                       Report of Independent Accountants

July 14, 1994

To the Participants and Pension Committee of the
Nashua Corporation Savings Plan for
Specified Hourly Employees

        In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for
plan benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
plan benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for plan benefits of the Nashua Corporation Savings Plan for
Specified Hourly Employees (the "Plan") at December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The fund information in the statement
of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and
changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.  The fund
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                               ------------------
                  SAVINGS PLAN FOR SPECIFIED HOURLY EMPLOYEES
                  -------------------------------------------
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         -----------------------------

    NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    ---------------------------------------------------

    Basis of Accounting
    -------------------

    The financial statements of the Nashua Corporation Savings Plan for
    Specified Hourly Employees ("the Plan") are presented on the accrual
    basis of accounting.

    Plan Establishment
    ------------------

    The Plan was established January 1, 1992 for hourly employees at Nashua
    Corporation's Santa Clara facility as the result of a spin-off of assets
    from the Nashua Corporation Employees' Savings Plan of $399,739.
    Additionally, effective January 1, 1993, the hourly employees at Nashua
    Corporation's Exeter facility were transferred from the Nashua
    Corporation Employees' Savings Plan into the Plan.  As a result $43,134
    of assets were transferred into the Plan.

    Asset Maintenance
    -----------------

    Fidelity Management Trust Company is the Plan trustee ("the Trustee").
    Assets of the Plan are invested, at the election of the participants, in
    up to nine Fidelity Investments' mutual funds (Fidelity Magellan Fund,
    Fidelity Puritan Fund, Fidelity Equity-Income Fund, Fidelity Growth
    Company Fund, Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund, Fidelity Europe Fund,
    Fidelity Asset Manager, Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund, or Fidelity
    Retirement Government Money Market Fund), a Guaranteed Investment
    Contract Fund managed by the Trustee or the Nashua Common Stock Fund.
    Effective August 1, 1993 the Plan's investment in Nashua Corporation
    common stock was converted into a unitized stock fund.  Also effective
    July 1, 1992, employees can direct up to 25% of their account balances
    into the Nashua Common Stock Fund.  The Europe Fund, Pacific Basin Fund,
    Intermediate Bond Fund, and Asset Manager are new investment options
    effective July 15, 1993.

    The Plan's assets are commingled with assets of the Nashua Corporation
    Employees' Savings Plan in a participant-directed master trust
    arrangement.  The Plan's participation in the net assets of the master
    trust is recorded based on individual plan participants' account
    balances.  Investment income and expenses for each investment option are
    allocated to the individual participant account balances based on the
    prorata beginning account balances less withdrawals and loans made to
    participants.

    Investment Valuation
    --------------------

    Common shares of Nashua Corporation ("the Company") held in the Plan are
    valued at closing sales prices supplied by a pricing service.  The cost
    of Nashua common stock is determined on an average cost basis.  The
    Plan's guaranteed investment contracts are valued at contract value.
    Contract value represents contributions made under the contracts, plus
    interest earned, less funds used to pay withdrawals and expenses.  The
    Plan's mutual fund accounts are valued at the respective funds' closing
    net asset values.

    Contributions
    -------------

    The Plan has certain established criteria for eligibility.  All
    contributions are immediately 100% vested. 401(k) Plan contributions -
    Employees may make a basic contribution of up to 15% of their earnings to
    the Plan. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of up to 6% of the
    employees' contributed earnings.  Contributions are subject to certain
    limitations.  Effective July 1, 1992, employees can direct the Company
    matching contribution into any of the investment funds available for their
    contributions.  Prior to July 1, 1992, the Company's contributions were
    invested solely in common shares of the Company.

    Withdrawals and Loans
    ---------------------

    Plan participants may withdraw part or all of their account balances
    subject to certain restrictions stipulated by current Internal Revenue
    Service regulations.  The Plan also provides for optional forms of
    withdrawal at the time of retirement.  Plan participants may borrow
    against individual Plan balances subject to Plan and current Internal
    Revenue Service regulations.  Interest on the loans is payable at 2%
    above the prime rate.  Loans are payable within 5 years from the date of
    withdrawal unless the amount was withdrawn to purchase a primary
    residence, in which case the term of the loan is 20 years.  At December
    31, 1993 and 1992, there were 17 and 10 loans outstanding totalling
    $50,348 and $17,992, respectively.

    Expenses
    --------

    Trustee administrative fees, audit and other expenses are paid directly
    by the Company and, accordingly, such items are not reflected in the
    financial statements of the Plan.

    Investment Income
    -----------------

    Income from investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

    Federal Income Tax Status
    -------------------------

    The company was advised by the U.S. Treasury Department in November of
    1993 that the Plan is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue
    Code ("the Code") and is exempt from federal income taxes.  The Plan has
    since been amended, however, a new letter has not yet been requested.
    Management believes that the Plan, as amended, and its operations have
    been and continue to be in accordance with all applicable provisions of
    the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
    ("ERISA").

    NOTE 2 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
    ----------------------------------------

    The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general
    information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan
    agreement for more complete information.

    1.  GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all
        eligible employees.  It is subject to the provisions of ERISA.

    2.  INVESTMENT FUNDS - Employees' contributions and, effective July 1,
        1992, Company contributions, can be invested in guaranteed
        investment contracts and/or mutual funds at the election of the
        participants.  Additionally, effective July 1, 1992, employees can
        direct up to 25% of their contributions into the Nashua Common Stock
        Fund.  Prior to July 1, 1992, all contributions of the Company were
        invested solely in common shares of Nashua Corporation.

    3.  TERMINATION - The Plan is administered by the Nashua Pension
        Committee, which is composed of officers of the Company.  The
        Company anticipates and believes that the Plan will continue without
        interruption, but reserves the right to discontinue the Plan.  In
        the event that such discontinuance results in the termination of the
        Plan, the Plan provides that net assets shall be allocated among the
        participants and beneficiaries in the order provided for by ERISA.
