Jul 22 2010 --- Salad dressing, the original inspiration for Newman’s Own, Inc., was first developed in Paul Newman’s basement in 1982. Twenty-eight years and 20 varieties later, Newman’s Own, Inc. continues to nourish the flagship product to ensure the longevity of the founder’s fundamental mantra of ‘from salad dressing all blessings flow.’

New Packaging Dresses Up Dressings

In the heart of salad season, Newman’s Own unveils a new and more vibrant packaging for Newman’s Own salad dressings. Light-white parchment labels help underscore the premium, all-natural look of the brand while unifying the product line and brightly positioning it among a crowded salad dressing aisle.

The new labels maintain a prominent image of Paul Newman as various amusing characters, festooned in a variety of thematic costumes that reflect assorted dressing flavors.

Newman’s Own new dressing packaging strengthens communication of two key points fundamental to the high quality of Newman’s Own products and the philanthropic mission of the company: ‘All Natural’ and ‘All profits to charity.’
