FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

   WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1999

                Signs Letters of Intent to Acquire Four Companies

                       Announces Stock Repurchase Program

      PALM BEACH, Fla., August 24, 1998 - Workflow Management, Inc. (NASDAQ:
WORK) today announced that revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 ended
July 25, 1998 increased 10.1% to $90.5 million over the comparable quarter last
year. Workflow reported operating income, before one time charges, of $5.3
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, as compared to operating income,
before one time charges, of $5.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and
$5.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 on a pro forma basis. Net
income for the first fiscal quarter was $0.16 per diluted share on a pro forma
basis, as compared to net income of $0.18 per diluted share in last year's
comparable quarter, assuming a comparable number of shares outstanding. As
expected, net income was impacted by higher interest expense and corporate
overhead as a stand-alone company. Workflow Management completed the spin-off
from U.S. Office Products Company on June 9, 1998.

      Workflow also announced today that it has signed letters of intent to
purchase four companies for an aggregate purchase price of $13.5 million. At
closing, the combined companies are expected to contribute annualized revenues
of approximately $22 million, annualized EBIT of approximately $3.1 million and
annualized earnings per share of approximately $0.05 per share. These accretive
acquisitions will increase Workflow's geographic footprint into one new market
and strengthen existing operations in two strategic markets. The transactions
include three document distribution companies, based in Puerto Rico, New York
City and Los Angeles, a new market. The fourth company is an envelope
manufacturer, based in New York City, which will further strengthen Workflow's
position as the leading manufacturer of envelopes in that region. The
acquisitions are expected to close by the end of September 1998.

      Tom D'Agostino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Today's
announcements reflect our success in implementing both our organic and
consolidation growth strategies, as well as our long-term commitment to building
shareholder value. In less than three months since our spin-off from U.S. Office
Products, we are beginning to reap the benefits of a more focused and aggressive
management effort. Our first quarter financial results reflect our continued
success in cross-selling our multi-platform businesses, integrating recent
acquisitions and building customized outsourcing programs."

      Steve Gibson, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our first quarter
results reflect strength across all of our product lines, which are performing
at or above our expectations. We are very pleased with the increase in revenue
and the operating income growth that each of our units has achieved. As
expected, our bottom line results were impacted by higher interest expense and
corporate overhead."

      Mr. D'Agostino continued, "Our announced acquisitions will strengthen and
expand our product lines, while contributing to our revenue and profit growth.
At closing, all three document distribution companies will be integrated into
GetSmart, our Internet-based transaction and information system. Leveraging this
proprietary technology, we foresee tremendous cross-selling opportunities,
particularly in the outsourcing industry. Internet sales in our product
distribution line now approach 50% of our revenues. Our technology will also
support our efforts to improve operating margins through the consolidation of
operations, improved purchasing programs and the implementation of cost
controls. With a strong financial position and solid organic growth, we will
continue to pursue accretive acquisitions in the highly fragmented graphic arts
industry."

      Workflow also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a
share repurchase program of up to two million shares of its common stock.

      "Reflecting our long-term commitment to increasing shareholder value, we
are implementing a share repurchase program," stated Mr. D'Agostino. "We do not
believe Workflow's current share price adequately reflects the value of our
proprietary technology, integrated manufacturing and distribution infrastructure
and growth prospects. As a result, we believe that the repurchase is a good
investment and is in the best interests of the company and our shareholders.
Demand for our services remains strong and we are confident that we will
continue to increase the value of our company through the aggressive
implementation of our growth plans."

     calculated using the common shares outstanding during the period for U.S.
     Office Products Company ("USOP") prior to the distribution of its shares
     under the USOP strategic restructuring plan implemented June 9, 1998. If
     the number of common shares outstanding for USOP during such period were
