RICHMOND, Va., June 29 -- Cadmus Communications Corporation announced that its Specialty Packaging operation, also known as Cadmus Whitehall, was named a winner of the 2003 Verizon Supplier Excellence Award for Environmental Excellence. Jane Bullis, Vice President of Sales, and Jeff Espin, National Account Sales Representative, accepted this prestigious recognition. Cadmus is one of only 20 global suppliers and the only print manufacturing and packaging company to have received this award and recognition.

"Their commitment to service and environmental excellence help meet the needs of our customers and support our business objectives."
