               NASHUA CORPORATION ANNOUNCES ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES

            COMPANY REALIGNS MANAGEMENT TEAM AND REPORTING STRUCTURE

     NASHUA, N.H., June 8, 1999 - Nashua Corporation (NYSE: NSH) today announced
     the resignation of Joseph I. Gonzalez-Rivas, Vice President of the Company
     and President of the Imaging Supplies Division. Mr. Rivas is joining World
     Power Technology in Edison, New Jersey as its President and CEO.
     Separately, Gene P. Pache, Vice President of Nashua and President of the
     Company's Label Products Division, has left the Company for personal
     reasons.

     Gerald G. Garbacz, Nashua's Chairman, President and CEO, stated, "Both Gene
     and Joe have made important contributions to Nashua and we wish them well
     in the future. Each has assembled strong, experienced management teams that
     will provide Nashua with a solid foundation for growth. We are confident
     that the executive teams in place today will continue to accelerate the
     progress we have made to transform Nashua into a stronger, more agile
     competitor that is focused on attractive opportunities in niche specialty
     imaging markets. Given our accomplishments to date, the activities
     currently underway, and the outlook for our markets, we expect that 1999
     will be a year of solid growth for Nashua."

     As a result of today's announcement, Nashua has streamlined the Company's
     management team and reporting structure. Donna DiGiovine, General Manager
     of the Imaging Supplies' Toner and Developer Business, and Frank Faticanti,
     General Manager of the Imaging Supplies' Remanufactured Laser Toner
     Cartridge business will report directly to Mr. Garbacz. In addition, the
     Label Products' management team will report to Mr. Garbacz until the
     Company completes its search for a new president.

     Ms. DiGiovine, who was recently promoted to the position of General Manager
     of the Toner and Developer Business, joined the Company in July 1996 as
     Manager of Consumer Product Marketing for the Imaging Supplies Division.

     marketing, sales support and customer service positions at Avery Dennison.
     Ms. DiGiovine has a Bachelor of Science degree from Babson College.
