     Nashua, N.H., March 15, 2006 - Nashua Corporation (NASDAQ: NSHA) announced today that Thomas G. Brooker will succeed Andrew B.

Mr. Brooker will be nominated for election and Mr. Albert will be nominated for re-election to serve on Nashua Board of Directors at the Company’s Annual Meeting to be held in Nashua, New Hampshire, on May 1, 2006.

     Prior to his selection as Nashua’s next CEO and President, Mr. Brooker, 47, served as the Group President of Forms, Labels and Office Products for Moore Wallace, a company he joined as a sales representative in 1981. Throughout his career at Moore Wallace, he held a number of positions, including Vice President of the Office Products Group and Executive Vice President of Sales. Moore Wallace is a subsidiary of R.R. Donnelley & Sons (NYSE: RRD).

     Commenting on Mr. Brooker’s appointment, Mr. Albert said, “We are excited that Tom will be joining Nashua in May.

I am proud of Nashua’s accomplishments over the past five years. In essence, the Nashua team turned around a struggling enterprise to create a company poised for strong performance in terms of operations and service, financials and shareholder returns.
