3.To ratify the appointment of independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 29, 2006.

4.To take action on any other business that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Accompanying this Notice of Annual Meeting is a Proxy Statement, form of Proxy and our 2005 Annual Report to Stockholders.

Only stockholders of record as shown on our books at the close of business on April 17, 2006 will be entitled to vote at our 2006 Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on at the meeting.

You are cordially invited to attend our 2006 Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the 2006 Annual Meeting, please sign, date and mail the enclosed form of Proxy in the return envelope provided as soon as possible. The Proxy is revocable and will not affect your right to vote in person in the event you attend the meeting.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,

Anthony Angelini

President and Chief Executive Officer

Dated:May 1, 2006

Plymouth, Minnesota

ZOMAX INCORPORATED

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

to be held

June 7, 2006

The accompanying Proxy is solicited by the Zomax Incorporated Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) for use at our 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Tuesday, June 7, 2006, at the location and for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting, and at any adjournment thereof.

The cost of soliciting proxies, including the preparation, assembly and mailing of the proxies and soliciting material, as well as the cost of forwarding such material to the beneficial owners of stock, will be borne by us. Our directors, officers and regular employees may, without compensation other than their regular remuneration, solicit proxies personally or by telephone.

You may vote your shares by telephone, Internet or mail by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. If your shares are held in “street name,” you must instruct the record holder of your shares in order to vote.

Any stockholder giving a Proxy may revoke it any time prior to its use at the 2006 Annual Meeting by giving written notice of such revocation to the Secretary or any other officer of Zomax or by filing a later dated written Proxy with one of our officers. Personal attendance at the 2006 Annual Meeting is not, by itself, sufficient to revoke a Proxy unless written notice of the revocation or a later dated Proxy is delivered to an officer before the revoked or superseded Proxy is used at the 2006 Annual Meeting. Proxies will be voted as directed therein. Proxies that are signed by stockholders but that lack specific instruction with respect to any proposal will be voted in favor of such proposal as set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting or, with respect to the election of directors, in favor of the number and slate of directors proposed by the Board of Directors and listed herein.

The presence at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Zomax Common Stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a broker returns a “non-vote” proxy, indicating a lack of voting instructions by the beneficial holder of the shares and a lack of discretionary authority on the part of the broker to vote on a particular matter, then the shares covered by such non-vote shall be deemed present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but shall not be deemed to be represented at the meeting for purposes of calculating the vote required for approval of such matter. If a stockholder abstains from voting as to any matter, then the shares held by such stockholder shall be deemed present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum and for purposes of calculating the vote with respect to such matter, but shall not be deemed to have been voted in favor of such matter. An abstention as to any proposal will therefore have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

The mailing address of the principal executive office of Zomax is 5353 Nathan Lane, Plymouth, Minnesota 55442. We expect that this Proxy Statement, the related Proxy and Notice of Annual Meeting will first be mailed to stockholders on or about May 1, 2006.

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

The Zomax Board of Directors has fixed April 17, 2006 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the 2006 Annual Meeting. Persons who were not stockholders on such date will not be allowed to vote at the 2006 Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, there were 32,492,412 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Common Stock is our only outstanding class of capital stock. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the 2006 Annual Meeting. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is comprised solely of independent directors. The members are Joseph J. Lahti – Chair, Paul F. Foley and Janice Ozzello Wilcox.

Overview and Philosophy. The Compensation Committee’s executive compensation policies are designed to enhance the financial performance of Zomax, and thus stockholder value, by aligning the financial interests of our key executives with those of our stockholders. Compensation of our executive officers is comprised of four parts:  base salary, annual incentive bonuses, benefits and long-term incentive opportunity in the form of stock options or restricted stock awards. In determining these four components of an executive officer’s compensation package, the Committee reviews the performance of the individual officer and Zomax, the strategic value of the particular officer, the scope of the officer’s responsibilities and results achieved and the aggregate value and cost of the officer’s compensation package.

The Compensation Committee believes that the base salaries of our executive officers for fiscal 2005 are generally comparable to base salaries of executive officers of comparable publicly-held companies. Executive officers also have the opportunity to earn cash bonuses if certain financial and/or other performance goals are met by Zomax. Long-term incentives are based on stock performance through stock options or restricted stock awards. The Compensation Committee believes that stock ownership by our executive officers is beneficial in aligning management’s and stockholders’ interests in the enhancement of stockholder value. Overall, the intent is to have an emphasis on variable compensation components. The Compensation Committee believes this philosophy and structure are in the best interests of our stockholders.

Bonuses. The Committee has followed a policy of setting bonus plans for the executive officers, based on the overall performance of Zomax as well as the individual performance of the executive officers. The 2005 bonus plan had two components for cash bonuses, one based on achievement of certain performance objectives measured in the two primary areas of revenue growth and profitability, and the other involving the grant of discretionary cash bonuses. No bonuses were awarded under the 2005 bonus plan. The Committee has recently approved the 2006 Executive Officer Bonus Plan, with the primary purpose of retaining key executives while keeping them focused on strategic development and execution and conserving cash. This 2006 bonus plan provides for cash and equity incentives tied to performance. With respect to the cash incentive, up to 50 percent of an executive officer’s total cash bonus opportunity (i.e. 50-70 percent of base salary) is payable based upon the achievement of specified strategic objectives, and up to 50 percent is payable upon the achievement of a specified financial objective related to EBITDA. With respect to the equity incentive, each executive officer receives restricted stock awards of between 100,000 and 150,000 shares that vest up 50 percent upon the achievement of specified strategic objectives and up to 50 percent upon the achievement of specified financial objectives related to EBITDA, operating results and revenue.

Stock Options and Other Incentives. We have long-term incentive equity plans for executive officers and other employees. The objectives of the program are to align executive and stockholder long-term interests by creating a strong and direct link between executive pay and stockholder return, and to enable executives to develop and maintain a long-term ownership position in our Common Stock.

Our equity plans authorize the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to award stock options and restricted stock awards to executive officers and other employees. The options are granted at an exercise price equal to

9

the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant and generally vest over a period of three to five years. The amount of stock options and/or restricted stock awarded is generally a function of the recipient’s salary and position.

Benefits. Zomax provides medical and insurance benefits to its executive officers, which benefits are generally available to all Zomax employees. Zomax has a 401(k) plan in which all qualified employees, including the executive officers, may participate. The amounts of perquisites allowed to executive officers, as determined in accordance with rules of the SEC, did not exceed 10% of salary in fiscal 2005.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation. Anthony Angelini has served as our Chief Executive Officer since February 1, 2004. His compensation was determined in accordance with the policies described above as applicable to all executive officers. In arriving at Mr. Angelini’s compensation, the Compensation Committee took into consideration his leadership and his commitment to the development of a corporate strategy designed to generate improved financial performance. In 2005, Mr. Angelini’s base salary was set at $450,000, as it has been since February 1, 2004, and he was granted an option to purchase 150,000 shares at $2.88 per share. The Compensation Committee did not award a bonus for 2005 performance to Mr. Angelini. For additional information, see the section of this Proxy Statement entitled Executive Compensation – Employment Agreements and Termination of Employment Arrangements.

Summary. Aggregate executive compensation was $955,542 in fiscal 2005. Other than a $60,000 signing bonus given to Mr. Barnes, no bonuses were awarded to the executive officers for 2005. In addition, options to purchase an aggregate of 440,000 shares were granted to the executives of Zomax in fiscal year 2005. The Compensation Committee intends to continue its policy of paying competitive base salaries, basing bonuses on performance and granting options and/or restricted stock awards to provide long-term incentive.

Employment Agreements and Termination of Employment Arrangements

Anthony Angelini. The employment agreement dated April 14, 2005, as amended, with Anthony Angelini, our President and Chief Executive Officer, provides for a one-year term, which agreement is automatically extended for additional one-year terms unless either party gives the other a three-month notice that the agreement will not be extended. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the initial and current base salary is $450,000. In addition, Mr. Angelini is eligible to receive an annual bonus pursuant to criteria set by the Compensation Committee each year. If Mr. Angelini’s employment is terminated by Zomax without cause, by Mr. Angelini for good reason, upon Mr. Angelini’s death or disability, by either Zomax or Mr. Angelini within one year after a change of control or as a result of Zomax giving Mr. Angelini a notice that the agreement will not be extended at the end of its current term, Mr. Angelini is entitled to (i) an amount equal to 2.125 times his then current annual base salary, (ii) acceleration of the vesting of all equity awards held by him and (iii) health care benefits for 15 months (18 months if agreement not extended because of Mr. Angelini’s death or disability). For one year following Mr. Angelini’s termination of employment with Zomax, he has agreed that he will not compete with us, solicit any of our employees to leave Zomax or interfere with our relationship with our customers.

Richard D. Barnes. The one-year employment agreement dated August 22, 2005, as amended, with Richard D. Barnes, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will be automatically extended for additional one-year terms unless either party gives the other a three-month notice that the agreement will not be extended. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the initial base salary is $275,000. In addition, Mr. Barnes is eligible to receive an annual bonus pursuant to criteria set by the Compensation Committee each year. Mr. Barnes also received a sign-on bonus of $60,000, paid upon his first day of employment with Zomax. If Mr. Barnes’ employment is terminated by Zomax without cause,  by Mr. Barnes for good reason, upon Mr. Barnes’ death or disability, by either Zomax or Mr. Barnes within one year after a change of control or as a result of Zomax giving Mr. Barnes a notice that the agreement will not be extended at the end of its current term, Mr. Barnes is entitled to (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times his then current annual base salary, (ii) acceleration of the vesting of all equity awards held by him and (iii) health care benefits for 12 months (18 months if agreement not extended because of Mr. Barnes’ death or disability). For one year following Mr. Barnes’ termination of employment with Zomax, he has agreed that he will not compete with us, solicit any of our employees to leave Zomax or interfere with our relationship with our customers.

Michael L. Miller. The employment agreement dated April 14, 2005, as amended, with Michael L. Miller, our Executive Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Business Development, provides for a one-year term, which agreement is automatically extended for additional one-year terms unless either party gives the other a three-month notice that the agreement will not be extended. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the initial base salary is $300,000. In addition, Mr. Miller is eligible to receive an annual bonus pursuant to criteria set by the Compensation Committee each year. If Mr. Miller’s employment is terminated by Zomax without cause, by Mr. Miller for good reason, upon Mr. Miller’s death or disability, by either Zomax or Mr. Miller within one year after a change of control or as a result of Zomax giving Mr. Miller a notice that the agreement will not be extended at the end of its current term,  Mr. Miller is entitled to (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times his then current annual base salary, (ii) acceleration of the vesting of all equity awards held by him and (iii) health care benefits for 12 months (18 months if agreement not extended because of Mr. Miller’s death or disability). For one year following Mr. Miller’s termination of employment with Zomax, he has agreed that he will not compete with us, solicit any of our employees to leave Zomax or interfere with our relationship with our customers.

Robert Rueckl. Zomax entered into a Separation Agreement and Release with Robert Rueckl, formerly our Chief Financial Officer, which provided that, effective August 12, 2005, Mr. Rueckl’s employment with Zomax was terminated. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Rueckl received a severance payment equal to 0.7 times his base salary and all outstanding stock options held by Mr. Rueckl became fully vested at that time. Zomax and Mr. Rueckl also agreed to a mutual release of claims against one another.

Change of Control Arrangements

Our 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) provides that, in the event of an acquisition of Zomax through the sale of substantially all of our assets and the consequent discontinuance of its business or through a merger, consolidation, exchange, reorganization, reclassification, extraordinary dividend, divestiture or liquidation of Zomax (“change of control”), all outstanding options under the 1996 Plan shall become exercisable in full. Options granted outside of the 1996 Plan have similar change of control provisions. The acceleration of the exercisability of outstanding options may be limited, however, if such acceleration would subject a participant to an excise tax imposed upon “excess parachute payments.”  The Board may also decide to take certain additional actions, such as termination of the 1996 Plan, providing cash or stock valued at the amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock over the exercise price, or allow exercise of the options for stock of the succeeding company. Our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan provides that, unless otherwise provided in an agreement with a participant, the Board has complete discretion as to the outstanding awards in the event of a change of control transaction. The employment agreements with each of our current executive officers contain change of control provisions as described above.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, we believe that, during fiscal year 2005, all officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners complied with the applicable filing requirements.

Certain Transactions

During fiscal 2005, Zomax had the following transactions with Phillip T. Levin, a principal stockholder and former director of Zomax:

•Pursuant to an Office/Warehouse Lease, as amended (the “Lease”), between Zomax and Nathan Lane Partnership, LLP, of which Mr. Levin owns a one-third interest, we lease approximately 82,000 square feet of space. The base rent under the Lease is $8.03 per net rentable square foot per annum, and we are obligated to pay taxes and operating expenses. The Lease expires on December 31, 2006.

•RNR, Inc., of which Mr. Levin is the Chief Executive Officer, a director and sole shareholder, purchases products from Zomax from time to time. Sales to RNR during 2005 were $44,000. We believe that the terms of these transactions were no more favorable than sales to other parties.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

(Proposal #3)

General

Deloitte & Touche, LLP serve as our independent registered public accounting firm. A representative of Deloitte & Touche is expected to be present at the 2006 Annual Meeting and will be given an opportunity to make a statement regarding financial and accounting matters of Zomax, if he or she so desires, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from our stockholders.

The Audit Committee recommended the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2006, and the Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders ratify such appointment. The ratification of Deloitte & Touche as the independent registered public accounting firm for Zomax requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, provided that such majority must be greater than 25% of our outstanding shares.

Audit Fees

We paid the following fees to Deloitte & Touche, LLP for fiscal years 2004 and 2005:

	2004		2005
Audit Fees	$	366,708	$	1,012,805
Audit-Related Fees	2,507		0
Tax Fees	83,379		228,313
All Other Fees	30,850		111,829
	$	483,444	$	1,352,947

Audit fees are for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, our controls and procedures and review of financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including services for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. The 2005 audit fees include fees related to the 2004 year-end audit, including fees associated with the restatement of certain financial information. Audit-related fees are primarily for services in connection with various merger and acquisition related activities. Tax fees include fees for services provided in connection with tax planning, tax compliance and foreign tax issues. All other fees are primarily for litigation support in 2004. The 2005 all other fees are primarily for due diligence in connection with the review of potential acquisitions and litigation support.

The Audit Committee has considered whether provision of the above non-audit services is compatible with maintaining accountants’ independence and has determined that such services are compatible with maintaining accountants’ independence.

12

Pre-Approval of Audit Fees

Pursuant to its written charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed for Zomax by its independent public accounting firm or any other auditing or accounting firm.

Report of Audit Committee

The Board of Directors maintains an Audit Committee comprised of three of the outside directors of Zomax. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee believe that the Audit Committee’s current member composition satisfies the rule of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) that governs audit committees, Rule 4350(d)(2), including the requirement that audit committee members all be “independent directors” as that term is defined by NASD Rule 4200(a)(14).

In accordance with its written charter (set forth in Appendix A hereto) adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors with fulfilling its oversight responsibility regarding the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of Zomax. In performing its oversight responsibilities regarding the audit process, the Audit Committee:

(1)reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management;

(2)discussed with the independent auditors the material required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61; and

(3)reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by the Independence Standards Board’s Standard No.1, and discussed with the independent auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence.

During 2005, management completed the documentation, testing and evaluation of Zomax’s system of internal control over financial reporting in response to the requirements set forth in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations. The Audit Committee met periodically, both independently and with management, to review and discuss Zomax’s progress on complying with Section 404, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2 regarding the audit of the internal control financial reporting. The Audit Committee also met periodically with Deloitte & Touche, LLP, Zomax’s independent registered public accounting firm to discuss Zomax’s internal controls and the status of its Section 404 compliance efforts. At the conclusion of the process, management provided the Audit Committee with a report on the effectiveness of Zomax’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee continues to oversee Zomax’s efforts related to its internal controls.

Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
