Local Delivery

While SunDance works with large freight shipping companies and carriers such as FedEx, UPS, and USPS, to get jobs to their final destination, we also offer local delivery to our clients across the Central Florida area.

From our shop centrally located in south Orlando, we’re just minutes from the Orange County Convention Center, Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, and Downtown Orlando. We regularly make deliveries beyond that to Daytona Beach, Melbourne, Kissimmee, Tampa, Lakeland, Mount Dora, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs and Sanford.

We’ve just added a full-sized box truck to our fleet of vans, making just about any delivery possible locally at any time of day. If it’s delivering your presentation materials to your hotel, a dozen boxes to your home or office, or hundreds of boxes to your distribution center or convention expo, we have you covered. We can even facilitate and negotiate delivery and set up at convention centers and event spaces.

We fully understand the importance of meeting deadlines and we will make sure to do whatever is possible to get your job delivered on time. Day or night. When a trade show needs to have a daily magazine delivered before attendees arrive in the morning, SunDance works through the night to make it happen. When a school district requires last-minute changes to student planners needed on the first day of school, SunDance delivers.

While you can find other printers, you won’t find a partner in your business like SunDance. Contact us today to find out more about what we can do for you.

Spiral and Ring Binding

SunDance offers Saddle Stitching and PUR Perfect Binding, but spiral and ring binding offer quick, cost-effective methods to produce a wide array of professional-looking pieces in large or small runs. Unlike most printers, SunDance offers a number of bindery options in-house, reducing shipping costs and turnaround time, while maintaining the highest level of quality assurance.
Read on to find out more about these processes, or contact us right now to find out which bindery option is right for you and your project.

Spiral, Plastic Coil and Spiro Binding

Spiral binding is most commonly found in notebooks. The immediately identifiable and universally accepted platform is done by drilling holes in the paper stack, then feeding a coil through the holes and pinching down the ends. The final product is a light to medium-duty product that can serve as a book or be used to dispense paper. Micro-edge cutting makes the pages tear away cleanly or a thicker stock makes pages less prone to tears.
The coil in Spiral bound materials can be made of metal, plastic coated metal or even plastic, some under product names such as Spiro. Decisions on the specific type should be made based on the final usage of the product, shipping and storage concerns, and the desired product lifespan.
From company booklets to notebooks or even standardized forms, metal or plastic coil spiral binding may be the right choice for you.

Wire-O Binding

Wire-O is a brand name product made of metal coils that do not rotate but create a static spine and teeth upon which the paper or covers glide. It makes for an extremely professional presentation, even on a budget. While the paper is similarly drilled like the spiral, the spines are inserted through and then secured together around the paper. The spines can be reopened to add or remove pages, making it extremely versatile in uses such as restaurant menus or hotel room service books. Wire-O bound books are usually stronger than spiral bound materials and have a more expensive feel.

Concealed Wire-O Binding

Hiding the Wire-O binding behind a cover creates a gorgeous new way to raise the production quality of any piece. By connecting to the binding on the back, the cover can then overfold the piece, creating a faux outer boxed spine that wraps around the Wire-O. This spine can even have cutouts, exposing the internal spine for an impressively unique look with the right color combinations.

Ring Binding & Circa Disc

The 3-Ring Binder is a staple in schools, business, presentations and even scrapbooks. The classic 3-ring bound folder has three rings that open and close to lock in the materials. However, there are many different styles and hole pattern systems to pick from, depending on the end product and media size. Other styles with solid rings and notches called Circa Discs create an elegant fresh look, while being versatile enough to easily add or remove pages. The cover of your binder can be made out of just about any substrate, from vinyl wrapped cardboard to PVC printed on either side. As well, there are different ways to look at the binder, including flaps, pockets or fasteners. The traditional spine mechanism does not have to be applied to the cover spine, but can be applied to the back of your cover, or the back of your piece with no cover at all.

GBC & Plastic Comb Spine Binding

GBC is a manufacturer that produces a plastic comb style spine bindery system. The plastic comb is a one-piece spine with teeth that are fed through the drilled holes in the paper. While the GBC system was once very popular due to its cost-effectiveness in producing professionally bound materials in small office settings, it’s no longer commonly used in professional printing.

Drug Safe Packaging for CBD and Cannabis

CBD, Cannabis & Drug Safe Packaging

Packaging in the CBD, Recreation and Medical Marijuana market is extremely important and should be representative of your brand both on the shelf and online. Brand consistency is crucial for establishing credibility and reliability with your product and will shape the customer experience and perception. The specific laws of the jurisdiction where your product is sold may differ and might require different compliance labeling. However, the rules for the types of ink and substrates used in the packaging and contents is regulated by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) under food and drug safe packaging. Beyond the necessary compliance, SunDance ensures all your printing meets your brand standards while adhering to drug safe packaging regulations. CBD and Marijuana products require considerations for the lifetime of the product, from the packaging plant to the distributor, through shipping, perhaps on a shelf, and beyond to the lifespan of the product in the hands of the consumer. Products like capsules, oils and salves with a longer shelf-life need to maintain their look throughout and maintain a level of brand consistency.

What Exactly is Food and Drug Safe Packaging?

Under the US Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the FDA regulates food and drug packaging on products sold in the United States. These cover a wide array of safety concerns in the manufacturing process as well as the life of the product. Any packaging coming into direct or indirect contact with food, drugs or medical devices must use approved inks, additives, coatings and substrates.

What Needs To Be Food & Drug Safe?

Everything involved in CBD products, Recreational Marijuana or Medicinal Marijuana products, from the shrinkwrap to the box, labels, bottles, instructions, coupons, literature, etc. which in whole or in part accompany your product should all abide by the FDA standards for food and drug safe printing.

Indirect Contact v. Direct Contact

Indirect contact is defined by anything that could come close to the product at any point during its manufacturing, distribution, sale or consumption. This could be anything in the manufacturing or bottling process such as labels, safety seals or tearaway shrink sleeves, including anything that holds your product such as the band sleeve, retail box or dispenser, the label on the bottle or anything associated with it. Direct contact is easier to define as it’s anything that will touch the product, such as a bag, container, dosing card, or wrapper.

Prototyping to Production

SunDance has a number of printing processes under one roof, making it the ideal place to both prototype your products and manufacture the final run. We can even do short runs to get your product to market faster without having to print thousands of them. Beyond that, SunDance is here to produce your packaging on any scale you need. Send us your ready files or engage the SunDance Creative team which has a long history of product prototyping and production design.

SunDance’s Commitment To Food Safety & Food Safe Packaging

SunDance combines our expertise in digital printing, packaging design and high-quality lamination with the newest food and drug safe inks, substrates and coatings. SunDance takes the safety of your product extremely seriously throughout the entire process from the actual design and printing through to production considerations, including clean room capabilities where necessary.

Texture & Pattern UV Printing

Textured UV Printing with Engraved Rollers

UV printing techniques can create additional dimension and raise the value of any printed piece. When used wisely, it can make elements stand off the page, or give additional texture, transforming the tactile effects of a piece.

Through printing, UV coatings are applied to pieces in a number of ways. Digital UV printing can be done in smaller runs, while inline and finishing processes can handle larger jobs. However, repeated patterns such as linens and scallops, water droplets and orange peels can be applied across an entire piece utilizing an engraved roller system.

The engraved roller or texture roller can be applied inline, meaning on the printing press, to save time and additional finishing processes, or applied later on another machine with various other finishes such as soft touch laminate or varnish knockouts to create something entirely unique.

Engraved texture rollers run much like a standard roller in the process, but apply the pattern in a UV coating to create a 3D effect. When applied, the UV leaves a clear coat in specific areas, leaving the desired pattern. The benefits of using this system range from the speed of application to eliminating or reducing additional processes. Arguably though, the main benefit is standardization, allowing the rollers to be used on small to large jobs without incurring the costs of customization.

This means that the same linen roller pattern used on a well-known hotel chain’s collateral can also be used on a short run of a few thousand business cards or other smaller jobs. This makes the engraved pattern roller system more economical, but also incredibly ecological in that it reduces the need to create multiple dies and the number of applications necessary in a particular run.

UV coatings can range in their clarity, color, texture and even additions. Some have flecks of glitter while others are soft to the touch. Some examples include a piece with soft touch laminate which has high gloss scallops across the piece or another that has soft touch laminate applied in a linen pattern. The options are limitless, giving you a plethora of options in changing the feel and look of a piece.

When creating your next piece, contact SunDance to see what patterned rollers you might be able to include in your design. We can even set up the patterns in small runs for prototyping when necessary, making our print shop a design to production powerhouse.

Contact us today to get more information on the available patterns or to discuss the design of your next project.

Geo Mapping

Geo Mapping is the latest innovation in direct mail and an exciting new way to make personalized direct mail pieces even more effective for location-based businesses. Imagine being able to send a bulk mailing to your entire list with a personalized message for each recipient including your nearest location. Now you can.

By using specialized geo-mapping software that runs the mailing list against your locations, and an effective design to properly leverage the dynamic content, a direct mail piece can now include the nearest location with a picture, contact information, hours and even the distance and directions. When you take advantage of distance calculation in geo mapping, it's even possible to create a personalized map on each piece you send out; from your end user, right to the front door of your nearest location. This is a game changer which can only increase response rates.

Variable data used to personalize direct mail pieces has been proven to increase response rates. Including the end user’s name in the piece, their city or other specific information increases the value of the touch point. However, combining that variable data with location-specific results truly unleashes the power of personalization.

This makes it possible for chain and multi-location businesses such as retail, restaurants, services such as automotive, or even healthcare networks to transform every individual piece they mail into a personalized experience, directly connecting with the end user like never before.

From the nearest restaurant to the closest oil change shop or even the nearest emergency medical facility, this additional aspect allows a large run piece to be personalized, providing a better user experience and making concerns about inbound response a thing of the past. Additionally, there’s no longer a need to design for and dedicate large areas of a piece to maps intended to explain your location from the point of view of your entire metro area. Now you can give end users a personalized map from their location.

Even if your business relies on predetermined territories, such as pizza delivery, real estate firms or companies with sales territories, geo mapping can be combined with the territory data to create the same effect, giving the end user the proper location with distance and directions.

Temporary locations such as Realtor listings, seasonal shops and stands, or even one-time events can utilize geo mapping to get the word out about a specific location at exactly the right time. Now every mailbox within a mile or ten miles from your location can receive directions and a map to your location.

The possibilities are actually limitless with the progression of ever-evolving technologies. This includes the ways they are used or in combination with other data or processes. You may very well have an even better way to leverage the technology in your project. Or bring us your project and let us come up with solutions for you. Being on the cutting edge of innovation means experimenting on the path to further honing our craft and the ways we can utilize the latest technology to provide better results for our clients on every mailing.

Reach out today and together let's explore all the options available for your next direct mailing, from planning to designing, mailing and even implementing reporting techniques to determine effectiveness.
