Help Your Customers Find The Way
SunDance has quickly become a leader in the directional signage market. Through large projects with hotels and hospitals, stadiums and universities, SunDance has helped clients every step of the way from concept and design to the manufacturing and installation of high-quality wayfinding signs. While these larger projects can be largely custom-made pieces, many rely on standard hardware or sign systems available from third-party vendors such as SignPro Systems. SunDance then produces the custom graphical elements to complete a cost-effective yet professional standardized sign system for any sized project or budget. We can even help with delivery and installation at your location, even if you're not in the Central Florida area.
The latest styles of these type of signs that have been coming through our print shop have been so impressive that we had to share a few of our favorite new designs. Of course, we always love the challenge of a custom directional sign project, however being the most effective we can be for our clients is truly the bottom line. Saving money here may free up the budget for the next marketing project on your list. Contact us today to discuss this project, your next one, or your entire list. That's what we do here at SunDance.

SunDance Makes FDA Printing Easy
SunDance has been leading the way in the FDA or Food Safe Printing revolution, rising to the occasion for customers from large chains and restaurants all the way down to caterers and wedding parties. While we’ve created some incredibly unique pieces like the edible cookbook for Stouffer, more often we’ve saved the day with less inspired pieces that simply needed to be there.
Last year, we began to regularly stock our popular food safe lightweight boxboard because we were ordering it so often for customer jobs. Keeping it in stock has allowed us to turn around some exciting projects in record time.
We’re happy to announce the same for our 50# food safe paper, typically used for tray liners at your favorite fast food dinning establishments. After so many tray liner orders, we have decided to add it to our regularly stocked line of food safe papers so that it's available whenever necessary.
While we order specific paper for most jobs, stocking paper as part of our regular inventory allows us to have it on hand for short runs or even to prototype samples that require a fast turnaround.

Leading the Way with FDA
When most printers hear the words “ink” and “food” in the same sentence, they turn and run in the other direction. SunDance took on the challenge!
A few years ago, our management identified the FDA Printing and Packaging market as an area desperately in need of qualified print service providers. Our customers were concerned about the liability in printing products associated with food… We consistently had questions like… How do I know if I’m using the right certifications? Does the temperature of the food matter? What kind of paperwork do I need? What if someone’s dog ate my packaging? -- That last one was 100% real... don’t worry, the dog is fine!
Not a single one of our customers has the time to spend hundreds of hours researching FDA guidelines. We MADE the time. We WELCOMED the training. We ENGAGED the experts. Guided by Professional FDA consultants and FDA Focused Legal Firms, SunDance put in the time and performed hands-on testing in our production facility and ultimately set out to market our new services.
Today, we have active FDA customers coast-to-coast. Every project is different, and FDA standards are ever-changing, we closely monitor changes and new regulations. Don’t let uncertainty about the FDA Printing standards hold you back from moving your company forward. Let SunDance be your FDA Solutions Specialists!
Leading the Way with Personalized Automation Solutions
SunDance recently participated in the Printing Industries of America 'Automation Ready' Conference and Resource Exchange. Managing Director JohnHenry Ruggeri served as one of the Printing Panelists sharing some of SunDance's case studies highlighting the ways we use automation to help clients streamline their process for more effective business solutions.
During the exchange, JohnHenry discussed how SunDance continually seeks new ways to help our customers automate and innovate, specifically addressing the data management challenges many of our clients face. Our goal is to incorporate automation into our customer-focused, solutions-based model. This allows us to create fully customized and automated programs to manage and analyze data for more effective and targeted campaigns.
Contact your SunDance customer service representative today to learn more about how you can use automation to increase your marketing success with SunDance.
Custom Trade Show Displays
Innovation at SunDance comes from fostering a culture of creativity and experimentation. That creativity brings you the latest unique offering from SunDance.
A client challenged us to create a transparent sign with letters that seemed to float. When we delivered and set up the finished pieces, our team was inspired. We knew with just a little modification we would have the expo display our trade show clients needed.
We went back to the shop to create a deceivingly sleek and straightforward base design on which we could add any combination of things such as shelves on one side or both, document pockets, graphics or even lights.
