              MAIL-WELL EXECUTIVES FILE CERTIFICATIONS WITH THE
                     SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., August 14, 2002 -- Mail-Well, Inc. (NYSE: MWL) announced
that Paul V. Reilly, chairman, president and chief executive officer, and
Michel P. Salbaing, senior vice president and chief financial officer,
submitted sworn statements today to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) affirming the SEC filings made by the company in 2002. The
statements cover Mail-Well's 10-K for 2001, its 10-Qs for the first and
second quarters of 2002, its 2002 proxy statement and all 8-Ks filed in 2002
to the date of the statements. The statements, which were submitted in
accordance with SEC Order No. 4-460, were reviewed with the company's audit
committee. A copy of the statements will be made available on the investor
relations page of the company's website at www.mail-well.com and will also
be available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov/rules/extra/ceocfo.htm.

Messrs. Reilly and Salbaing also submitted to the SEC certifications with
respect to the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC today, in accordance with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Mail-Well also announced that the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC today
reflects a change from the previously announced results for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, necessitated by the sale of the
company's filing products division on August 8, 2002. The proceeds of $36.7
million received from the sale of this operation were as expected, but due
primarily to certain obligations and contingencies assumed by Mail-Well in
order to complete the transaction, the company recorded an additional
impairment loss of $6.1 million in the second quarter.

Headquartered in Englewood, Colo., Mail-Well specializes in three
multi-billion market segments in the highly fragmented printing industry:
commercial printing, envelopes and printed office products. These three
divisions achieved sales of $1.9 billion in 2001. Mail-Well divested its
label division in May 2002. Mail-Well has over 11,000 employees and more
than 80 printing facilities and numerous sales offices throughout North
America.

This press release may make forward-looking statements, which are subject to
various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome. Factors
that could cause or contribute to differences include, but are not limited
to, the ability to execute strategic initiatives including the timely sale
of certain assets at favorable prices, economic conditions, product demand
and sales, ability to obtain assumed productivity and cost savings, interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates, paper and raw material costs and the
ability to pass them through to customers, waste paper prices, postage
rates, union relations, competition and competitor's actions, and changes in
the direct mail industry. Please refer to the company's 10-K, 10-Qs and
other SEC filings for a more detailed discussion of the risks. This press
release does not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to
buy Mail-Well securities.
