Visit www.packagingautomation.net and you’ll find a new website archiving current and back issues of this popular online magazine, Packaging Automation. PA is published by the same people who bring you packworld.com, Packaging World and Automation World magazines, and the Packaging Automation Forum.

PA’s searchable archive site is helping packaging machinery specifiers and builders research innovative, modular machinery and automation trends in the packaging industry.

Beginning its third year, Packaging Automation is sponsored by ELAU, the only company to specialize in automation systems that are purpose-built for packaging machinery.
PA consistently scores high with readers in terms of editorial subject matter and relevance because it reports on automation in the context of business strategies, industry trends and the machinery attributes that matter to packagers. Through its sponsorship, ELAU achieves its goal of highlighting dozens of its customers’ capabilities each year.
