NASHUA RECEIVES NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE NOTICE
REGARDING REVISED SHAREHOLDER EQUITY LISTING REQUIREMENTS

     NASHUA, N.H., August 4, 2005 — Nashua Corporation (NYSE: NSH) announced today that it received formal notice from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on August 1, 2005 that Nashua currently does not meet certain revised NYSE continued listing criteria that now include a requirement that listed companies have a minimum of $75 million in stockholders’ equity and an average market capitalization of at least $75 million over a 30-day period. Beginning on August 8, 2005, the NYSE will disseminate on the consolidated tape a ‘.BC’ indicator to identify the Company as non-compliant and also will identify it as non-compliant on its web site.

Nashua’s stockholders’ equity was $65.8 million as of July 1, 2005, and its market capitalization, based on 6.2 million shares of common stock outstanding and a $8.35 per share closing price of Nashua’s common stock on July 29, 2005, was approximately $51.8 million.

     “The NYSE notification simply means that it has reset the bar in terms of the minimum size for companies that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We are reviewing our available alternatives, which include either working with NYSE or listing or quotation on another national exchange or market,” said Andrew Albert, Nashua’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our listing status has no impact on our operations, financial status or on our future prospects.”

     Under the new NYSE rules, Nashua has 45 days to provide a plan to NYSE to become compliant with the more stringent requirements within 18 months or face possible delisting. In the event Nashua fails to meet the new listing requirements during this time period, NYSE would then commence delisting procedures for Nashua’s common stock.
