SunDance has expanded its in-house packaging capabilities with the installation of the latest XL-DR pouching machine from SunCentre USA, an Illinois-based producer of high-quality machinery for pouch making, pour spout insertion, precision slitting, and more.

“SunDance has been at the forefront of advances in flexible packaging and flexible pouches for more than six years,” said JohnHenry Ruggieri, SunDance president. “We understand the intense competition our clients face every day, and we are committed to offering the widest array of packaging options to support their product marketing and sales objectives with industry-leading turnaround times.”

SunDance first introduced flexible packaging capabilities in February 2020. The company has since added multiple materials, laminations, finishes, closures, and other options, including the unique Pouch, MagneClose, and spouts. In March 2026, SunDance won a Flexible Packaging Association Achievement Award for Shelf Impact.

The newest pouching equipment is capable of producing all conventional stand-up pouches, including registered gussets, inserted-side gusset pouches, terminated and non-terminated side-gusset bags, and bag-in-bag formats, as well as applying a broad selection of closures.
