| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Commitments and Contingencies | (16) Commitments and Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into real property leases, which require the Company as lessee to indemnify the lessor from liabilities arising out of the Company’s occupancy of the properties. The Company’s indemnification obligations are generally covered under the Company’s general insurance policies. From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Ennis and one of its subsidiaries are defendants in a lawsuit in Arizona concerning the lease of the former B&D Litho facility that was closed in 2019. The plaintiff landlord generally alleges that the defendants failed to maintain the leased premises in good condition. The landlord sought more than $4.0 million in repair costs and other consequential damages even though the landlord sold the facility without making the supposedly necessary repairs. The Company has denied the landlord’s allegations and is vigorously contesting the landlord’s unreasonable claim. The Court has made a preliminary ruling that defendants failed to maintain the facility’s air conditioning equipment, paved surfaces and roof in good condition even though the landlord had assumed responsibility for some of those maintenance obligations. There was a non-jury trial of the case in March 2026 at which the judge dismissed the landlord’s claim that the Company failed to maintain the premises during the tenancy. The landlord also abandoned some of the alleged categories of damages. The landlord’s other breach of contract claim that the Company failed to surrender the property in good condition remains pending. Initial post-trial briefs are due by June 30, 2026 and a final decision is not expected before the fourth quarter of the 2026 calendar year. The Company has accrued a liability reserve of approximately $0.5 million related to this claim. |
