From May 27 to 30, 2025, IPACK-IMA returns to Milan, confirming its role as one of the most important packaging fairs in Europe. Hosted at Fiera Milano Rho, the event will bring together global leaders in packaging innovation, automation, and material technologies across industries, from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Spotlight on Innovation and Sustainability
This year’s edition places a strong focus on smart packaging and sustainability, two key drivers reshaping the future of the sector. Visitors can expect new solutions in recyclable materials, biodegradable films, and energy-efficient machines. One of the highlights is the dedicated Innovation Hub, where startups and established players alike will showcase cutting-edge developments in AI-driven quality control, digital twins, and robotic systems.
What’s New in 2025
Among the major novelties, IPACK-IMA 2025 will introduce a new thematic area entirely focused on green transition technologies, featuring exhibitors committed to low-impact production processes and circular economy principles. The “Sustainability Lab”, in particular, will offer live demos and expert panels on eco-design, life cycle assessment, and compliance with the upcoming EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
A Cross-Sector Experience
The event continues to offer an integrated view of the packaging supply chain, with co-located exhibitions such as Pharmintech and Intralogistica Italia, enriching the visitor experience. For industry professionals, this is a unique opportunity to explore synergies across automation, traceability, and logistics.
As the countdown begins, IPACK-IMA 2025 promises to deliver a forward-looking view of packaging as both an industrial process and a vector for environmental responsibility.
