      Re: Gunther International, Ltd.


Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We have acted as counsel for Gunther International, Ltd., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration by the Company
(the "Registration") of up to an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), as described in
the Company's Registration Statement being filed on Form S-3 this date under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Registration Statement").

      In connection with the following opinion, we have reviewed the
Registration Statement and are familiar with the action taken by the Company to
date with respect to the approval and authorization of the Registration. We have
examined originals, or copies, certified or otherwise authenticated to our
satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company, agreements and other
instruments, certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of
the Company and such other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for
the opinion hereinafter expressed. We are furnishing this opinion in connection
with the filing of the Registration Statement.

      Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, upon the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the shares of Common Stock proposed
to be registered by the Company under the Registration Statement will be, when
sold, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

      We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement.

                                 Very truly yours,

                                 MURTHA CULLINA LLP
