STOUFFER'S 'YOU CAN COOK' PROJECT
Congratulations to Wing, a division of Grey Advertising group, for bringing home a Bronze Cannes Lions Award for their Stouffer’s 'Cookbook You Can Cook’ project. The cookbook also received two shortlist awards at the prestigious 2017 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. We are proud to have the opportunity to partner with Wing to execute their unique vision of an FDA-friendly cookbook, featuring food-safe ink and ‘cookable' paper. SunDance took on the challenge of creating an in-house “clean room” and worked around the clock with live-streaming access to stay in constant communication with the agency. We are so excited to see the team's hard work pay off!
At SunDance, we love when our clients come to us with their biggest ideas and challenges, and we appreciate that Wing trusted us to help execute this award-winning cookbook. Here’s to many more award-winning projects in the future!

SunDance Honored with Three FSEA 2017 Gold Leaf Awards in Annual Event
Orlando, FL (12 June 2017) - SunDance (sundanceusa.com), an Orlando-based firm offering design, print and mailing services, today reported that it was the recipient of three prestigious Foil & Speciality Effects Association (FSEA) Gold Leaf awards, chosen from more than 300 entries from around the world across 36 different categories. The 24th Annual Gold Leaf Awards were presented at an Awards Banquet during the IADD•FSEA Odyssey on May 17-19.
Since its inception in 1992, the Foil & Specialty Effects Association has worked toward industry awareness and growth. It serves as a resource and educational platform for decorating technologies, including foil stamping, embossing, cold foil technologies, specialty coatings, laminates and laser cutting.
"We are again honored to have received these awards," said JohnHenry Ruggieri, Managing Director. “I especially want to congratulate our creative and production teams, who again have excelled on behalf of our customers, our company and the industry as a whole. You can be sure we will again enter the competition next year, and I am sure we will have more stunning examples to submit.”
Video - Laser Cut Acrylic Box
Recently we hosted our friends from Factur, a local builder-driven fabrication lab here in Orlando, to develop an acrylic version of a project from Bob Barnett. Bob's Bug Box design is incredibly unique and uses a three piece sliding door mechanism sometimes called to the "Torggler system."
Here at SunDance, we have a history of trying new things with our equipment all the time, so this was something that seemed a perfect fit for SunDance. We're working on some other fun filled projects with Bob such as a dinosaur mask and a robotic telescope. Stay tuned for updates on those. Granted, it's not what you'd hear from most printers. But, then again, SunDance isn't like most printers.
If you're working on a unique design for a client, or for yourself, send us your ideas. We would love to help you turn them into a reality.
Thanks again to The Open Gimble Project and Factur for all their help.

SunDance goes paintballing
It's been said a team that shoots paintballs at one another is a team that can accomplish anything! Well, it's possible we just made it up ourselves but we definitely believe it. In fact, several members of the team took to the field with paint guns in hand. After 5 complete games within 4 hours and a bunch of bruises, we're ready to do it again another day.
Teamwork and collaboration are not only learned on the job but also outside through recreational events such as this one. We work harder, play harder, and get up each day eager to do it all over again
