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.
