     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (the "Statement"). The Statement, which will be effective
beginning in the year 2001, requires derivative instruments to be
recorded in the balance sheet at their fair value with changes in fair
value being recognized in earnings unless specific hedging accounting
criteria are met. The Company has minimal hedging and derivative
activity, but it has not determined the impact of this statement on its
operations and financial position.

     In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use".  The SOP,
which has been adopted prospectively as of January 1, 1999, requires the
capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing
or obtaining internal use software.  Prior to the adoption of the SOP,
the Company expensed all internal use software related internal costs as
incurred.  The effect of adopting the SOP was immaterial to the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999 and is not expected to have a
material impact on earnings going forward.

     RECLASSIFICATION -- Certain amounts in the 1998 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.

2.   MERGERS WITH COMMERCIAL PRINTING COMPANIES

     Effective May 30, 1998, the Company completed its mergers with
seven commercial printing companies through the exchange of common
stock, which had a market value of $21.965 per share, as shown in the
table below:

         Color Art, Inc. ("Color Art")                                2,351,951
         Accu-color, Inc. ("Accu-color")                                622,391
         Industrial Printing Company ("Industrial Printing")            570,161
         IPC Graphics, Inc. ("IPC Graphics")                            325,973
         United Lithograph, Inc. ("United Lithograph")                  519,568
         French Bray, Inc. ("French Bray")                              538,040
         Clarke Printing, Co. ("Clarke Printing")                       437,984
</TABLE>

     The consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the mergers, which have been accounted for using the pooling of
interests method and, as a result, the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows are presented as if the combining companies
had been consolidated for all periods presented. The consolidated
balance sheets reflect the accounts of the Company as if the additional
common stock had been issued during all periods presented.

     The companies listed above are hereafter collectively referred to
as the Pooled Companies.

     Each of the mergers was negotiated and consummated as separate
transactions and the separate mergers were not contingent upon each
other.  Except for French Bray and Clarke Printing, all of the above
entities had elected Subchapter S corporation treatment for U.S. federal
income tax purposes and, accordingly, did not pay U.S. federal income
taxes.  Subsequent to May 30, 1998, these companies were included in
Mail-Well's consolidated U.S. federal income tax return.  In connection
with the mergers, the Company also issued common stock to acquire the
net assets (including the assumption of the debt associated with such
assets) of certain related real estate ventures owned by shareholders of
the commercial printing companies.  The shares of the Company's common
stock exchanged for real estate assets are included with the shares
exchanged for the respective operating company in the table above.  The
results of operations and financial conditions of the real estate assets
are reflected in the restated consolidated financial statements with
significant intercompany transactions and balances eliminated.  The
mergers with the real estate entities have been accounted for as taxable
business combinations and the recognizable tax benefits attributable to
the increase in tax basis were allocated to additional paid-in capital.

     Each of the above transactions has been accounted for individually
as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements for the periods subsequent to February 24, 1994 (inception)
have been restated to include the accounts of the Pooled Companies.
Prior to the mergers, Industrial Printing's and IPC Graphics' fiscal
year ended on September 30, United Lithograph's fiscal year ended on
June 30 and French Bray's fiscal year ended on July 31.  Accordingly,
the accompanying financial statements include those financial statements
of entities with

                                9

different fiscal years restated on a calendar year basis.  Additionally,
the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect certain minor
adjustments to conform the accounting policies of the Pooled Companies
to the Company's.

     Net sales and net income of the separate companies for the periods
preceding the mergers were as follows:

3.   ACQUISITIONS

     On February 2, 1999, the Company acquired Colorhouse, Inc., a pre-
press company located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with approximate annual
sales of $20.7 million. On February 4, 1999, the Company acquired Hill
Graphics, a sheetfed commercial printer located in Houston, Texas, with
approximate annual sales of $20.5 million. On May 29, 1999, the Company
acquired Forman Lithograph, Inc., a commercial printer located in San
Francisco, California, with approximate annual sales of $6.5 million.
On June 1, 1999, the Company acquired Avon Behren Printing Company, a
commercial printer located in San Antonio, Texas, with approximate
annual sales of $4.5 million.  On June 1, 1999, the Company also
acquired Design Manufacturing, Inc., a pressure sensitive label company
located in Wareham, Massachusetts, with approximate annual sales of $13
million.

     On March 17, 1999, the Company commenced a formal tender offer to
purchase all of the shares of Porter Chadburn plc, a label manufacturing
company based in England with a substantial portion of its operations in
the United States, for a price of approximately $.63 per share (38.5
pence) in cash.  The total purchase price, including the assumption of
debt and transaction costs was approximately $101.5 million.  Porter
Chadburn earned $7.3 million (pre-tax) on sales of $125.5 million for
its fiscal year ended March 27, 1999. (All U.S. dollar amounts are based
upon an exchange rate for British pounds of $1.642).  As of April 8,
1999, the Company gained control of Porter Chadburn through acceptances
of its offers.  Therefore, beginning with that date, the operations of
Porter Chadburn have been consolidated in the operations of the Company.

     These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and,
accordingly, the net purchase price of each acquisition was allocated to

the respective purchase.  The results of operations of each of the
acquisitions have been included in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations from the date of the acquisition.

Certain purchase agreements require the payment of additional
consideration in the form of cash payments if specific operating
performance criteria are met.  Any subsequent payment will be allocated
to goodwill. In addition, the purchase price allocation to inventory,
property, plant and equipment and restructuring charges for closing
certain plants for certain acquisitions have not been finalized.
Therefore, the amount of goodwill could be adjusted within one year of
the purchase.

5.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

     In November 1998, the Company committed to implement a
restructuring program affecting the Envelopes and Commercial Printing
segments and recorded a pre-tax provision of $15,961,000, of which
$11,699,000 represents non-cash charges for asset write-offs and
impairments, primarily machinery and equipment. Impairment losses were
calculated based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over
the assets' fair values.  The fair value of an asset is generally
determined based on recent comparable sales and independent quotes from
the used equipment market.  The remaining $4,262,000 is for severance,
other termination benefits and property exit costs, including
noncancelable operating leases. These charges are a result of the
regionalization of the Company's U.S. Envelopes operations and
reorganization of the Company's Commercial Printing operations,
primarily in the Northwest.

     The Company also incurred $499,000 and $998,000 in expenses for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, relating to
the relocation of personnel, equipment and inventory which under
generally accepted accounting principles could not be accrued for as
part of the Company's restructuring initiative.  These costs are
included in "Selling, administrative and other" in the consolidated
statements of operations.  Severance costs for the 616 personnel
included in the restructuring provision resulted from regionalizing
special manufacturing operations (490 personnel) and administrative
functions (126 personnel) in various locations of the Company's U.S.
operations. Approximately 374 personnel had been terminated as of June
30, 1999 and the remaining terminations are expected to be completed by
December 31, 1999.

     The following table summarizes the costs associated with the
restructuring program (in thousands):

6.   COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company participated in a $100.0 million accounts receivable
securitization agreement whereby it can sell, on a revolving basis, an
undivided percentage ownership interest in a designated pool of accounts
receivable up to a maximum of $100.0 sold under this agreement.  In July
1999, the Company closed out this securitization agreement and entered
into a new accounts receivable securitization facility.  See the
"Interest Expense" discussion in Item 2:  Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

     The Company is involved in various lawsuits incidental to its
businesses.  In management's opinion, it is not probable that an adverse
determination against the Company relating to these suits would occur
that would be material to the consolidated financial statements.  In the
case of administrative proceedings related to environmental matters
involving governmental authorities, management does not believe that any
imposition of monetary sanctions would be material to the Company's
results of operations and financial position.


7.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

     Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly
by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance.  Generally, financial
information is required to be reported on the basis that is used
internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to
allocate resources to segments. Additionally, segment information for
all periods has been restated to reflect the mergers of the Pooled
Companies as discussed in Note 2.

     The Company's operating segments prepare separate financial
information that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Officer
in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources.
Corporate expenses include the costs of maintaining a corporate office.
The Company does not allocate corporate overhead, interest (income)
expense, amortization expense, gains and losses on disposal of assets or
income taxes by segment in assessing performance.

     Operating segments of the Company are defined primarily by product
line and consist of Commercial Printing, Envelopes, Printing for
Distributors and Labels. The latter two segments were added via
acquisitions in the first quarter of 1998. The Commercial Printing
segment specializes in printing advertising literature, high-end
catalogs, annual reports, calendars and other materials and provides a
broad range of printing and graphic arts services primarily to the
advertising industry. The Envelopes segment prints and manufactures
envelopes designed to customer specifications.  The Printing for
Distributors segment prints a diverse line of custom products addressing
the business documents needs of small and medium-sized end users.  The
Labels segment is a leading supplier of labels to the North American
food and beverage markets and has operations in the United Kingdom.

     Early in 1999, the Company combined the High Impact Color Printing
segment with the Commercial Printing segment under one organization, now
called the Commercial Printing segment.  In addition, Mail-Well Graphics
was reclassified from Envelopes to Commercial Printing since the 1998
Form 10-K.  Segment information for all periods has been restated to
reflect these changes. Segment information as of and for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is presented below:

8.   CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     In December 1998, Mail-Well I Corporation ("Issuer" or "MWI"), the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, and the only direct subsidiary of the
Company, issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8 3/4 %
Senior Subordinated Notes ("Senior Notes") due in 2008 (see Note 4). The
Senior Notes are guaranteed by all of the U.S. subsidiaries (the
"Guarantor Subsidiaries") of MWI, all of which are wholly owned, and by
Mail-Well, Inc. ("Parent Guarantor").  The guarantees are joint and
several, full, complete and unconditional.  There are no material
restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to transfer
funds to MWI in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances, other
than ordinary legal restrictions under corporate law, fraudulent
transfer and bankruptcy laws.

     The following condensed consolidating financial information
illustrates the composition of the Parent Guarantor, Issuer, Guarantor
Subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries.  The Issuer, the Guarantor
subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries comprise all of the
direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor.  Management
has determined that separate complete financial statements would not
provide additional material information that would be useful in
assessing the financial composition of the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

     Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity
method, wherein the investor company's share of earnings and income
taxes applicable to the assumed distribution of such earnings are
included in net income. In addition, investments increase in the amount
of permanent contributions to subsidiaries and decrease in the amount of
distributions from subsidiaries.  The elimination entries eliminate the
equity method investment in subsidiaries and the equity in earnings of
subsidiaries, intercompany payables and receivables and other
transactions between subsidiaries.

     Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 increased 25.4% to
$439.0 million compared to net sales of $350.1 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998. This increase in net sales was attributable to
sales from companies acquired during 1999, a full quarter of sales from
companies acquired during 1998 and internal growth in each segment.
Gross profit of $107.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
represents a 52.4% increase over the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
Expressed as a percent of net sales, gross profit increased by 430 basis
points (BP) to 24.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to
20.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 primarily due to the Company's
productivity improvements, the impact of purchasing programs and
benefits from restructuring initiatives. Expressed as a percent of net
sales, selling, administrative and other expense increased 260 BP to
15.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from 13.0% in quarter ended
June 30, 1998.  The increase was mainly due to increased amortization
expense, the impact of acquisitions and an increase in corporate
administrative expense attributable to expanded treasury and finance
operations. Operating income increased 56.5% from the quarter ended June
30, 1998.

     Earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 increased 32.6% to
$15.0 million from $11.3 million in the second quarter of the prior
year. Earnings per diluted share increased 27.3% to $0.28 in the quarter
ended June 30, 1999 from $0.22 in 1998.

     Net sales for the six-months ended June 30, 1999 increased 31.5%
to $879.5 million compared to net sales of $668.8 million for the six-
months ended June 30, 1998. This increase in net sales was attributable
to sales from companies acquired during 1999, a full six-months of sales
from companies acquired during 1998 and internal growth in each segment.
Gross profit of $207.0 million for the six-months ended June 30, 1999
represents a 48.4% increase over the six-months ended June 30, 1998.
Expressed as a percent of net sales, gross profit increased by 260 BP to
23.5% for the six-months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 20.9% for the
six-months ended June 30, 1998 primarily due to the Company's
productivity improvements, the impact of purchasing programs and
benefits from restructuring initiatives. Expressed as a percent of net
sales, selling, administrative and other expense increased 120 BP to
14.8% for the six-months ended June 30, 1999 from 13.6% in six-months
ended June 30, 1998. The increase was mainly due to increased
amortization expense, the impact of acquisitions and an increase in
corporate administrative expense attributable to expanded treasury and
finance operations. Operating income increased 58.1% from the six-months
ended June 30, 1998.

     Earnings for the six-months ended June 30, 1999 increased 42.8% to
$29.8 million from $20.8 million in the six-month period of the prior
year. Earnings per diluted share increased 33.3% to $0.56 in the six-
months ended June 30, 1999 from $0.42 in 1998.

     RESTRUCTURING CHARGES -- In November 1998 the Company committed to
implement a restructuring program affecting the Envelopes and Commercial
Printing segments and recorded a pre-tax provision of $16.0 million, of
which $11.7 million represents non-cash charges for asset write-offs and
impairments. The Company also incurred $0.5 million of costs in each of
the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999 relating to the
relocation of equipment which under generally accepted accounting
principles could not be previously accrued for as part of the Company's
restructuring initiative. These costs are included in "Selling,
administrative and other" in the consolidated statements of operations.
For more information on these charges please refer to Note 5 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and Note 5 of the
Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Commercial Printing

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

     NET SALES -- Net sales increased by $50.2 million (43.4%) for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998,
primarily due to acquisitions in 1998 and 1999. Without acquisitions and
the loss of sales from businesses we planned to exit, volume gains
(offset by declining paper prices) were up 4%.

     OPERATING INCOME -- The majority of the increase in operating
income from $4.8 million to $13.3 million in the quarter ended June 30,
1999 was due to improvements in gross margins.  Cost of sales includes
materials (net of waste recovery revenue), labor, depreciation and other
manufacturing and distribution costs.  Total cost of sales, as a percent
of sales, decreased from 81.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to
77.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This decline was primarily
due to the impact of the benefits from new acquisitions adopting our
corporate purchasing programs and continuous improvement initiatives.

SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1998

     NET SALES -- Net sales increased by $134.5 million (62.5%) for the
six-months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the six-months ended June 30,
1998, primarily due to acquisitions in 1998 and 1999. Without
acquisitions net sales were essentially unchanged as volume gains were
offset by declining paper prices.

     OPERATING INCOME -- The majority of the increase in operating
income from $10.5 million to $27.2 million in the six-months ended June
30, 1999 was due to improvements in gross margins.  Cost of sales
includes materials (net of waste recovery revenue), labor, depreciation
and other manufacturing and distribution costs.  Total cost of sales, as
a percent of sales, decreased from 80.6% for the six-months ended June
30, 1998 to 77.9% for the six-months ended June 30, 1999. This decline
was primarily due to the impact of the benefits from new acquisitions
adopting our corporate purchasing programs and continuous improvement
initiatives.

Envelopes

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

     NET SALES -- Net sales decreased by $3.5 million (1.9%) for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
Paper cost changes have historically been passed through to the
customer. Adjusting for a decrease in paper prices (approximately 14%
change in paper material costs) revenues increased 5%.  Half of the
increase was attributable to real revenue growth and the other half was
attributable to acquisitions. As the Company has grown and implemented
its restructuring initiatives, by expanding into multiple markets and
changing markets, mix is significantly impacted by the various products
and geographical locations served.  Therefore, it is difficult to
quantify the change in sales due to volume/price/mix.

     OPERATING INCOME -- The majority of the increase in operating
income from $19.9 million to $23.6 million in the quarter ended June 30,
1999 was due to improvements in gross margins. Cost of sales includes
materials (net of waste recovery revenue), labor, depreciation and other
manufacturing and distributions costs.  Total cost of sales, as a
percent of sales, decreased from 78.3% for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 to 73.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.  The decrease was due
to the positive benefits of the Company's restructuring plan and the
impact of purchasing and productivity programs.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1998

     NET SALES -- Net sales increased by $4.8 million (1.3%) for the
six-months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the six-months ended June 30,
1998.  Adjusting for acquisitions and a decrease in paper prices, which
are passed on to customers, (approximately 17% change in paper material
costs) revenues were up 3.8%.

     OPERATING INCOME -- The majority of the increase in operating
income from $41.4 to $48.7 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 was due
to improvements in gross margins.  Cost of sales includes materials (net
of waste recovery revenue), labor, depreciation and other manufacturing
and distributions costs.  Total cost of sales, as a percent of sales,
decreased from 77.7% for the six-months ended June 30, 1998 to 74.5% for
the six-months ended June 30, 1999.  The decrease was due to the
positive benefits of the Company's restructuring plan and the impact of
purchasing and productivity programs.

Corporate

     Certain major production equipment is accounted for as an
operating lease on a consolidated basis while treated as a purchase on a
segment level. The Company classifies the excess of the operating lease
expense over depreciation as a corporate expense in analyzing segment
operations. The Company does not include the amortization of intangibles
recorded in acquisitions in segment results but rather includes it on a
corporate basis.  In addition, corporate expenses include corporate
administrative expense and loss (gain) on disposal of assets.

     Corporate expenses for the quarter and six-months ended June 30,
1999 increased $2.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively, compared to
1998 as a result of increases in amortization expense and corporate
administrative expense.  Amortization expense increased as a result of
the acquisitions made in the year ended December 31, 1998 and the six-
months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in corporate administrative
expense was attributable to expanded treasury and finance operations.

     MERGER COSTS -- Effective May 30, 1998, the Company completed its
mergers with six commercial printing companies and one printing for
distributor company through the exchange of common stock. In connection
with the mergers, transaction costs incurred of $3.0 and $0.8 million
were expensed in the six-months and quarter ended June 30, 1998,
respectively. These costs consist primarily of investment banking, legal
and accounting fees. For more information on these mergers please refer
to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     INTEREST EXPENSE -- Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30,
1999 increased $6.2 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
Interest expense for the six-months ended June 30, 1999 increased $11.6
million compared to the six-months ended June 30, 1998.  Both increases
occurred as a result of higher average bank debt balances, primarily due
to acquisitions, and a slight increase in the overall average borrowing
rate. The Company continued to participate in its accounts receivable
securitization agreement whereby it can sell, on a revolving basis, an
undivided percentage ownership interest in a designated pool of accounts
receivable up to a maximum of $100.0 million until November 2001. At
June 30, 1999 and 1998, $96.0 million and $84.5 million, respectively,
had been sold under this agreement.  In July 1999, the Company closed
out this securitization agreement and entered into a new accounts
receivable securitization facility.  The Company entered into a five-
year agreement whereby it can sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided
percentage ownership interest in a designated pool of accounts
receivable up to a maximum of $150.0 million.  The receivables were sold
at a discount slightly above the prevailing commercial paper rate, plus
certain other fees.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE -- The effective tax rate for all periods was
higher than the federal statutory rate due to state and provincial
income taxes and certain goodwill amortization that is not tax
deductible. See Notes 2 and 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     HISTORICAL CASH FLOW -- Net cash flow provided by operating
activities was $74.7 million and $24.9 million for the six-months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Acquisitions required cash
payments of $162.6 million and $254.6 million for the six-months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Other investing activities include
capital expenditures, which were $38.1 million and $30.6 million for the
six-months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net cash flow
from financing activities was positively affected by the increase in
receivables sold under the securitization agreement through June 30,
1999 and 1998 of $43.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

     At June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $113.0 million of
available credit under the $300.0 million Bank of America credit
facility. In addition, at June 30, 1999, the Company had sold $96
million of receivables under the $100.0 million securitization facility.

     SECURITIES OFFERINGS -- The Company has an effective shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 that permits the Company to issue
debt securities, common stock, preferred stock or warrants. At June 30,
1999, there was availability remaining to issue approximately $52.0
million of securities under the shelf registration statement.

     In December 1998 the Company's wholly-owned operating subsidiary,
Mail-Well I Corporation, issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of 8 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Senior Notes").
The Senior Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  In June 1999 Mail-Well I
completed an exchange offer whereby it exchanged $300 million in
aggregate principal amount of 8 3/4% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2008 for all of the outstanding Senior Notes in a transaction
registered under the Securities Act.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY -- With the strengthening U.S. Dollar, the
Company's foreign currency exposure primarily relates to its Canadian
operations. Net sales provided by the Canadian operations for the six-
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was USD $95.4 million and USD $68.8
million, respectively.  The impact of the change in Canadian Dollar
exchange rates was minimal.

     SEASONALITY AND ENVIRONMENT -- As the Company expands its
operations into more commercial printing and labels segments, it has
become more impacted by seasonality. Management expects the first and
third quarter to report higher sales for the Commercial Printing segment
because of annual report and car brochure business.  In addition, the
third quarter is traditionally the strongest for the Labels segment.

     The effects of environmental matters had no material financial
impact on the historical operations of the Company and are not expected
to have a material effect on the Company's liquidity and capital
resources.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     On August 4, 1999, the Company purchased Enterprise Press, a
commercial printer in New York, NY, with annual sales of approximately
$23.0 million.  On August 6, 1999, the Company purchased Direct
Graphics, Inc., which specializes in direct mail printing and services.
The Sidney, Ohio-based company reported 1998 sales of $21.0 million.

     On July 2, 1999, the Company announced that Gary H. Ritondaro has
been named Senior Vice President and CFO of Mail-Well, Inc., succeeding
Michael A. Zawalski whom became President and CEO of Mail-Well Label.
On July 7, 1999, we announced that David H. Holt was appointed President
and CEO of the Printing for Distributors segment.

YEAR 2000

     In 1997 the Company began to assess its existing computer systems,
including an assessment of Year 2000 compliance.  In May 1998 the
Company instituted a Year 2000 Project whose goal was to develop and
execute a plan for Year 2000 compliance throughout the Company.  The
Company has established an individual at every significant operating
entity to be responsible for coordination with the Year 2000 Project.

     What is the Company's state of readiness?  What are the costs?

     The Company's Year 2000 Project is directed to four major areas:
core computer systems, networking and communications, ancillary systems
(including plant machinery) and verification with key suppliers.  The
following summarizes our state of readiness and the costs to address the
Company's Year 2000 issues.

     CORE COMPUTER SYSTEMS

     The Company completed an assessment of its existing computer
systems in 1997 and expected to spend and capitalize approximately $9 to
$11 million through 1999 to purchase and install new systems. The new
systems are Y2K compliant.  These costs are being funded through
operating cash flows.  Several computer systems were due to be replaced
but were accelerated because of the Year 2000 issue.  Through June 30,
1999, approximately $9.4 million of the estimated $10 to $12 million has
been capitalized.  The amount expected to be capitalized has been
increased due to acquisitions and other projects, which were
subsequently added.

     Through June 1999, 72% of the core systems are compliant.  System
replacements are in the implementation phase at all remaining divisions;
i.e., hardware and network equipment is operational, software is in
place, and project teams are working on training and transition.  The
Company has met all of its core computer systems replacement goals to
date and expects to complete the remainder by the end of the third
quarter.

     NETWORKING AND COMMUNICATIONS

     The Company is also taking actions required to minimize the risk
that its remaining business critical networking and communications
systems will be disrupted with respect to dating in the year 2000.  The
Company has completed or is engaged in the process of updating,
replacing and testing certain of its network operating systems and
network equipment and firmware so as to operate without disruption due
to year 2000 issues.  These actions are scheduled to be completed
through the third quarter of 1999 and, based on current information
available, the Company does not anticipate the costs of remedial
actions, which are being expensed as incurred, will be material.

     ANCILLARY SYSTEMS AND VERIFICATION WITH KEY SUPPLIERS

     The Company has completed an inventory of year 2000 sensitive
devices, plant machinery and desktop software.  The Company has also
completed a listing of business critical suppliers, such as paper and
ink suppliers. All such suppliers have been identified and contacted for
information on their actions to mitigate Year 2000 disruptions. Results
of the supplier surveys, of both device and manufacturing suppliers, and
follow-up mailings are reflected in contingency planning at each
division.  Based on the information received through June 30, 1999,
management does not believe costs to replace year 2000 sensitive
devices, plant machinery and desktop software will exceed $1.5 million,
which management does not consider to be material to our financial
condition or cash flow.

     What is the Company doing about contingency planning?

     Every location of the Company is required to prepare a contingency
plan and to file it with the Mail-Well Y2K Office.  The contingency
guidelines to be followed will address the following issues, among
others:

                                28


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     *  Response to and recovery from Y2K related failures
     *  Raw materials inventory stocking levels and alternative sources
     *  Review of disaster recovery plans
     *  Comprehensive system backup procedures to preserve 1999 data at
        year-end
     *  Availability of key staff on-site during the New Year's weekend
     *  Coordination of planning with other Mail-Well plants

     What are the risks of the Company's Year 2000 issues?

     The Company presently believes it has an effective plan in place
to anticipate and resolve any potential Year 2000 issues in a timely
manner.  In the event, however, the Company does not properly identify
Year 2000 issues or the resolution is not timely conducted for those
Year 2000 issued identified, there can be no assurance that Year 2000
issues will not materially and adversely affect the Company's results of
operations or relationships with third parties.  In addition,
disruptions in the economy generally resulting from Year 2000 issues
also could materially and adversely affect the Company.  The amount of
potential liability and lost revenue that would be reasonably likely to
result from the failure by the Company and certain key third parties to
achieve Year 2000 compliance on a timely basis cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time.  The Company expects to complete a contingency
plan to deal with the most reasonably likely worst case scenario during
the third quarter of 1999.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (the "Statement"). The
Statement, which will be effective for the year 2001, requires
derivative instruments to be recorded in the balance sheet at their fair
value with changes in fair value being recognized in earnings unless
specific hedging accounting criteria are met.  Although the Company
believes it has a minimal current level of hedging and derivative
activity, it has not determined the impact of this statement on its
operations and financial position.

     In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use".  The SOP,
which has been adopted prospectively as of January 1, 1999, requires the
capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing
or obtaining internal use software.  Prior to the adoption of  the SOP,
the Company expensed all internal use software related internal costs as
incurred.  The effect of adopting the SOP was immaterial  to the quarter
and six-months ended June 30, 1999 and is not expected to have a
material impact on earnings going forward.


ITEM 3.--QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to certain market risks, including foreign
currency and interest rate risks. The foreign currency risk for foreign
currency denominated debt obligations (US$ 24,239,000 at June 30, 1999)
and the interest rate risk for the investment in accounts receivable
securitization ($3,925,000 at June 30, 1999) are not considered to be
significant since the fair values and carrying values are not material
to the Company's financial position.  The Company's cash flows from
operations and earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest
rates since a large portion of its credit agreements include rates
variable with LIBOR.  As of June 30, 1999, $187 million of variable rate
debt was outstanding.  The fair value of the Company's fixed rate long-
term debt is affected by changes in long-term interest rates.  See Item
7A of the Company's 1998 Form 10-K for quantitative and qualitative
disclosures about market risk.  No significant changes in market risk
have occurred since that filing.
