Ladies and Gentlemen:

         You have requested our opinion with respect to the public  offering and
sale by you, Cunningham Graphics  International,  Inc., a New Jersey corporation
(the  "Company"),  pursuant  to  a  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-1  (No.
333-46541)(the  "Registration  Statement")  under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), of a maximum of 115,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Common
Stock").

         We have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified
to our  satisfaction,  of such  documents and corporate and public records as we
deem necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. With respect to
such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures appearing on
all documents presented to us as originals,  and the conformity to the originals
of all  documents  presented  to us as  conformed or  reproduced  copies.  Where
factual matters relevant to such opinion were not independently established,  we
have relied upon certificates of appropriate state and local officials, and upon
certificates of executive  officers and responsible  employees and agents of the
Company.

         Based upon the  foregoing,  it is our opinion that the Common Stock has
been  duly  and  validly  authorized  and when  sold,  paid  for and  issued  as
contemplated by the  Registration  Statement will be duly and validly issued and
fully paid and nonassessable.
