Press Release Summary: Standard Register ranked eighth among Ohio employers for best
adoption-friendly workplace by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption

Press Release Body: DAYTON, Ohio (May 1, 2008) - Continuing its leadership in
providing outstanding employee adoption benefits, Standard Register (NYSE:SR) today
announced it has been recognized as a Best Adoption-Friendly Workplace by the Dave
Thomas Foundation for Adoption®. Standard Register is a leading provider of document
services and print management solutions.

Earning this recognition for the second straight year, Standard Register ranked
eighth on the list of Ohio's Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces. Rankings are based
on employers' overall adoption benefits, including the amount of financial
assistance and paid leave provided to employees who adopt.

"When Standard Register first made this benefit available, it sent a clear message
to our employees that the company fully supports the adoption process through both
financial assistance and time-off benefits," said Amy Reilly, vice president, Human
Resources, Standard Register. "We are constantly looking for ways to enhance the
work experience at Standard Register, and this recognition by the Dave Thomas
Foundation for Adoption is affirmation that we have an important element of a great
place to work."

Established in January 2006, Standard Register's policy on adoption provides
employees with up to $4,000 of financial assistance as well as up to four weeks of
paid leave. These benefits apply to both female and male employees.

According to Todd Suchland, a disaster recovery specialist with Standard Register
who recently benefited from the company's adoption policy, "The adoption process and
the paperwork that comes with it can be overwhelming. However, with the Standard
Register adoption policy in place, the element of financial assistance was removed
from the equation.

"It was very comforting to have my company's support throughout the adoption process
and to be provided the critical time needed not only to bond with my new
three-year-old daughter but also to help her adjust to her new environment and
family," he added.

The Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces in America list was compiled using data
collected from 919 U.S. employers. Survey rankings are based first on the maximum
amount of financial reimbursement per adoption, which includes any additional
support for special-needs adoption, and second on the maximum number of weeks of
paid leave per adoption. Employers who offer both are ranked higher than those
providing only monetary support.
