Merrill Corporation Announces Agreement with Wellpoint

Merrill Corporation to provide marketing and communication solutions for
Wellpoint`s members who are under the age of 65
ST. PAUL, Minn.--(Business Wire)--
Merrill Corporation, (www.merrillcorp.com), a leading global provider of
technology-enabled services for the legal, financial, real estate, healthcare
and other corporate markets, today announced they are providing marketing,
on-demand print and mailing and document fulfillment solutions for Wellpoint,
Inc.`s, (www.wellpoint.com) under the age of 65 market segment.

Wellpoint was challenged with rolling out a new personalized enrollment kit to
their members and prospective members. The kits needed to be produced and
distributed in a short period of time to ensure they were first to the market.
Assembling the personalized kits was a highly complex process that involved many
different combinations of materials as well as multiple language variations.

"Merrill Corporation provided key recommendations to help us produce these
highly personalized kits accurately and launch them to the market quickly," said
Kathleen Robertson, marketing and fulfillment director consumer business. "They
understand the tools that can reduce our expenses, increase our revenue and
ultimately help our business grow."

The relationship has been so successful that Wellpoint has added other products
to the initial launch. During the next 18 months, Wellpoint will be rolling out
a new product to 14 states as well as launching a new market segment and Merrill
will produce the needed materials.

"Wellpoint, Inc. has been a great organization to work with and we`re looking
forward to finding more ways our data and document management solutions can help
them continue to reach their goals," said Roy Gross, president of Merrill
Corporation`s Marketing and Communication Solutions business unit.
