Press Release                                                 23 September 2003



                               4imprint Group plc

                         ("4imprint" or "the Company")

                                EGM requisition


The Board announces that it has received a notice requisitioning an
extraordinary general meeting to be held by no later than 10th November 2003
from three shareholders representing 40% of the issued share capital of the
Company.

The notice includes resolutions to remove all the current non-executive
directors of the Company, namely Rodger Booth, Peter Evans, Michael Potter and
Nick Temple, and for them to be replaced by Antony Lee, Edward Bramson and
Matthew Peacock. Messrs Bramson and Peacock are representatives of Hanover
Investment Partners IV Incorporated ("HIP-IV"), which recently acquired a 26.6%
interest in the Company.

The Company has held a number of meetings with HIP-IV in the last few weeks.  At
these meetings HIP-IV expressed its belief that substantial changes to the Board
were required. The Company listened to these views and sought to accommodate
HIP-IV's position as a significant shareholder, whilst ensuring that the
interests of all Shareholders were considered and control of the Board would not
be passed to a minority shareholder. In this respect the Board proposed to
HIP-IV that the following changes be made to the Company's Board:

     -  two new non-executive directors be appointed, both of whom would be
        nominated by HIP-IV;

     -  Nick Temple and Peter Evans would remain as non-executive directors of
        the Company;

     -  Nick Temple would become chairman as soon as practicable;

     -  Rodger Booth and Michael Potter would resign from the Board as soon as
        practicable; and

     -  the two executive directors would retain their current roles.


Against this background the Board is extremely disappointed that HIP-IV has
decided to take the course of action that it has.

The Board will shortly be writing to Shareholders explaining its position, at
which point the necessary EGM will be convened.
