The Italian wood packaging industry occupies a leading role in Europe and focuses its production on a collection of reference standards that describe the fundamental principles for designing industrial packaging made with lumber, plywood and OSB. The national standard framework, mainly based on UNI 9151 and UNI 10858, has been developed from the need for containers for the shipment of machines and equipment of any size, shape and weight in the global market. The main aim is to ensure maximum protection of goods and safety of operators in charge of the handling and transport of wooden packaging (boxes, crates, etc.). As for structural uses in building, the wood packaging industry adopted the concept of allowable stress design for approximately 50 years. Recently, the introduction of the limit states design according to the Eurocode 5 (EN 1995-1-1) and the availability of CE marked products have offered an opportunity to optimize the design not only of timber structures but also of some critical applications in the field of industrial packaging. In this context, a great effort has recently been dedicated to update the above mentioned national standards in order to implement them with the introduction of CE marked lumber and wood-based panels. The present paper describes the Italian standard framework for the industrial wood packaging and illustrates its evolution and new opportunities.Talijanska industrija drvene ambalaže ima vodeću ulogu u Europi i svoju proizvodnju temelji na zbirci referentnih normi kojima se uređuju temeljna načela projektiranja industrijske ambalaže izrađene od drva, furnirskih ploča i OSB-a. Nacionalni normativni okvir, uglavnom utemeljen na UNI 9151 i UNI 10858, razvijen je zbog potrebe za kontejnerima u kojima se strojevi i oprema različite veličine, oblika i težine otpremaju na svjetsko tržište. Glavni je cilj proizvođača ambalaže osigurati maksimalnu zaštitu robe i sigurnost osoba zaduženih za rukovanje drvenom ambalažom (kutijama, sanducima itd.) i za njezin transport. Kao i za konstrukcijsko drvo u graditeljstvu, tako je prije otprilike 50 godina industrija drvene ambalaže prihvatila koncept projektiranja ambalaže utemeljen na dopuštenom naprezanju. U novije se vrijeme uvodi model projektiranja prema graničnim stanjima, sukladno normi Eurocode 5 (EN 1995-1-1), i dostupnost proizvoda s oznakom CE, što je prilika ne samo za optimizaciju projektiranja drvenih konstrukcija već i za neke kritične primjene, posebice u području industrijske ambalaže. U tom kontekstu u proteklom je razdoblju uložen veliki napor da se navedene talijanske norme ažuriraju kako bi se implementirale istodobno s uvođenjem CE oznake za drvnu piljenu građu i ploče na bazi drva. U radu se opisuje talijanski normativni okvir za industrijsku drvenu ambalažu i prezentira njegov razvoj i nove mogućnosti
