SunDance Donates to Eagle Creek Elementary School's Literacy Night
SunDance recently donated a large format job for Literacy Night at Eagle Creek Elementary in the Lake Nona neighborhood of Orlando. The life-sized alien cutouts were characters from the children's book Aliens in Underpants by Claire Freedman. The cutouts served as a photobooth for the event which was by all accounts a success.
From Eagle Creek Elementary's Facebook post:
Literacy night was a HUGE success! We welcomed over 150 Panthers to our "Reading is OUT OF THIS WORLD" night. Students ate alien cookies, listened to silly alien stories and shopped our book fair. It was a BLAST!
Make Your Finishing Even Finer with Dimension
Of all the ways to make your printed products stand out, finishing techniques might be the most eye-catching.
Decorative techniques are particularly spectacular. These include foil stamping, embossing, die cutting, and textured coating. All of these finishes enhance engagement by virtue of their unique beauty. They’re visually attractive, but more than that, they add dimension.
Decorative finishing brings a higher value to your materials because of this 3D effect. You can use these finishes on more products than ever before. In fact, the sky’s pretty much the limit. Picture using them on pocket folders, stationery items, business cards, posters and other wall hangings, report covers, books, packaging, labels, and even folding cartons.

Video - Client Testimonial - Customized Party Bibs
A SunDance client gave us the best testimonial after a special request made her event something special:
I loved working with SunDance Marketing Solutions for a last-minute specialty request. I have used SunDance for many previous, more traditional print jobs, but in this case turned to them for a personal request.
I was planning a themed shrimp boil for my husband’s birthday, and a couple weeks before the event, decided I wanted a personalized lobster bib. Even though online companies promised easy and quick turnaround, no one was able to fulfill my needs.
I turned to SunDance Marketing Solutions and within days they took my theme which was “I Don’t Eat With My Hands”, handled the graphics and delivered the perfect personalized lobster bib. Can’t wait to work with them again in the future.
Bring us your ideas and we’ll make them a reality. That’s what we do here at SunDance.

Bethune-Cookman University just completed a huge expansion project adding two new residence halls. This included a campus-wide beautification project in both the new and existing buildings. It did not go unnoticed. It was a big hit even before we had finished installing the job. The concept was to showcase the rich history and tradition of the century-plus institution. Wall Wraps, Acrylic Plaques, Vinyl Applications and more were applied to lobby walls, hallways and stairwells. The final product speaks for itself and will continue to do so for generations to come.

In its Workplace Design Developments for 2016, SBFI reports, “poor workplace design costs U.S. businesses an estimated $330 billion in lost productivity each year.” That’s billion with a “b.”
