ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law makes provision for the
indemnification of officers and directors in terms sufficiently broad to
indemnify officers and directors under certain circumstances from liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Certificate of Incorporation of
the Registrant provides for indemnification to the fullest extent allowed under
Delaware law.

     Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
corporations to limit directors' monetary liability for breach of fiduciary duty
except in certain circumstances. The Certificate of Incorporation of the
Registrant provides for this liability limitation of its directors.

     The directors and officers of the Registrant are not covered by any
insurance policies indemnifying them against any liabilities.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling
persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered hereunder. The Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate

                                       2

jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

          4.1  Certificate of Incorporation of Schawk, Inc., as amended

               Statement filed with the Commission on April 16, 2001).

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include
     any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
     previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change
     to such information set forth in the Registration Statement.

          (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.

     (b)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a

                                       3

<PAGE>

court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

indemnification of officers and directors in terms sufficiently broad to
indemnify officers and directors under certain circumstances from liabilities

the Registrant provides for indemnification to the fullest extent allowed under
Delaware law.

corporations to limit directors' monetary liability for breach of fiduciary duty
except in certain circumstances. The Certificate of Incorporation of the

insurance policies indemnifying them against any liabilities.

of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling
persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered hereunder. The Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate

                                       2

policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include
     any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
     previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change
     to such information set forth in the Registration Statement.

          (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.

     (b)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of

Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a

                                       3
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
