Historical Trademarks of Made in Italy: Boccia Industria Grafica
The April column of We the Italians magazine takes us on a tour of Boccia Industria Grafica S.p.A. and its PrintlitoArt platform, an Italian excellence that combines tradition, innovation and international vision in the world of printing.
Since 1961, Boccia Industria Grafica S.p.A. has been a leading player in the paper printing sector for the European market, operating in the magazine, book, puzzle and large-scale retail segments, serving publishers and large-scale retailers. Over the decades, the company has collaborated with major international players, including U.S. publishers such as Weider and American Media, printing the European editions of popular titles such as Muscle & Fitness and Shape.
Salerno’s strategic location has made Boccia Industria Grafica a central hub between Europe and the Mediterranean for the printing and distribution of international publications. This is complemented by complete control of the production chain, which enables the company to guarantee high standards of efficiency and quality. Distinctive elements include the presence of presses with a 578 mm cut-off, a technology that places Boccia among the most specialized in Europe.
In a sign of continuity between past and future, the company recently launched PrintlitoArt, the world’s first entirely Made in Italy platform dedicated to art lithography printing. The project creates an ideal bridge between the centuries-old tradition of the Magistri in Arte Cartarum of Amalfi Paper and the contemporary skills of printing masters.
PrintlitoArt is set up as an autonomous division and brand aimed at an international audience that includes companies, art galleries, museums, artists, hotel chains, and cruise operators. The mission is clear: to make art and beauty accessible to an increasingly broad audience through high-quality products made entirely in Italy.
Founded by Orazio Boccia from a small print shop, the company has grown over time to become a modern and technologically advanced industrial reality, without ever losing the link with its artisan roots. Quality, precision, reliability and innovation represent the core values that have guided its development.
Membership in the Association of Italian Historical Trademarks and Museimpresa, together with the creation of the Boccia Industria Grafica Museum, testify to the commitment to the enhancement of Italian industrial culture and the preservation of the historical memory of the printing trade.
Today Boccia Industria Grafica S.p.A. represents a virtuous example of Italian excellence: a reality capable of combining tradition and innovation, consolidating its presence in international markets and contributing to the spread of Made in Italy around the world.
