PROXY STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

        The accompanying proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of Consolidated Graphics, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Company"), for use only at the annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the Hyatt Regency Houston, 1200 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, on Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 5:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time, and at any adjournments thereof. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy will first be given or sent to shareholders is June 26, 2003.

        Each proxy executed and returned by a shareholder may be revoked at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by filing a written instrument revoking it with the Secretary at the Company's executive offices, by execution and return of a later-dated proxy, or by appearing at the Annual Meeting and making arrangements to vote in person. The executive offices of the Company are located at 5858 Westheimer, Suite 200, Houston, Texas 77057.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN UNDER PROXY

        Proxies in the accompanying form will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon and, where no specifications are given, such proxies will be voted FOR the election of the two nominees named herein to serve as Class I directors and if one or more of such nominees should become unavailable for election for any reason, then FOR the election of any substitute nominee that the Board of Directors of the Company may propose.

        In the discretion of the proxy holders, the proxies will also be voted FOR or AGAINST such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting. Management of the Company did not receive any shareholder proposals for inclusion in this proxy by the date prescribed for such inclusion and is not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting.

RECORD DATE AND VOTING SECURITIES

        The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on June 9, 2003 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournments thereof. The issued and outstanding stock of the Company as of the close of business on June 9, 2003, consisted of 13,350,035 shares of Common Stock, each of which is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Under the Company's Restated By-Laws, as amended to date, and in accordance with the Texas Business Corporation Act, the holders of a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

        If there are insufficient shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting to constitute a quorum, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned until such time and place as is determined by

1

a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies by the Company. Proxies given pursuant to this solicitation and not revoked will be voted at any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting in the manner set forth above.

        The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at such meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the election of directors. Abstentions and "broker nonvotes" (i.e., shares held by a broker or nominee as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote) will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. In determining the results of voting on the election of directors, abstentions and broker nonvotes will have the same effect as a vote against the nominated directors, because approval of the directors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at such meeting at which a quorum is present.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

        To the Company's knowledge, the following table sets forth as of the close of business on June 9, 2003, information with respect to beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by (i) the executive officers of the Company, (ii) each of the directors and nominees, (iii) all persons known to the Company to be the beneficial owners of 5% or more thereof and (iv) all executive officers and directors as a group.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

        Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file with the SEC and The New York Stock Exchange initial reports of ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual statements of beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that during fiscal 2003 all of its directors and executive officers complied on a timely basis with all applicable filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTORS

        Pursuant to the Company's Restated By-Laws, as amended to date, the Board of Directors of the Company is currently comprised of six directors and is divided into three classes, with each class serving a three-year term. At each annual meeting of shareholders, one class of directors is elected for a full term of three years to succeed that class of directors whose terms are expiring. The Board of Directors currently consists of Larry J. Alexander, Brady F. Carruth, Gary L. Forbes, James H. Limmer, Hugh N. West, M.D. and Joe R. Davis, with Messrs. Alexander and Carruth constituting the Class I directors, Messrs. Forbes and Limmer constituting the Class II directors and Mr. Davis and Dr. West constituting the Class III

3

directors. The term of the Class I directors expires at the Annual Meeting. The terms of the other two classes of directors expire at the 2004 (Class II directors) and 2005 (Class III directors) annual meetings of shareholders.

        On December 2, 2003, Clarence C. Comer, a Class II director, resigned from the Company's Board of Directors. In accordance with the Company's Restated By-Laws, as amended to date, requiring that classes of directors be as nearly equal in number as possible, Mr. Limmer resigned as a Class III director and was immediately appointed and elected by the Board of Directors as a Class II director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Comer's resignation.

        Unless contrary instructions are set forth in the proxy card, it is intended that the persons named in the proxy will vote all shares of Common Stock represented by the proxy for the election of the nominees listed below as the Class I directors, each of whom is presently a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. The two Class I directors elected at the Annual Meeting will each serve for a term expiring on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders in 2006 or until his successor has been elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date, do not permit cumulative voting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock held by holders of shares of Common Stock, present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present, is required to elect directors.

        The Board of Directors has appointed a Nominating Committee to evaluate candidates and recommend nominees for election to the Company's Board of Directors at each annual meeting of the Company's shareholders. The Nominating Committee determined that the election of Messrs. Alexander and Carruth as the Class I directors of the Company is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders and the Board of Directors confirmed the recommendation of the Nominating Committee. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THEREFORE RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE NOMINEES, AND PROXIES THAT ARE RETURNED BUT NOT MARKED TO THE CONTRARY WILL BE SO VOTED. Should the candidacy of Messrs. Alexander and Carruth for any reason be withdrawn or any such nominee becomes unavailable for election, the Board of Directors of the Company may designate another nominee, in which case the persons acting under the duly executed proxies will vote for the election of the replacement nominee. Management is currently unaware of any circumstances likely to render any nominee unavailable for election. A shareholder may, in the manner set forth in the enclosed proxy card, instruct the proxy holder not to vote that shareholder's shares for one or more of the named nominees.

        The following sets forth information concerning each of the nominees for election to the Board of Directors and each continuing member of the Board of Directors including the name, age, principal occupation or employment during at least the past five years and the period during which such person has served as a director of the Company.

Options are "in-the-money" if the closing market price of the Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of the options. The value of unexercised options represents the difference between the exercise price of such options and the closing market price of the Common Stock on March 31, 2003, which was $16.81.

INCENTIVE PLAN

        The Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company have previously approved the adoption of the Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the Incentive Plan, as subsequently amended, employees of the Company and directors who are not serving on the Compensation Committee are eligible to receive awards consisting of stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARS"), restricted or nonrestricted stock, cash or any combination of the foregoing. To date, long-term incentive compensation has been awarded only in the form of stock options. Stock options granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan may either be incentive stock options within the meaning and subject to the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or nonqualified stock options. An aggregate of 2,863,809 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan as of March 31, 2003. Awards covering 1,973,849 of these shares, with a weighted average exercise price of $24.67, were outstanding at April 30, 2003, with 889,990 being available for future awards.

        The Compensation Committee administers the Incentive Plan and, subject to the provisions thereof, is authorized by the Board of Directors to (i) determine the type or types of awards made to each participant and the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each award, such as exercise price, vesting period, expiration date and other material conditions, (ii) interpret the Incentive Plan, (iii) grant waivers of restrictions thereunder and (iv) adopt such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or appropriate in keeping with the objectives of the Incentive Plan provided that the provisions of Section 422 of the Code governing the issuance of incentive stock options shall not be overridden.

AGREEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

        Mr. Davis has entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company through July 25, 2005. Mr. Colville has entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company to serve as the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial and Accounting Officer and Secretary of the Company through March 1, 2007.

Under the terms of his agreement, Mr. Colville was granted an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock and is entitled to receive an annual salary of $250,000 and an annual option grant to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock. Messrs. Davis and Colville are also eligible under the terms of their agreements for an annual bonus determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The agreements also contain restrictions on Messrs. Davis' and Colville's ability to compete or interfere with the business of the Company for certain periods in certain circumstances

        The Company has entered into Change in Control Agreements with Messrs. Davis and Colville. Under the terms of their agreements, if at any time during the two-year period following a change in control of the Company either of the above named individuals is terminated without cause or resigns under certain circumstances, then such terminated or resigning individual would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to three times, in the case of Mr. Davis, or two times, in the case of Mr. Colville, the sum of his highest annual salary plus his highest bonus received prior to such time and would continue to receive any employee welfare benefits he was receiving prior to such time for the remaining portion of the two-year period following a change in control. Additionally, any unvested options to purchase shares of common stock held by Messrs. Davis and Colville would become fully vested and immediately exercisable upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

        Each independent director is paid $250 for each meeting attended and each action taken by unanimous consent of the Board of Directors or committees thereof. Directors are also reimbursed for any expenses incurred in attending such meetings. Directors are also eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

        During fiscal 2003, no member of the Compensation Committee was or formerly had been an officer or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates. Also, during fiscal 2003, no executive officer of the Company served on the compensation committee of the board of directors of any other entity which employed as an executive officer, or was otherwise affiliated with, one of the members of the Company's Board of Directors. During fiscal 2003, the Compensation Committee at various times consisted of Messrs. Alexander, Comer, Forbes, Limmer and Dr. West.

REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

        The Compensation Committee reviews compensation of directors and executive officers and also administers the Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee consists entirely of independent directors.

        At current compensation levels, the Compensation Committee does not expect Internal Revenue Service regulations regarding maximum deductibility of executive compensation to have any application to the Company.

        Compensation Philosophy and Components.    The Company's executive compensation philosophy is to employ, retain and reward executives capable of leading the Company in creating and preserving strong financial performance, increasing the assets of the Company through acquisitions, positioning the

9

Company's assets and business operations for long-term growth opportunities, and enhancing shareholder value. The executive compensation program is intended to provide an overall level of compensation that the Compensation Committee believes, based on its own judgment and experience, is competitive with levels of compensation provided by companies deemed by the Compensation Committee to be comparable for compensation purposes. The companies used for comparisons of compensation levels are not necessarily the same companies included within the index reflected in the Stock Price Performance Graph because certain of those companies are not comparable with the Company or its subsidiaries for compensation purposes due to their size and/or operating philosophy. The companies which the Company considers to be comparable for compensation purposes are generally publicly traded companies of similar size and growth strategy. The primary components of the Company's executive compensation program are annual cash compensation (salary and bonuses) and long-term incentive compensation (stock options). Executive officer cash compensation is maintained at levels that the Compensation Committee believes, based upon its own judgment and experience, are fair and appropriate in the circumstances and competitive in the marketplace. Stock option grants are deemed by the Compensation Committee to be an appropriate form of long-term incentive compensation necessary to encourage the continuing commitment of the executive officers to the future financial success and growth of the Company in direct alignment with the interests of the shareholders, and to also be fair and appropriate in the circumstances and competitive in the marketplace.

        Chief Executive Officer Compensation.    In July 2000, the Compensation Committee approved a five-year employment agreement between the Company and Joe R. Davis, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. In fiscal 2003, Mr. Davis was compensated pursuant to this employment agreement. The Compensation Committee did not award any bonus compensation to Mr. Davis during fiscal 2003.

        Other Executive Officer Compensation.    The Compensation Committee receives from Mr. Davis a recommendation regarding compensation of the Company's other executive officers. While this recommendation is primarily based on his subjective determination and evaluation, the Compensation Committee has established guidelines for Mr. Davis' consideration in making his recommendation. These include his perception of their respective performance and capability, the potential impact of the individual on the Company, the executive's performance as a team member, the skills and experiences required by the position and the overall performance of the Company. No one of the above factors is considered to be more important than the others. In fiscal 2003, Mr. Colville was compensated pursuant to a five-year employment agreement previously approved by the Compensation Committee and entered into by the Company in March 2002. Mr. Colville was not awarded bonus compensation in fiscal 2003.

The Compensation Committee members:        Larry J. Alexander        Hugh N. West, M.D.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

        For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, KPMG LLP served as the Company's independent auditors. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. While the Audit Committee has not yet selected the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004, the Company anticipates that KPMG LLP will again be selected for this purpose.

Changes in our Independent Auditors

        During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through the effective date of KPMG LLP's appointment, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen LLP's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in connection with its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as such term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

        During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through the effective date of KPMG LLP's appointment, the Company did not consult KPMG LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Audit Fees

        The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, and for the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for that fiscal year, were $250,000.

Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees

        KPMG LLP did not perform any financial information system design or implementation services for the Company during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.

All Other Fees

        The aggregate fees billed for all other professional services rendered by KPMG LLP for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 were $30,000.
