Awards: SunDance Wins Best Packaging and More at Florida Print Awards
SunDance is proud to share that we once again brought home top honors at the annual Florida Print Awards, hosted by the Florida Graphic Alliance. This event celebrates the very best in Florida’s printing and graphic communications industry, bringing together top talent, bold ideas, and award-winning craftsmanship. To be recognized among the best is always an honor, and being recognized across so many categories is especially rewarding.
This year, SunDance was recognized with multiple prestigious awards, including two top distinctions that reflect both our technical expertise and creative design capabilities.
Best of Show – Division 3
The Best of Show award was presented to SunDance for our production of Current Magazine for our client Perkins & Will. This standout piece incorporated advanced finishing techniques, including:
- Foil stamping in dark green and clear
- Embossing and debossing for tactile detail
- Multiple paper substrates throughout the text pages
The result was a magazine that not only told a story visually but elevated it into a true coffee table-worthy piece.
Best Packaging Overall
We were also honored with the Best Packaging award for a custom sleeve and tray box set produced for UCF’s Exolith Lab. Designed with functionality and elegance in mind, the box featured custom compartments to perfectly cradle the bottles placed inside. This piece exemplified the thoughtful engineering and premium finishing SunDance brings to every packaging project.
Multiple Wins Across Categories
Beyond these top awards, SunDance was thrilled to receive recognition across a wide range of print categories, underscoring our versatility and expertise:
- 45 entries received Best of Category
- 21 entries received an Award of Excellence
- 6 entries received a Judges Award
Each of these honors highlights the dedication of our talented team and the trust our clients place in us to bring their visions to life.
