FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

              JOSTENS ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY TENDER OFFER RESULTS;
           COMPANY EXPECTS TO BUY MORE THAN 7 MILLION SHARES AT $24

    MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1, 1995 - Jostens Inc. (NYSE: JOS) said today that, based
on a preliminary count, it expects to purchase 7,011,437 shares of its common 
stock for $24 per share, the maximum allowed under the terms of a Modified Dutch
Auction tender offer that expired this morning.

    The number of shares expected to be purchased includes 3,041,744 shares 
tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery, the company said.

    The preliminary count by Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., depositary for the 
offer, indicated that 9,217,107 shares were tendered and not withdrawn at or 
below the $24 purchase price, which was selected by the company. As a result of 
the oversubscription, the number of shares actually purchased from each 
tendering shareholder will be prorated. The preliminary proration factor is 76.1
percent.

    Last month, Jostens said it would purchase up to 6.1 million shares at a 
price ranging from $21.50 to $24.50. Jostens is exercising its right to 
increase the number of shares purchased to the maximum permitted by the offer, 
which expired at 8 a.m. EDT.

    The number of shares to be purchased and the purchase price are subject to 
final verification that all shares tendered and not withdrawn have been properly
delivered. Payment for shares accepted for purchase will be made as soon as 
practicable. All shares tendered and not purchased by the company will be 
returned promptly to shareholders.

    The shares expected to be purchased represent 15.4 percent of the 45.5 
million shares outstanding immediately prior to the offer. After purchasing the 
shares, Jostens will have about 38.5 million shares outstanding.

                                    -more-

JOSTENS TO PURCHASE MORE THAN 7 MILLION SHARES.../2


    Over the last two years, the company has divested businesses that no longer 
fit its strategic direction, including the sale of the Jostens Learning business
in June. Jostens is funding the share repurchase from its cash balance and from 
short-term borrowings.

    Minneapolis-based Jostens is a leading provider of products and services 
that help people celebrate achievement, reward performance, recognize service 
and commemorate experiences throughout their lives. The company had fiscal 1995 
sales of $665 million.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


                      JOSTENS COMPLETES SELF-TENDER OFFER
                  WITH PURCHASE OF MORE THAN 7 MILLION SHARES

     MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 15, 1995 -- Jostens Inc. (NYSE: JOS) said today it 
completed the purchase of 7,011,108 shares of its common stock for $24 per 
share, the maximum number of shares available for purchase under the terms of a 
Modified Dutch Auction tender offer that expired Sept. 1.

     Jostens said 9,171,848 shares were validly tendered at or below the $24 
purchase price selected by the company, resulting in an oversubscription. Under 
the terms of the offer, 6,947,469 of the shares were purchased subject to a 
final proration factor of 76.28 percent. The remaining 63,639 shares purchased 
were from holders of fewer than 100 shares; under the terms of the offer, 
odd-lot shares were not subject to proration.

     Payment for the shares was made today, Jostens said. Shares that were 
tendered but not repurchased will be returned to shareholders no later than 
Monday.

     Jostens had offered to purchase up to 6.1 million shares at a price ranging
from $21.50 to $24.50. The company elected to increase the number of shares 
purchased to the maximum allowed.

     The shares purchased represent 15.4 percent of the 45.5 million shares 
outstanding immediately prior to the offer. Jostens will now have about 38.5 
million shares outstanding.

     Minneapolis-based Jostens is a leading provider of products and services 
that help people celebrate achievement, reward performance, recognize service 
and commemorate experiences throughout their lives. The company had fiscal 1995 
sales of $665 million.
