                                     PART II

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

     The following documents filed with the Commission by Schawk, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Registrant"), are incorporated in this Registration
Statement by reference:

(a)  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (File No.
     0-09335);

(b)  All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a) or
     15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since December
     31, 2000; and

(c)  The description of Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registration
     Statement on Form 8-A, dated November 21, 1986.

     All documents filed by Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and are a part hereof
from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to
be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to

ITEM 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

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

                                       2

<PAGE>

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
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
               (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.2 to Registration

          4.2  By-Laws of Schawk, Inc., as amended (incorporated by reference to
               Exhibit 4.3 to Registration Statement No. 333-39113).

               5).

          24   Powers of Attorney (included on the signature pages of the
               Registration Statement).

          99   Schawk, Inc. 2001 Equity Option Plan (Incorporated by reference
               to Appendix B to Registrant's Proxy 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 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.

PART II

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

     The following documents filed with the Commission by Schawk, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Registrant"), are incorporated in this Registration
Statement by reference:

(a)  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (File No.
     0-09335);

(b)  All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a) or
     15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since December
     31, 2000; and

(c)  The description of Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registration
     Statement on Form 8-A, dated November 21, 1986.

     All documents filed by Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and are a part hereof
from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to
be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to

ITEM 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

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

                                       2
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
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
               (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.2 to Registration

          24   Powers of Attorney (included on the signature pages of 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.

                                       3
(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 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.
