Take your Direct Mail Campaign to the Next Level
Direct Mail is more effective than ever! During 2020’s insane ride through quarantine, isolation, and the sheer desire for outside contact, direct mail has increased. Over the past decade marketing has become a sophisticated multi-channeled approach to reach clients by using direct mail, media and digital. But with the recent events and quarantines corporations realized the need for a more tactile experience with their clients stranded at home. Direct mail is always been a very effective way of communicating with a trackable response rate whether being by incentive offer, redirect to the web or scannable QR/bar codes.

Expand Your Color Space and Horizons with 6 or 7 Color Printing
Generally speaking, more is more, right? Nowhere is this aphorism truer than in the world of color. Gone are the days of having to print strictly in plain old boring 4 color CMYK color space.

That’s where 6 and 7 color presses come in, and at SunDance, we not only have the ability to print with 6 and 7 color presses - we also know how to use them.

Why Is Design So Important?
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “don’t judge a book by its cover.” While that’s an important rule in polite society, it goes right out the door when it comes to retail applications.
How many times have you chosen a bottle of wine, based on the interesting label alone? Or selected a new haircare product because the package stood out on the shelf against all others? Hopefully in those instances, you were also pleased by what was inside. But it only emphasizes the importance of great design to make your product stand out from the competition.

Converting SunDance Waste Into Fuel Cubes
In SunDance’s effort to be environmental champions we are constantly on the lookout for more sustainable ways to utilize or dispose of the byproducts from our print processes. While we use sustainable practices in the plant to conserve resources and recycle waste as much as possible there are just some items such as wooden skids and polymers that are problematic. Fortunately, we have found a partner that can utilize some of our wastes in the manufacture of fuel cubes that create a new product from our unwanted and unusable high-energy materials.
