Exhibit 31.1


I, Keith S. Walters, certify that:

1. I  have  reviewed this annual report on Form  10-K  of  Ennis,
   Inc.;

2. Based  on  my  knowledge, this annual report does not  contain
   any  untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to  state  a
   material fact necessary to make the statements made, in  light
   of  the  circumstances under which such statements were  made,
   not  misleading  with respect to the period  covered  by  this
   annual report;

3. Based  on  my knowledge, the financial statements,  and  other
   financial  information included in this annual report,  fairly
   present  in  all  material respects the  financial  condition,
   results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as  of,
   and for, the periods presented in this annual report;

4. The   registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and   I   are
   responsible   for  establishing  and  maintaining   disclosure
   controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-
   15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  and internal  control  over  financial
   reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13-15(f) and  15d-
   15(f) for the registrant and we have:

       a)    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
       caused  such  disclosure controls  and  procedures  to  be
       designed  under our supervision, to ensure  that  material
       information  relating  to  the registrant,  including  its
       consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us  by  others
       within  those entities, particularly during the period  in
       which this annual report is being prepared;

       b)     Designed  such  internal  control  over   financial
       reporting, or caused such internal control over  financial
       reporting  to  be  designed  under  our  supervision,   to
       provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability  of
       financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial
       statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance   with
       generally accepted accounting principles;

       c)    Evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the  registrant's
       disclosure controls and procedures and presented  in  this
       report  our  conclusions about the  effectiveness  of  the
       disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end  of  the
       period  covered  by this report based on such  evaluation;
       and

       d)     Disclosed  in  this  report  any  change   in   the
       registrant's  internal  control over  financial  reporting
       that  occurred during the registrant's most recent  fiscal
       quarter  (the  registrant's fourth fiscal quarter  in  the
       case  of  an annual report) that has materially  affected,
       or   is  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,   the
       registrant's  internal control over  financial  reporting;
       and

5. The   registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and  I   have
   disclosed,  based  on  our  most  recent  evaluation,  to  the
   registrant's  auditors and the audit committee of registrant's
   board  of  directors  (or  persons performing  the  equivalent
   function):

       a)    All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
       in  the  design  or  operation of  internal  control  over
       financial   reporting  which  are  reasonably  likely   to
       adversely  affect  the  registrant's  ability  to  record,
       process, summarize and report financial information; and

<PAGE>
       b)    Any  fraud,  whether or not material, that  involves
       management or other employees who have a significant  role
       in   the  registrant's  internal  control  over  financial
       reporting.
