MONTREAL, CANADA -- 10/29/09 -- Worldcolor (TSX: WC) (TSX: WC.U) announced today that it has launched a collaborative effort with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish a case study outlining the environmental gains achieved by utilizing continuous improvement initiatives to analyze and increase the overall efficiency of Worldcolor's Logistics platform. These efforts coincide with Worldcolor's ongoing partnership with the SmartWay Program, which is a collaborative, voluntary program between the EPA and the freight industry that works to increase energy efficiency while reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

The initiative is focused on reducing the amount of full truck loads from unnecessary shipping across North America, thereby greatly reducing the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. Worldcolor has re-evaluated and re-defined its consolidation network, created new delivery boundaries, tested and altered skid configurations and enhanced critical areas of up-front customer communication. These variables, among many others, allow Worldcolor to increase load planning times and shift strategic loading initiatives, maximizing every truck's load configurations and weights.

"Worldcolor Logistics is committed to significantly decreasing our carbon footprint and to continually increasing the efficiency of every load plan. We obtained a 1.25 from the SmartWay Transport Program for two years running, which is the highest performance indicator they give, showing the result of our dedication to environmental responsibility" commented Worldcolor Logistics President, Dan Scapin.

To access the entire case study, please visit www.worldcolorlogistics.com.

Worldcolor Logistics provides logistics and mail list services for both Worldcolor Press and third party customers, managing distribution and mailing services for catalogs, direct mail, magazines (subscriber copies and newsstand), newspaper inserts, books and bulk printed products. Tracking and tracing services are also available.

Forward-looking statements

To the extent any statements made in this press release contain information that is not historical, these statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are forward-looking information within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively "forward-looking statements"). These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, prospects of the Company's (the "Company") industry and its objectives, goals, strategies, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates, projections and outlook, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "foresee," "believe" or "continue" or the negatives of these terms, variations on them and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations about future events. Forward-looking statements do not take into account the effect of transactions or other items announced or occurring after the statements are made. For example, they do not include the effect of dispositions, acquisitions, other business transactions, asset write-downs or other charges announced or occurring after the forward-looking statements are made.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct, and forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.

Important factors and assumptions as well as the Company's ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated therewith that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations are detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the securities regulatory authorities in Canada, available at www.sec.gov and www.sedar.com (copies of which are available on www.worldcolor.com). The Company cautions that any such list of important factors that could affect future results is not exhaustive. Investors and others should carefully consider the factors detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC and the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and other uncertainties and potential events when relying on its forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Company.

Unless mentioned otherwise, the forward-looking statements in this press release reflect the Company's expectations as of October 29, 2009, being the date at which they have been approved, and are subject to change after this date. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or intention to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by applicable securities laws.
