    Intertape Polymer Group Inc. Announces Stock Repurchase Program


Montreal, Quebec and Bradenton, Florida - November 5, 2004 - Intertape
Polymer Group Inc. ("Intertape") (NYSE, TSX: ITP) announced today that
it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to repurchase
some of its common shares ("Common Shares") outstanding on the Toronto
Stock Exchange, beginning on November 9, 2004 further to a normal
course issuer bid (the "Bid").

Under the Bid, Intertape intends to repurchase for cancellation up to
2,064,283 Common Shares.  This represents approximately 5% of the
41,285,661 currently issued and outstanding Common Shares. These
purchases shall be made in accordance with applicable regulations over
a maximum period of 12 months beginning on November 9, 2004 and ending
on November 8, 2005. Intertape has not repurchased any of its Common
Shares under a normal course issuer bid within the past 12 months.

Intertape believes that the purchase by it of its own Common Shares
may, in appropriate circumstances, be a responsible investment of
available funds on hand.
