FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ennis Acquires Certain Assets of B&D Litho, Inc. in Arizona
and Skyline Business Forms in Colorado

Ennis expands its business forms production into Arizona

     Midlothian, Texas — October 8, 2007 — Ennis, Inc. (NYSE: EBF), a manufacturer of printed business products & apparel headquartered in Midlothian, Texas, has acquired certain assets of B&D Litho, Inc., headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and certain assets and related real estate of Skyline Business Forms, operating in Denver, Colorado through its wholly owned subsidiaries. The acquisition of B&D Litho, Inc. did not include the acquisition of B&D Litho California, Inc., which has commercial printing operations located in Ontario, California. No significant liabilities were assumed in the transactions and the transaction closed on October 5, 2007.

     The combined sales of the purchased operations were $25 million during the most recent twelve month period. The Phoenix operation will utilize the trade name of B&D Litho of Arizona focusing on business forms. The Denver operations will continue to utilize the Skyline Business Forms trade name. Skyline is one of the largest manufacturers of business forms in the Rocky Mountain marketplace. B&D Litho of Arizona will lease its facilities in the Phoenix, Arizona area and an Ennis subsidiary has acquired the facilities in the Denver, Colorado area. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Ennis’ earnings in the first full year of operations and will add additional medium and long run multi-part forms, laser cut sheets, jumbo rolls and mailer products sold through the indirect sales (distributorship) marketplace.

     Keith Walters, Chairman, President and CEO of Ennis, said, “Adding both the B&D Litho of Arizona and Skyline Business Forms brand names to the ever growing list of companies in the Ennis family is a very exciting opportunity for us. With these acquisitions we take another positive step forward in the continuing growth and consolidation of the forms business into Ennis. These acquisitions give us a new manufacturing presence in Arizona and allow us to supplement our current Block Denver envelope and forms business with the Skyline business in Denver. The transaction will add to the growth in the forms business that has placed Ennis among the top players in the forms and printed products arena and continue to serve our 40,000 independent distributors and printers who comprise the largest share of the forms market-place. It is great news for our shareholders, our customers and our employees.”

     This news release contains statements relating to future results of the acquired company including statements (i) that the transaction will be accretive to the combined company’s earnings in the first year of operations, excluding the impact of transaction-related charges, (ii) as well as other anticipated, believed, planned, forecasted, expected, targeted and estimated results and the company’s outlook concerning future results, that are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and any such forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the following cautionary statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and are based on current expectations and involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.
