Pack-Media Srl
The publishing house Pack-Media srl was founded at the beginning of 2018. Gathering the legacy of Edizioni Dativo (a company founded by Stefano Lavorini over 30 years ago), it is faithful to its history and origins, proposing editorial products on paper and on the web, solely focused on the world of packaging.
To mark the continuity, Stefano Lavorini has taken on the role of managing and editorial director of the new company, bringing with him the staff and co-workers who made ItaliaImballaggio one of the sector’s key publications.
Pack-Media is also a convergence of the experiences, skills and international contacts of UCIMA - the Italian Automatic Packaging and Wrapping Machine Manufacturers' Association - that will further promote the dissemination of the publishing house's editorial products internationally.
Pack-Media speaks to the packaging community in Italy and abroad, developing publishing and multimedia activities on an international level. It supports the packaging industry through devising and disseminating editorial content and advertising information, in order to improve knowledge of products and producers. It pursues its objective creating b2b periodicals, both in hard copy and on the web, mainly addressing the consumer goods industry (food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals first and foremost).
