                   CADMUS COMMUNICATIONS COMPLETES AMENDMENTS
                       TO BANK REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

Richmond, Va. (July 11, 2001) - Cadmus Communications Corporation (Nasdaq/NM:
CDMS) ("Cadmus") today announced that it has successfully completed amendments
to its senior revolving credit agreement. The secured facility, which matures on
March 31, 2004, currently provides for borrowings up to $78 million.

Bruce V. Thomas, president and chief executive officer, noted, "We are pleased
that the amended credit facility received unanimous support from our original
syndicate of seven banks, without an increase in the underlying interest rate
spreads or a change in the overall size of the facility.  With only $49 million
in outstanding borrowings under this facility at June 30, 2001, we believe that
the amended agreement provides the capital and financial flexibility necessary
to execute our strategic growth plan."
