The packaging for Ardmona's tinned tomatoes, featuring pictures of growers with their families, has been designed to boost its appeal as a paddock-to-plate brand as SPC rolls out its latest advertising campaign.

The label draws the eye on-shelf with text above the family photograph reading 'The Kennedy Family' or 'The Weeks Family'.

The campaign follows SPC’s 2015 #MyFamilyCan campaign, which centred around Kialla East peach and pear grower Gary Godwill.

SPC's latest ad campaign closes off the first season of its new $36 million tomato processing plant.

Recently, SPC won an anti-dumping case against the last two of 105 Italian producers who were proven to have been illegally dumping excess product in Australia over many years
