                        CADMUS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
                        ANNOUNCES ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES

RICHMOND, VA, May 30, 1996 -- Cadmus Communications Corporation announced today
a realignment of its business groups and several related leadership changes.

Cadmus has divided its former Print Group into two new business groups, a
Graphic Communications Group and a Periodical Group, to accompany its existing
marketing and publishing groups. The Graphic Communications Group embodies the
Company's promotional printing, financial communications, specialty packaging,
point-of-purchase, and media replication product lines, as well as print
production facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Charlotte, North Carolina; Richmond,
Virginia; and Baltimore, Maryland. The Graphic Communications Group is also
responsible for developing and delivering full-service solutions to the
Company's Fortune 1000 customers. Total annual sales for this group are
approximately $130 million.

The Periodical Group includes Cadmus Journal Services and the Company's magazine
printing product line. Cadmus Journal Services is comprised of the operations of
the Company's recent acquisition, Lancaster Information Group, as well as
operations in Richmond, Virginia and in Easton and Baltimore, Maryland. Total
annual sales for the Periodical Group are approximately $205 million.

The Company has two other business groups: marketing and publishing. The
Marketing Group, with annual sales of approximately $35 million, consists of the
Company's direct marketing, interactive, and catalog product lines. The
Publishing Group, with annual sales of approximately $22 million, consists of
the Company's consumer and custom publishing product lines.

In  connection   with  these   changes,   the  Company   announced   several
leadership  and organizational changes.  Michael Dinkins,  formerly Cadmus' vice
president and chief financial officer,  has been named group  president for the
Graphic  Communications  Group.  Mr. Dinkins joined Cadmus in 1994. In addition,
the Company announced that David G. Wilson,  Jr. has been named group  president
for the Periodical  Group.  Mr. Wilson,  who has been with Cadmus since 1963,
will  continue to serve as  president  and chief  executive  officer of Cadmus
Journal Services.  Bruce  Thomas,  who will  continue to serve as Cadmus'  vice
president  of law and development,  also has been named chief  financial
officer.  Mr.  Thomas has been with Cadmus since 1992.

In making this announcement, Steve Gillispie, chairman, president, and chief
executive officer of Cadmus, commented, "We are working to increase
accountability for the management of both manufacturing and human resources.

alignment and the focus necessary to improve the delivery of full-service
offerings to our customers. Also, we anticipate that the new structure will
improve manufacturing efficiency, increase utilization rates, and lower capital
and operating costs throughout Cadmus." Mr. Gillispie continued, "We are also
enthusiastic about the appointments we have made. Bruce, Dave and Michael are
deeply committed to Cadmus and share our vision to make Cadmus a preferred
source for 21st century graphic communication and marketing solutions. They
