          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

          NOTE 1:  GENERAL:

          The accounting policies followed during the interim periods
          reported on are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
          principles, and are consistent with those applied for annual
          periods as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
          for the year ended December 31, 1994.  Other than Balance Sheet
          amounts as of December 31, 1994, all amounts contained herein are
          unaudited.

          RECLASSIFICATIONS:

          Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to
          conform to the current year presentation.

          NOTE 2:  BUSINESS ACQUISITION:

          On May 2, 1994, the Company acquired, through its wholly owned
          subsidiaries, ownership of the corporate capital of the Italian
          companies Collitex, S.r.l., Astria, S.r.l. and T.I.E., S.r.l.
          ("Collitex").  The total purchase price, net of cash acquired,
          was approximately $12.6 million, which includes the issuance of
          156,250 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $8.96 per
          share (share amounts adjusted for subsequent stock split) and
          $619 due in April 1997.  In addition, up to $1.5 million of
          additional consideration may be paid in April 1997, if the
          average earnings of the Collitex Group in the 1994-96 period
          exceeds a stipulated base level.  Such additional consideration,
          if any, would represent additional purchase price and,
          accordingly, would increase goodwill.

          On October 10, 1994, the Company acquired, through its wholly
          owned subsidiaries, Orvafin S.r.l. and its affiliates ("Orvac"),
          an Italian company.  The total purchase price, net of cash
          acquired, was $6.1 million, which includes the issuance of
          156,250 shares (share amounts adjusted for subsequent stock
          split) of the Company's common stock, valued at $8.70 per share,
          and $606 due in October 1995.

          The acquisitions of the Collitex Group and Orvac are being
          accounted for as purchases with assets acquired and liabilities
          assumed recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of
          acquisition.  The excess of the purchase price and transaction
          costs over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as
          goodwill.  Liabilities assumed include deferred income taxes
          related to differences between the basis of assets and
          liabilities (principally property, plant and equipment) for tax
          and financial reporting purposes and to certain government grants
          previously received by Collitex and Orvac which would be subject
          to Italian tax if distributed.<PAGE>

          NOTE 3:   INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE:

          On June 29, 1995, the Company invested $15.0 million in a new
          company, jointly formed by Paxar Corporation and Odyssey Partners
          L.P., which simultaneously acquired Monarch Marking Systems, Inc.
          and related companies ("Monarch") from Pitney Bowes, Inc.
          ("Pitney Bowes").  The Company's investment, which represents a
          49.5% interest, will be accounted for using the equity method. 
          The following unaudited proforma results of operations assume the
          investment and acquisition occurred at the beginning of 1994, and
          include the proforma results of the Collitex and Orvac
          acquisitions discussed in Note 2 above.  The Monarch net income
          used in these proforma results is preliminary and subject to the
          final purchase price allocation.  In the 1995 period, Monarch s
          results include $6.1 million of non-recurring charges for
          adjustments to operating items and accordingly, the proforma
          results shown below reflect the Company s share of these charges. 
          These proforma results have been prepared for comparative
          purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results
          of operations which may result in future.

          $29.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1994 to

          and export sales increased from $11.6 million (28% of total
          sales) for the three months ended September 30, 1994 to $17.1
          million (35% of total sales) for the comparable period in 1995.

          $2.3 million in 1994.  The Company's apparel identification
          products business grew 14% and its systems business grew 27% in

          ended September 30, 1995 compared to $14.1 million in the
          comparable period of 1994, an increase of 27%.  The gross profit

          Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $12.4
          million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to
          $10.0 million for the comparable period of 1994, an increase of
          25%.  As a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative
          expenses increased to 25.2% for the three months ended September 
          30, 1995 compared to 24.3% for the comparable period in 1994.

          Operating income increased to $5.5 million (11.3% of sales) for
          the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $4.2
          million (10.1% of sales) for the three months ended September 30,
          1994.

          Equity in net income of affiliate was $198,000 for the three
          months ended September 30, 1995 (see Note 3).

          Interest expense, net increased to $551,000 for the three months
          ended September 30, 1995 compared to $323,000 for September 30,
          1994.  The increase is attributable to higher levels of bank
          borrowings arising from the $15.0 million investment in
          affiliate, on June 29, 1995.

          Income before taxes increased to $5.2 million (10.5% of sales)
          for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared with
          $3.8 million (9.3% of sales) for the three months ended September 
          30, 1994.

          The effective income tax rate was 30% for the three months ended
          September 30, 1995 compared to 29% for the three months ended
          September 30, 1994.  The overall effective tax rate is impacted
          by many factors including different statutory rates on foreign
          income.  The lower rate is mainly attributable to lower rates on
          income derived from foreign sources, particularly from Hong Kong
          and in Italy where the companies acquired in 1994 receive special
          tax abatement incentives which expire from 1995 through 1999.

          Net income increased in the 1995 period to $3.6 million ($0.16
          per share) from $2.7 million ($0.13 per share) in the 1994
          period, an increase of 33%.

          ended September 30, 1995 compared to $649,000 for September 30,

          The effective income tax rate was 31% for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1995 compared to 33% for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1994.  The overall effective tax rate is impacted
          by many factors including different statutory rates on foreign
          income.  The lower rate is mainly attributable to lower rates on
          income derived from foreign sources, particularly from Hong Kong
          and in Italy where the companies acquired in 1994 received
          special tax abatement incentives which expire from 1995 through
          1999.

          Net income increased in the 1995 period to $12.0 million ($0.53
          per share) from $8.3 million ($0.38 per share) in the 1994
          period, an increase of 44%.

          The Company invested $15.0 million on June 29, 1995 in a new
          company jointly formed by Paxar Corporation and Odyssey Partners
          L.P., which acquired Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. from Pitney
          Bowes (see Note 3).  On May 2, 1994, the Company acquired
          Collitex, S.r.l. and Astria S.r.l. (the Collitex Group) for a
          total purchase price of approximately $12.4 million (see Note 2). 
          The Company intends to continue its growth, in part by
          acquisitions of other complementary or related businesses, and
          believes that further acquisitions outside the United States
          would be of important strategic value.
