                  FORM OF LETTER FROM BROKERS OR OTHER NOMINEES
                              TO BENEFICIAL OWNERS

                            __________________, 2001

To Our Clients:

      Enclosed for your consideration are the prospectus dated August __, 2001
(the "Prospectus"), and the "Instructions as to Use of Gunther International,
Ltd. Subscription Certificates" relating to the offer by Gunther International,
Ltd. (the "Company") of shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common
Stock"), at a subscription price of $.50 per share, in cash, pursuant to
non-transferable subscription rights (the "Rights") initially distributed to
holders of record ("Record Owners") of shares of Common Stock as of the close of
business on August __, 2001 (the "Record Date").

      As described in the Prospectus, you will receive 3.728 non-transferable
rights for each one share of Common Stock carried by us in your account as of
the Record Date. You will not receive fractional Subscription Rights, but the
Company will round your number of Subscription Rights up to the nearest whole
number. You are entitled to subscribe for one (1) share of the Common Stock for
every whole Right granted to you (the "Basic Subscription Privilege") at a
subscription price of $.50 per share (the "Subscription Price"). You will also
have the privilege (the "Over-Subscription Privilege"), subject to proration, to
subscribe for shares of the Common Stock available after satisfaction of all
subscriptions pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege ("Excess Shares"), at
the Subscription Price. If there are insufficient Excess Shares to satisfy all
exercised Over-Subscription Privileges, Excess Shares will be allocated pro rata
among all the holders of the Rights exercising Over-Subscription Privileges,
based on the ratio that the number of available shares bears to the total number
of shares which all Record Owners exercising Over-Subscription Privileges seek
to purchase. Priority for the subscription of shares pursuant to
Over-Subscription Privileges will be given first to those stockholders who fully
subscribe for shares pursuant to his or her respective Basic Subscription
Privilege. Your election to exercise the Over-Subscription Privilege must be
made at the time you exercise the Basic Subscription Privilege.

      The materials enclosed are being forward to you as the beneficial owner of
the shares of Common Stock carried by us in your account but not registered in
your name. Exercises and sales of the Rights may be made by only us as the
record owner and pursuant to your instructions. Accordingly, we request
instructions as to whether you wish us to elect to subscribe for any shares of
Common Stock to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the enclosed Prospectus and "Instructions as to Use of
Gunther Subscription Certificates." However, we urge you to read these documents
carefully before instructing us to exercise the Rights.

      Your instructions to us should be forwarded as promptly as possible in
order to permit us to exercise Rights on your behalf in accordance with the
provisions of the offering described in the Prospectus. The offering will expire
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September
   2
__, 2001 unless the offering is extended by the Company. Once you have exercised
a Right, such exercise may not be revoked.

      If you wish to have us, on your behalf, exercise the Rights for any shares
of the Common Stock to which you are entitled, please do instruct us by
completing, executing and returning to us, and not the Subscription Agent, the
instruction form on the reverse side of this letter along with proper payment
for the number of shares for which you are subscribing at the Subscription
Price. If we do not receive complete written instructions, we will not exercise
your rights, and your rights will expire without value.

      Any questions or requests for assistance concerning the offering should be
directed to the Company's Subscription Agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company Attn: __________ (800) _____ _______.
