To Our Clients:

    Enclosed for your consideration is an Offer to Purchase, dated April 20,
2001 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal (the
"Letter of Transmittal," which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may
be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the
"Offer") relating to the third party tender offer by Dudley Acquisition Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Sub") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Illinois Tool
Works Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), to purchase all of the
outstanding shares ("Shares") of common stock, par value $.01 per share of
Foilmark, Inc. (the "Company") at a price of $6.36 per Share (the "Offer
Price"), net to the seller in cash, less any required withholding of taxes and
without the payment of any interest, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer.

    WE ARE THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF SHARES HELD BY US FOR YOUR ACCOUNT. THE
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS FURNISHED TO YOU FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY AND CANNOT
BE USED BY YOU TO TENDER SHARES HELD BY US FOR YOUR ACCOUNT. A TENDER OF SUCH
SHARES CAN BE MADE ONLY BY US AS THE HOLDER OF RECORD AND PURSUANT TO YOUR
INSTRUCTIONS.

    Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish to have us
tender on your behalf any or all of the Shares held by us for your account, in
accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer.

    Your attention is directed to the following:

    1.  The Offer Price is $6.36 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without
interest and less any required withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Offer.

    2.  The Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares of the Company.

    3.  The Offer is being made pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated as of April 10, 2001, by and among Parent, the Company and Sub
(the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for
the making of the Offer by Sub. The Merger Agreement further provides that Sub
will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger") following the completion
of the Offer and promptly after satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions.
The Company will continue as the surviving corporation after the Merger and will
become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

    4.  The Board of Directors of the Company has (i) determined that each of
the Offer and the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests, of the
stockholders of the Company and (ii) approved and

adopted the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and
resolved to recommend acceptance of the Offer by the stockholders of the Company
and approval and adoption by the stockholders of the Company, if necessary, of
the Merger Agreement.

    5.  The Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York
City time, on May 17, 2001, unless the Offer is extended.

    6.  Tendering stockholders will not be obligated to pay any commissions or
fees to any broker, dealer or other person or, except as set forth in
Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal, stock transfer taxes with respect to
the transfer and sale of Shares to Sub or to its order pursuant to the Offer.

    7.  The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (1) there being
validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer Shares
representing a majority of the total outstanding voting securities of the
Company on a fully-diluted basis after giving effect to the exercise, conversion
or termination of all options, warrants, rights and securities exercisable or
convertible into such voting securities and (2) the applicable waiting period
(and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976, as amended, shall have terminated or expired and any consents,
approvals and filings under any foreign antitrust law, the absence of which
would prohibit the purchase of all Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, shall
have been obtained or made prior to the acceptance of Shares pursuant to the
Offer. The Offer also is subject to certain other terms and conditions.

    If you wish to have us tender any or all of the Shares held by us for your
account, please instruct us by completing, executing and returning to us the
instruction form contained in this letter. If you authorize a tender of your
Shares, all your Shares will be tendered unless otherwise specified in such
instruction form. Your instructions should be forwarded to us in ample time to
permit us to submit a tender on your behalf on or prior to the expiration of the
Offer.
