                    CADMUS COMMUNICATIONS COMPLETES AMENDMENT
                         TO SENIOR BANK CREDIT AGREEMENT

RICHMOND, VA (June 24, 2002) -- Cadmus Communications Corporation (Nasdaq/NM:
CDMS) today announced that it has successfully completed an amendment of its
senior bank credit agreement which matures on March 31, 2004. The amendment adds
flexibility for the Company primarily in connection with total leverage
covenants. In addition, the Company reduced its revolving credit commitment from
$105 million to $78 million, which equals the total amount previously available
for borrowing. The Company had $22.6 million in borrowings under the senior bank
credit facility at March 31, 2002. The lower commitment will reduce annual
commitment fees by $0.2 million and will require a write-off of $0.3 million in
deferred loan costs in June 2002.

Stephen E. Hare, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, "We
have been successful in reducing our debt during this fiscal year which, in
combination with this amendment, provides the Company with additional financial
flexibility to support future growth."
