Talon International

Talon has clawed its way to the top, with some thread, trim, and hang tags. Formerly Tag It Pacific, it develops brand-identity programs for manufacturers of fashion apparel and accessories and for specialty retailers and mass merchants. Talon's "trim packages" include items such as thread, zippers, labels, buttons, and hangers, as well as printed marketing materials (hang tags, bar-coded tags, pocket flashers, size stickers) designed to promote and sell the items. It also distributes its Talon-brand metal and synthetic zippers and other apparel components, such as waistbands, under its TEKFIT name. Its more than 800 customers include Abercrombie & Fitch, Express, PVH, and Victoria's Secret.
