Edizioni Dativo

Edizioni Dativo is an Italian publishing house based in Milan. It is the publisher behind Impackt, a magazine and web platform devoted to the world of packaging — understood not merely as a technical container but as a cultural, design and communication phenomenon. The Impackt project describes itself as a guide to the packaging industry, aiming to give profile and visibility to a broad and varied sector whose contours and value are often overlooked. Impackt's editorial scope spans packaging design, art, culture, fashion and trends. Its content combines industry news, event coverage and commentary on the ethics and sustainability of packaging. For example, the site has reported on a Venice conference titled "Il Packaging, tanti volti un solo obiettivo" (Packaging, many faces one goal), promoted by the Fondazione Carta Etica del Packaging in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano Imballaggio, featuring speakers from academia, law, business and the arts. According to the publication's own account, Impackt accompanied readers in print and online from September 2017 to May 2018, when the IPACK-Mat exhibition section of IPACK-IMA 2018 took place — a section entirely dedicated to innovative solutions in raw materials, components and high-value-added packaging. The magazine traces its editorial lineage to 2002, when the first issue of Impackt, "Contenitori e Contenuti," was published, with a reflection on packaging as an element of post-industrial daily life. Edizioni Dativo operates in the Italian market as a specialist trade and culture publisher. Its flagship property, Impackt, serves professionals and observers of the packaging industry — producers, users, designers and marketers — while also addressing broader cultural and consumer themes. The company is privately held and, as of available evidence, does not disclose a parent group or stock listing.

Edizioni Dativo is a publishing house based in Milan, Italy. Its best-documented activity is the publication of Impackt, a magazine and web platform dedicated to packaging. The editorial history of Impackt reaches back to 2002, when the first issue, titled "Contenitori e Contenuti" (Containers and Contents), was published. In that first issue, the editors reflected on packaging as an inescapable element of post-industrial life, writing that packaging had evolved from a technical product and specialist discipline for the few into the way people relate to goods, consumption and the world. In its more recent phase, Impackt has positioned itself as a guide to the packaging industry, aiming to give profile and visibility to a complex and varied sector. The publication noted that the Italian packaging industry generated turnover of approximately 32.5 billion euros in 2017. According to the publication's own account, Impackt accompanied readers in print and online from September 2017 to May 2018, when IPACK-Mat — a new exhibition section of IPACK-IMA 2018 entirely dedicated to innovative solutions in raw materials, components and high-value-added packaging — took place at the end of that month. Impackt's editorial content combines industry reporting with cultural and ethical reflection. The website has covered events such as a Venice conference titled "Il Packaging, tanti volti un solo obiettivo," promoted and organized by the Fondazione Carta Etica del Packaging in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano Imballaggio. The event, moderated by journalist Cristina Lazzati, director of MARK UP, addressed topics including green claims, business ethics, sustainable ethical finance and philosophical thought, with speakers from academia, law, business and the arts. The available evidence does not document Edizioni Dativo's founding year, founders, ownership structure or corporate milestones beyond its publishing activity. Wikidata describes it simply as a publishing house based in Milan, Italy. The company appears to operate as a privately held, specialist publisher in the Italian market.
