What ENNIS puts in, and what the plan costs
What ENNIS put into the plan, per active participant
$1,027
ENNIS, INC. put $1,027 into this plan for each of its 1,816 active participants in plan year 2024. This is the whole employer side of the plan: matching money, profit sharing, non-elective and safe-harbor contributions, and reallocated forfeitures. The Form 5500 does not separate them, so this is what the employer put in and not the match.
ENNIS put in less per active participant than 86% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants in industrial and materials manufacturing. The middle plan in that group of 766 reported $2,514. Industrial and materials manufacturing comes from business code 323100, which ENNIS entered on its own Form 5500. Sponsors pick that code themselves, so a code that does not describe what the employer does ranks the plan against the wrong companies.

What this figure cannot separate: how much ENNIS pays, and how much it puts in
This is dollars, not a rate. A Form 5500 carries no payroll, so the figure reflects both how much the employer puts in and how much the employer pays: two plans running the same formula report different amounts when one pays better. Crossing the peer group with industry holds most of that difference still, and none of it disappears.
This is one plan year, not an average. A true-up, a plan merger or a one-off contribution moves a single year on its own.

What ENNIS puts in
Not stated in the filing
The match rate is set at the company's discretion each year, and the filing does not state the rate it used.
The Form 5500 for this plan reports what ENNIS actually paid in: the figure and its peer comparison are above. It is the whole employer side of the plan on one line, so it answers what went in rather than what the formula promises.
Two places state the terms in full: your plan’s Summary Plan Description, which your employer must provide on request, and your recordkeeper’s site, the one you log in to for your balance.
What you contribute to collect all of it
Not stated in the filing
The filing does not state the contribution rate that collects the full employer contribution.
Vesting score
100 out of 100
How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. Higher than 48% of the 369 schedules we have scored.
It measures vesting speed and nothing else. It says nothing about the size of the match, what the plan charges, or the funds inside it.
Share of the employer's money that is the worker's at hire and at each of the first 6 anniversaries: 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.
Vesting, word for word
“Participants are immediately vested in their salary deferrals, rollover contributions, and employer matching contributions. Profit sharing contributions vest over a 5-year graded vesting schedule as defined in the Plan document. Special vesting schedules ranging from 3 to 6 years apply to certain employees based on their location as defined in the Plan document.”
A worker hired today collects no match for 2 months. This is a filed term, and it does not move the score above.
Eligibility, word for word
“Employees age 18 and older of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan and receive matching contributions the first of the month after completing 60 days of service, as defined by the Plan.”
The wait before the match starts and the year-end true-up appear above when the filing states them. Neither is part of the score, and a filing that is silent on one of them is not a plan without it.
What the plan costs, against plans of its size
47th percentile
$80.49 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, cheaper than 53% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.
What is ENNIS' 401(k) match formula?
ENNIS sets its 401(k) match at its own discretion each year and does not state the rate in this filing. A discretionary match is set again each year, so the rate in force lives in the plan document rather than the filing. The four shapes a formula takes is what to look for when you read one.
| Conditions | The Company makes discretionary matching contributions at a rate determined by the Plan Sponsor for certain employees not enrolled in the Pension Plan for the Employees of Ennis, Inc. The total matching contributions are not to exceed $2,500 annually. |
|---|---|
| Other employer contribution | Employees are eligible to receive discretionary profit-sharing contributions, if granted, after completing 1,000 hours within their first 12 months of service. |
| Other employer contribution | Each year, the Company may at its discretion, make profit sharing contributions for the plan year not to exceed certain limitations prescribed by the IRC. |
| Other employer contribution | During 2025, the Company declared a discretionary profit-sharing contribution of $126,249 on behalf of the employees of Northstar Computer Forms, Inc. in accordance with its original plan; this contribution was contributed to the Plan in 2026. |
| Other employer contribution | During 2025, the Company contributed $149,209 which was declared in 2024. |

What is ENNIS' 401(k) vesting schedule?
ENNIS vests the employer match immediately: 100% is yours as soon as it is paid in. Nothing is forfeited when you leave, which is not true of the two schedules that vest over time.
| Employer match vesting | Immediate: employer match is 100% vested when contributed |
|---|---|
| Your own contributions | Immediate: always 100% yours |
| Other employer contributions | Profit sharing contributions vest over a 5-year graded vesting schedule as defined in the Plan document. Special vesting schedules ranging from 3 to 6 years apply to certain employees based on their location as defined in the Plan document. |
