   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 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act
   empowers a corporation, subject to certain limitations, to
   indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding by
   reason of the fact that he or she was or is a director, officer,
   employee or agent of the corporation, against liability and
   expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
   connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof,
   if such party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
   believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
   corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or
   proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
   conduct to have been unlawful.

     Article VII of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for
   indemnification to present and past directors and officers of
   the Registrant against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
   paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred as a result
   of such person's being a party to, or threatened to be made a
   party to  (which shall include the giving of testimony or
   similar involvement), any threatened, pending or completed
   action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she
   is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was
   serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer,
   employee or agent of another enterprise, if he or she acted in
   good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
   in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and,
   with respect to any action or criminal proceedings, had no
   reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. 
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnification will not be
   available in an action by or in right of the Registrant to
   procure a judgment in its favor if such person has been adjudged
   to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent
   that the court in which such proceeding was brought or any other
   court of competent jurisdiction shall determine upon application
   that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
   the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
   reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such
   court shall deem proper.  Article VII further permits the
   Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
   person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
   the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the
   Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
   enterprise against liability asserted against him or her and
   incurred by him or her in such capacity or arising out of his or
   her status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the



                               4 <PAGE> 
<PAGE>

   power to indemnify such person against such liability under the
   provisions of Article VII.

     Article VII further provides that the indemnification rights
   provided under that Article shall be in addition to the
   indemnification right provided pursuant to the Florida Business
   Corporation Act, and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
   rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be
   entitled.

     The Registrant has purchased a Directors and Officers
   indemnity insurance policy.

   Item 7.       Exemption from Registration Claimed.  

       Not applicable.  

   Item 8.       Exhibits.  

     The following Exhibits are filed as part of this Registration
   Statement:

     4         Quipp, Inc. Directors Fee Purchase Plan

     5         Opinion of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

     23.1      Consent of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP

     23.2      Consent of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP (contained in
               Exhibit 5)  

     25        Power of Attorney (contained on signature page of
               this Registration Statement)

   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:  

          (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section
   10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;  

          (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
   arising after the effective date of the registration statement
   (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
   individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
   in the information set forth in the registration statement;  

          (iii) 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 in the registration statement;

   provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
   not apply if the information required to be included in a
   post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
   periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13


                               5 <PAGE> 
<PAGE>

   or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
   incorporated by reference 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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
   that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
   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.  

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

   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 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act
   empowers a corporation, subject to certain limitations, to
   indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding by
   reason of the fact that he or she was or is a director, officer,
   employee or agent of the corporation, against liability and
   expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
   connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof,
   if such party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
   believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
   corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or
   proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
   conduct to have been unlawful.

     Article VII of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for
   indemnification to present and past directors and officers of
   the Registrant against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
   paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred as a result
   of such person's being a party to, or threatened to be made a
   party to  (which shall include the giving of testimony or
   similar involvement), any threatened, pending or completed
   action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she
   is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was
   serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer,
   employee or agent of another enterprise, if he or she acted in
   good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
   in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and,
   with respect to any action or criminal proceedings, had no
   reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. 
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnification will not be
   available in an action by or in right of the Registrant to
   procure a judgment in its favor if such person has been adjudged
   to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent
   that the court in which such proceeding was brought or any other
   court of competent jurisdiction shall determine upon application
   that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
   the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
   reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such
   court shall deem proper.  Article VII further permits the
   Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
   person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
   the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the
   Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
   enterprise against liability asserted against him or her and
   incurred by him or her in such capacity or arising out of his or
   her status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the

                               4
power to indemnify such person against such liability under the
   provisions of Article VII.

     Article VII further provides that the indemnification rights
   provided under that Article shall be in addition to the
   indemnification right provided pursuant to the Florida Business
   Corporation Act, and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
   rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be
   entitled.

     The Registrant has purchased a Directors and Officers
   indemnity insurance policy.

     The following Exhibits are filed as part of this Registration
   Statement:

     23.1      Consent of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP

     23.2      Consent of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP (contained in
               Exhibit 5)  

     25        Power of Attorney (contained on signature page of
               this Registration Statement)

   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:  

          (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section
   10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;  

          (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
   arising after the effective date of the registration statement
   (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
   individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
   in the information set forth in the registration statement;  

          (iii) 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 in the registration statement;

   provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
   not apply if the information required to be included in a
   post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
   periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13

                               5
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
   incorporated by reference 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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
   that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
   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.  

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

                               6
