One of Weatherchem's customers, Del Sol Food Company, has won the 2009 Package of the Year award from the Association of Dressings and Sauces (ADS), an international trade association of salad dressing, mayonnaise, mustard and other condiment sauce manufacturers and suppliers. Del Sol Food Company won the award for the unique capabilities and design of its BRIANNAS Dressing package, which was made using Weatherchem's innovative LiquiFlapper® closure.

Jerry Brown, President of Del Sol Food Company, complimented Weatherchem for its contribution to the award-winning package.

'Our search for improved packaging and functionality is continuous,' said Brown. 'The challenges of package aesthetics, process compatibility, environmental impacts, pricing and drip free dispensing were all met by Weatherchem's LiquiFlapper cap.'

The LiquiFlapper closure was designed for pourable products such as salad dressings and sauces. The cap is 10% lighter than competitive squeezable flip-top closures and is produced on energy efficient electric presses, and the one-piece design has a durable hinge, opens easily, and closes with a signature audible 'snap' to signify locked-in freshness. The LiquiFlapper features a unique tear-drop shaped orifice and sharp cut-off lip to provide controlled directional flow of liquids.

'Helping our customers develop excellent consumer packaging is why we're in this business,' said Jennifer Altstadt, President of Weatherchem Corporation. 'It's always a great feeling to help one of our customers win international recognition for one of their packages, and this award is well-deserved. Del Sol Food Company is an innovative, forward-thinking, family-owned salad dressing manufacturer with keen instincts for consumer needs and a rigorous approach to process improvement. Weatherchem salutes them for winning the 2009 Package of the Year award.'

Alstadt also thanked TricorBraun, a global leader in packaging distribution, for their efforts in creating the award-winning package. TricorBraun representatives worked with Del Sol Food Company to develop the overall packaging concept for BRIANNAS Dressing, and first suggested the Weatherchem LiquiFlapper cap as an option to include.

'TricorBraun is one of our partners in delivering packaging solutions to our customers, and we thank them for helping to create this award-winning relationship with Del Sol Food Company,' said Jennifer Altstadt. 'As one of the world's largest packaging distributors, the TricorBraun team knows a good closure product when they see it – and we're pleased that they saw the potential of the LiquiFlapper cap and introduced it to Del Sol Food Company.'

LEBANON, Tenn. – On Monday, November 2, between 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM, country music megastar Alan Jackson will meet fans and sign autographs at the Mt. Juliet, TN location of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store®, the day his exclusive Alan Jackson Collection goes on sale nationwide. The collection includes 41 high quality items inspired by Jackson's hometown family philosophy and includes menswear, womenswear, gift items and a new CD, Songs of Love and Heartache, available only at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store locations.

The Mt. Juliet Cracker Barrel location is located at Ext 226 off of I-40. Starting at 6:00 AM, fans can line-up to get a numbered ticket for a place in the autograph line. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Alan Jackson will meet as many fans as possible during the time period and will autograph merchandise that is purchased that morning from The Alan Jackson Collection. Cracker Barrel will continue to serve breakfast throughout the event, which will take place within the retail shop area. Guests will be able to park in the Providence Shopping Mall across the street from Cracker Barrel as shuttle bus service to the restaurant will be provided during this event.

'I grew up in the South, so Cracker Barrel has been a part of my family since I was a young man,' says Alan Jackson. 'I was really flattered when they came to me with the idea of working together to create a collection for their country store, and I've been very impressed with the variety and quality of the items that we have put together. I think my fans and their families will appreciate everything in the collection.'

At the centerpiece of The Alan Jackson Collection is the exclusive Alan Jackson Signature Rocker, a piece of fine quality furniture. Reflecting the earth tones that Alan favors, this solid hardwood rocker is made of Dutch Spruce logs harvested in Maine and hand-assembled in Tennessee. The Danish Walnut finish offers warmth to a room's décor. Alan's authentic signature is engraved in the headrest and each rocker is numbered as part of a limited edition of 1,700. Songs of Love and Heartache includes two previously unreleased songs, 'That's What I'd Be Like Without You,' and 'Nothing Sure Looked Good On You,' as well as 10 other songs, including such hits as 'Here in the Real World,' 'Livin On Love,' and 'Remember When.'
