          COMPLETES $125 MILLION OFFERING OF SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

RICHMOND, VA -- June 1, 1999 -- Cadmus Communications Corporation (NASDAQ NMS:
CDMS) announced today that it has completed its offering pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933 of $125 million aggregate principal amount of
9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2009. J. P. Morgan Securities and First
Union Capital Markets were the underwriters of the offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior
Subordinated Notes to repay $110 million of bridge loan notes issued in
conjunction with its purchase of Mack Printing, with the balance of the proceeds
repaying revolving bank borrowings under its bank credit facility. The credit
facility repayments do not permanently reduce the commitments under the credit
facilities.

The repayment of the bridge loan notes will result in an extraordinary after-tax
charge in the fiscal fourth quarter of approximately $0.8 million, or $.09 per
diluted share.

C. Stephenson Gillispie, Jr., chairman, president and CEO of Cadmus, commented,
"We are pleased to have successfully raised this long-term capital, on
attractive terms and at an attractive rate. These notes solidify our capital
structure and, together with our new $200 million bank credit facility, provide
adequate capital for Cadmus going forward."

Gillispie added, "This offering is an important step in the strategic
repositioning that we announced in February. Since that time, we have purchased
Mack, divested our Financial Communications and Custom Publishing businesses,
and effected a complete refinancing of the Company. As a result, we are now a
much larger, less volatile, and more profitable business, with leading and - in
the case of our research journal business - dominant positions in the markets we
serve."

Cadmus Communications Corporation provides customers with integrated, end-to-end
communications solutions. The Company is organized around two primary business
sectors: Professional Communications, serving customers who publish information,
and Marketing Communications, serving customers who convey marketing messages.
