  ENNIS, INC. REPORTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON YEAR-END RESULTS


     Midlothian,  Texas  --  Ennis,  Inc.  (NYSE:  EBF)  today  is
supplementing the information contained in yesterday's  report  on
year-end  results with the following information and inclusion  of
the year-end summary financial statements.

     To  clarify the information regarding the costs incurred  for
compliance  with  the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,  the  $1,500,000
(pre-tax) occurred over the last three quarters of the fiscal year
in  relatively  equal amounts, and was not entirely absorbed  into
the fourth quarter.

     To  assist investors in their understanding of the results of
the  Alstyle Apparel operation, it is important to know  that  not
only  was  the  fourth  quarter the  low  point  in  their  annual
operating cycle, but also that Alstyle Apparel's operating margins
were  lower than normal as a result of higher costs of goods  sold
than  otherwise  would have been expected.   Alstyle  Apparel  was
required   to   account  for  its  finished  goods  inventory   at
acquisition  date  at  the expected selling price  less  costs  to
dispose  and a reasonable selling profit as required by  Financial
Accounting  Standard No. 141.  The adjustment  totaled  $1,225,000
and  proportionally  effected cost  of  sales  as  finished  goods
inventories were sold during the fourth quarter.  The increase  in
cost of sales for the quarter on a pre-tax basis was $1,063,000 or
$.03 per fully diluted share after income taxes.

     Further,  to  the  statement in the April  27  press  release
related  to  the  Company's  position  that  the  Alstyle  Apparel
transaction  would  be accretive to earnings  in  the  first  full
years'  financials,  the Company continues  to  believe  that  the
information  provided  to  shareholders  in  the  June  25,   2004
announcement   of  the  Alstyle  Apparel  merger   are   accurate.
Additionally,  the Company believes the process of integration  of
Alstyle Apparel is not only moving forward at a satisfactory rate,
but  is  ahead  of  schedule, and that the financial  benefits  of
integration are significant.

Forward-looking Statements
Statements  made  in  this  release concerning  the  Company's  or
management's intentions, expectations, or predictions about future
results  or  events  are "forward-looking statements"  within  the
meaning  of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of  1995.
Such  statements  reflect  management's  current  expectations  or
beliefs,  and  are subject to risks and uncertainties  that  could
cause  actual  results or events to vary from stated expectations,
which variations could be material and adverse. Factors that could
produce  such  a  variation include, but are not limited  to,  the
following:  the  inherent unreliability of earnings,  revenue  and
cash  flow predictions due to numerous factors, many of which  are
beyond  the Company's control; developments in the demand for  the
Company's  products and services; relationships with the Company's
major  customers  and suppliers; unanticipated delays,  costs  and
expenses inherent in the development and marketing of new products
and   services;  risks  and  uncertainties  associated  with   the
successful  integration of the acquisitions  of  Alstyle  Apparel,
Crabar/GBF,  Inc. and Royal Business Forms, Inc.;  the  impact  of
governmental  laws and regulations; and competitive  factors.  The
Company's cash dividends are declared by the board of directors on
a  current basis, and therefore may be subject to change.  Because
of  such  uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place  undue
reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak  only  as
of April 28, 2005.
