Convertible  Redeemable  Preferred  Stock to
Coats in exchange for a cash investment  from Coats of $3,000,001.  The Series C
Preferred  Stock  accrues  cumulative  dividends at the rate 6% per annum.  Each
share of Series C  Preferred  Stock is  convertible  at the option of the holder
into the number of shares of common stock as is  determined  by dividing (x) the
Series C  Liquidation  amount  (which  is  $3.95  plus all  accrued  and  unpaid
dividends, as adjusted from time to time) by


                                       10





(y) the  conversion  price  applicable to such share.  The  conversion  price is
$4.94.  The Series C Preferred  Stock is  redeemable at the option of the holder
after four years.  If the holders elect to redeem the Series C Preferred  Stock,
we have the option to redeem for cash at the stated  value of  $3,000,001  or in
the form of our common  stock at 85% of the market  price of our common stock on
the date of  redemption.  If the market price of our common stock on the date of
redemption  is less than $2.75 per share,  we must redeem for cash at the stated
value of the  Series C  Preferred  Stock.  We can elect to redeem  the  Series C
Preferred  Stock at any time for cash at the stated  value.  Each  holder of the
Series C  Preferred  Stock has the right to vote with the common  stock based on
the number of common  shares  that the Series C  Preferred  Stock  could then be
converted into on the record date.

         In connection with the Series C Preferred Stock purchase agreement,  we
also entered into a 10-year  co-marketing  and supply  agreement with Coats. The
co-marketing  and supply  agreement  provides  for selected  introductions  into
Coats'  customer base and that our trim packages will  exclusively  offer thread
manufactured  by Coats.  Total purchases from Coats for the years ended December
31,  2002  and 2001  amounted  to  approximately  $12,276,000  and  $18,247,000,
respectively.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

         Each of the investors in the private  placement  transactions  received
"piggyback"  registration rights with respect to the common stock they purchased
and with respect to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants they
received,  whereby they are entitled to include for registration all or any part
of the common stock they  purchased  and/or which underlie  their  warrants,  in
certain eligible registration  statements.  The registration  statement of which
this prospectus is a part qualifies as an eligible registration statement.

         In connection with the May 2003 private  placement  financing,  we also
entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors. Pursuant to the
registrant rights agreement,  we agreed to file a registration statement on Form
S-3  registering  the resale by the  investors  of the shares of common stock we
issued in the transaction and to keep the registration statement effective until
the  sooner of two  years or until  all the  registered  shares  are sold.  This
registration  rights  agreement  also  provides  that if we do not  register for
resale the shares of our common  stock we issued to the  investors by August 28,
2003, then we must pay each of the investors 1% of aggregate purchase price paid
by such  investor  upon  such  failure  to  register  the  shares  and 1% of the
aggregate  purchase  price paid by such investor for each month after August 28,
2003 that we do not register  the shares.  Pursuant to this  agreement,  and the
subsequent election by the other selling stockholders identified in this section
to exercise their  "piggyback"  registration  rights,  we filed the registration
statement of which this  prospectus is a part with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission  to  register  for resale the shares of common  stock,  the shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred  Stock,  and the
shares of common stock  underlying  warrants,  identified in this prospectus and
owned by the selling stockholders.

OTHER MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH TAG-IT PACIFIC


         Mark  Dyne,  a selling  stockholder  and the  chairman  of our board of
directors,  loaned us $160,000 in August 1999 and $15,000 in January 1999.  This
indebtedness is evidenced by


                                       11





unsecured  promissory  notes,  dated August 17, 1999 and January 31, 1999, which
are due and  payable on demand and bear  interest at a rate of 7.0% and 7.5% per
annum.  During the year ended  December 31, 2000, we repaid $95,205 to Mr. Dyne.
In October 2000, Mark Dyne loaned us a further  $500,000.  This  indebtedness is
evidenced by a convertible secured  subordinated  promissory note, dated October
4, 2000,  which is due and payable on demand,  bears interest at a rate of 11.0%
per annum and is convertible at the election of the holder into our common stock
at a price of $4.50 per share. At June 30, 2003, we were indebted to Mr. Dyne in
the aggregate amount of $762,398.

         At June 30, 2003, we were  indebted to Monto  Holdings Pty. Ltd. in the
aggregate amount of $145,087.  Mark Dyne holds a significant  equity interest in
Monto  Holdings  Pty.  Ltd.  The loans from Monto  Holdings  Pty.  Ltd.  are all
evidenced by promissory notes which bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and
are due and payable on the  fifteenth day following the date on which the holder
of the promissory note makes written demand for payment.


         On October  4, 2002,  we entered  into a note  payable  agreement  with
Harris  Toibb,  a  selling  stockholder,  in the  amount  of  $500,000  to  fund
additional working capital requirements.  The note payable was unsecured, due on
demand,  accrued interest at 4% and was  subordinated to UPS Capital.  This note
was re-paid on February 28, 2003.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The shares of our common stock offered  pursuant to this prospectus may
be offered and sold from time to time by the selling  stockholders listed in the
preceding section, or their donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors in
interest that receive such shares as a gift or other non-sale related  transfer.
These selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with
respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

         The  selling  stockholders  and any of their  pledgees,  assignees  and
successors-in-interest  may, from time to time,  sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on any stock exchange,  market or trading  facility on which the
shares  are traded or in private  transactions.  These  sales may be at fixed or
negotiated  prices.  The  selling  stockholders  may  use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:

         o        Ordinary brokerage  transactions and transactions in which the
                  broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

         o        Block trades in which the  broker-dealer  will attempt to sell
                  the shares as agent but may  position  and resell a portion of
                  the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;


                                       14





         o        Purchases by a  broker-dealer  as principal  and resale by the
                  broker-dealer for its account;

         o        An exchange  distribution  in accordance with the rules of the
                  applicable exchange;

         o        Privately negotiated transactions;

         o        Settlement of short sales;

         o        Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell
                  a specified  number of such shares at a  stipulated  price per
                  share;

         o        A combination of any such methods of sale; and

         o        Any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

         The selling  stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available,  rather
than under this prospectus.

         Broker-dealers  engaged by the  selling  stockholders  may  arrange for
other  brokers-dealers  to  participate  in sales.  Broker-dealers  may  receive
commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer
acts as agent for the purchaser of shares,  from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated.  The  selling  stockholders  do not  expect  these  commissions  and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

         The  selling  stockholders  may  from  time to time  pledge  or grant a
security  interest  in some or all of the shares of common  stock  owned by them
and,  if they  default in the  performance  of their  secured  obligations,  the
pledgees or secured  parties may offer and sell the shares of common  stock from
time to time under this  prospectus,  or under an amendment  to this  prospectus
under  Rule  424(b)(3)  or other  applicable  provision  of the  Securities  Act
amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee,  transferee or
other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.


         The  selling  stockholders  and any  broker-dealers  or agents that are
involved  in selling  the shares may be deemed to be  "underwriters"  within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event,  any
commissions  received  by such  broker-dealers  or agents  and any profit on the
resale  of the  shares  purchased  by  them  may be  deemed  to be  underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have
informed us that they do not have any  agreement or  understanding,  directly or
indirectly,  with any person to distribute  the common stock.  Additionally,  SF
Capital Partners Ltd., who is an affiliate of a  broker-dealer,  has informed us
that it  purchased  the shares to be resold for its own account in the  ordinary
course of business.


         We  are  required  to  pay  all  fees  and  expenses  incident  to  the
registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders
against certain losses, claims,  damages and liabilities,  including liabilities
under the Securities Act.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Registrant's  Certificate of  Incorporation  and its Bylaws provide
for the indemnification by the Registrant of each director, officer and employee
of the  Registrant  to the fullest  extent  permitted  by the  Delaware  General
Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.  Section 145 of
the  Delaware  General   Corporation  Law  provides  in  relevant  part  that  a
corporation  may  indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be  made a  party  to any  threatened,  pending  or  completed  action,  suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director,  officer, employee or agent of the corporation,  or
is or was serving at the  request of the  corporation  as a  director,  officer,
employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement  actually and reasonably  incurred by such person
in connection with such action,  suit or proceeding if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal action
or  proceeding,  had no reasonable  cause to believe such  person's  conduct was
unlawful.

         In addition,  Section 145 provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person  who  was or is a  party  or is  threatened  to be  made a  party  to any
threatened,  pending  or  completed  action  or suit by or in the  right  of the
corporation  to procure a judgment  in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director,  officer, employee or agent of the corporation,  or
is or was serving at the  request of the  corporation  as a  director,  officer,
employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust or
other  enterprise  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees) actually and
reasonably  incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if such  person  acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no  indemnification  shall be made in respect of any
claim,  issue or matter as to which such person  shall have been  adjudged to be
liable to the corporation  unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court
of  Chancery  or the  court in which  such  action  or suit  was  brought  shall


                                      II-1





determine upon  application  that,  despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the  circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses  which the Delaware Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper.  Delaware law further  provides that nothing
in the above described  provisions shall be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to  indemnification  or  advancement  of  expenses  to which any  person  may be
entitled  under any bylaw,  agreement,  vote of  stockholders  or  disinterested
directors or otherwise.

         The Registrant's  Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director
of the Registrant  shall not be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.  Section  102(o)(7)
of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law provides that a provision so limiting
the personal  liability of a director shall not eliminate or limit the liability
of a director for,  among other things:  breach of the duty of loyalty;  acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of the law; unlawful payment of dividends; and transactions from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.

         The  Registrant  has entered  into  separate  but  identical  indemnity
agreements (the "Indemnity Agreements") with each director of the Registrant and
certain  officers of the Registrant (the  "Indemnitees").  Pursuant to the terms
and  conditions of the Indemnity  Agreements,  the Registrant  indemnified  each
Indemnitee  against any amounts which he or she becomes legally obligated to pay
in  connection  with any  claim  against  him or her  based  upon any  action or
inaction  which he or she may commit,  omit or suffer while acting in his or her
capacity as a director  and/or  officer of the  Registrant or its  subsidiaries,
provided,  however,  that  Indemnitee  acted  in  good  faith  and  in a  manner
Indemnitee  reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause
to believe Indemnitee's Conduct was unlawful.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a  post-effective  amendment  to this  registration  statement  to  include  any
material  information  with respect to the plan of  distribution  not previously
disclosed  in  the  registration  statement  or  any  material  change  to  such
information in the registration statement;

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of such
securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the  initial  BONA FIDE  offering
thereof; and


                                      II-3





         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

         The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining  any  liability  under  the  Securities  Act,  each  filing  of  the
registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and,  where  applicable,  each filing of an employee  benefit plan's annual
report  pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is  incorporated  by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of such
securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the  initial  BONA FIDE  offering
thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of
the  registrant  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,   or  otherwise,  the
registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission  such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of the  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

         The undersigned hereby undertakes that:

         (1) For purposes of determining  any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the  information  omitted from the form of prospectus  filed as part of
this  registration  statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
of  prospectus  filed by the  registrant  pursuant to Rule  424(b)(1)  or (4) or
497(h)  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933  shall be  deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

         (2) For the purpose of determining  any liability  under the Securities
Act of 1933,  each  post-effective  amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating to the securities
offered  therein,  and the  offering  of such  securities  at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.


                                      II-4





                                   SIGNATURES


         Pursuant  to the  requirements  of the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the  requirements  for filing on Form S-3 and  authorized  this  Registration
Statement  to be signed on its  behalf  by the  undersigned,  in the City of Los
Angeles, State of California, on August 15, 2003.
