                              FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


NOCOPI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Signs 3 Year License for the Direct Mail Industry with
Mailwell Envelope.

West Conshohocken, Pa. June 17th, 2002 - PRNewswire. Nocopi Technologies, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: NNUP), a well-known company in the business of developing
solutions against counterfeiting, product diversion, document security, and
authentication via patented technologies (including invisible inks, color
changing inks, reactive thread and document security paper products), and
Mailwell Envelope, a division of Mailwell Inc., are pleased to announce the
signing of a 3 year license agreement for applications of Nocopi's Rub & Reveal
color changing inks in the direct mail industry.

The relationship allows Mailwell Envelope access to Nocopi's patented Rub &
Reveal color changing ink technology to be utilized on direct mail envelopes.
The technology will permit Mailwell to offer its direct mail customers a unique
value-add solution for the direct mail industry.

"Nocopi Technologies is excited by the overall business potential this new deal
brings to the table. We look forward to the opportunities and resources that
Mailwell Envelope is able to bring to bear as the largest envelope producer in
the United States, and the goals our mutual growth plans will bring us in this
market space. In addition to expanding the market presence of our patent
protected inks, our relationship with Mailwell Envelope opens an entirely new
vertical market and applications for our technologies," said Brent Earlewine, VP
of Worldwide Sales for Nocopi.

The license agreement will also allow for the re-use of the trademarked Rub &
Reveal product name in the marketing of direct mail envelope applications by
Mailwell's sales force and marketing department. More information can be found
on Nocopi's completely re-vamped web site at www.Nocopi.com.

Mailwell Envelope, a division of Mail-Well, Inc. (NYSE: MWL), until 2001, had
specialized in four growing multibillion-dollar market segments in the highly
fragmented printing industry: commercial printing, envelopes, labels and printed
office products. Currently, Mailwell Envelope manufacturers over 100 million
envelopes per day. Mail-Well currently has approximately 15,000 employees and
more than 140 printing facilities and numerous sales offices throughout North
America and the United Kingdom. The previously announced strategic plan will
result in the company concentrating on its envelope and commercial print
segments, where already it holds leading positions. These segments achieved
sales of $1.6 billion in 2001. The other segments will be exited. The company is
headquartered in Englewood, Colorado.




Nocopi Technologies, Inc. (NNUP.OB) was founded in 1984 and is based in West
Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The Company is engaged in the business of developing
solutions against counterfeiting and product diversion, and for document
security and authentication via patented technologies (including invisible inks,
color changing inks, reactive thread and document security paper products).
