 markets
in which we compete, further increasing competition in the already competitive apparel industry.

Despite
the intense competition, we believe we are well-positioned to compete effectively in the apparel labels and the apparel trim products
industry and our strengths will distinguish us from our competitors. In addition, we believe that (i) our position and competitive
advantage over some market players, such as our strong relationship with apparel brands and manufacturers and our strong product development
and technical capabilities and (ii) our commitment to quality control have placed us in a position to maintain our status as a core
supplier for many apparel brands. Our focus on sustainable practices, innovative materials and products, and collaborative partnerships
with core customers allows us to successfully compete in the industry.

We
have a long history of manufacturing and exporting apparel and apparel-related goods, which has contributed to a well-established client
base. We believe that the key competition factors in our industry are as follows:

  (i)      Quality      

Market
players in the apparel label and packaging printing sector face global competition. Global players are expanding and building regional
manufacturing plants, and regional players are expanding cross-borders to achieve economies of scale. In such a competitive market, high
quality performance and on-time delivery service are essential to stand out in the industry.

  (ii)      Strong               

Brand
owners value historical partnerships highly when selecting their vendors. The key to maintaining a strong client relationship is to meet
a client’s changing demands and to offer consistently high quality with a low error record. To achieve that, manufacturers have
to consistently invest in the latest machinery and maintain a skilled and well-trained workforce so as to ensure high quality and strengthen
client relationships.

  (iii)      Cost        

Rising
production costs have prompted manufacturers to improve cost efficiency in production. In recent years, this has included moving plants
to lower cost regions in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, and expanding production bases to achieve economies of scale and lower marginal
costs.

Competitive Strengths

believe the following competitive strengths differentiate us from our competitors:
