Flexible Packaging: Making the Transition PFAS Free Packaging

PFAS is an acronym that encompasses PerFluoroAlkyl (PFA) and PolyFluoroAlkyl Substances (PFAS), tongue-twisters by any standard. This chemical group includes thousands of PFAS that are found in a wide range of consumer, commercial, and industrial products. But what else do we know about PFAS?

For starters, PFAS were first introduced in the 1940s and 50s when manufacturers began shifting their focus from supporting the American war effort overseas to supporting American economic growth and consumer conveniences at home.

Direct Mail: How SunDance Protects Customer Data with SOC 2 TYPE 1 Certification

Direct mail campaigns, as well as email marketing campaigns, rely on databases of customer information that your marketing organization has accumulated and kept current over time. These databases may include customer names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, demographic information, buying habits, and other customer data.

In using and storing this personally identifiable information, you have an obligation to safeguard the data and protect it from loss and theft. As your printing and mailing services provider, SunDance has the same obligation to safeguard this data and maintain direct mail security—and it is a responsibility we take very seriously.

Sustainable Printing: Introducing SunDance's Radiance EcoBoard

SunDance is thrilled to unveil our latest solution, Radiance EcoBoard, designed to elevate sustainability and provide eco-conscious options for wide-format signage and tradeshow displays. For far too long, the choices for rigid portable signage have been limited to polystyrene or ¼" PVC – materials that, despite their convenience and lightweight nature, ultimately end up in landfills, unable to be recycled. And, if the item is being used for shop signage, such as a trade show or other temporary installation, the material may only be used for hours before being discarded in the trash, potentially lasting for hundreds of years in a landfill. At SunDance, we continually seek new ways to innovate and provide more sustainable solutions to the market. Radiance EcoBoard is an outstanding illustration of this commitment.
