Abstract: A packaging for an item includes: a three-dimensionally shaped packaging base made from a leaf material of a plant; a base bearing surface, which is formed on the three-dimensionally shaped packaging base and configured to accommodate an item to be packaged; a base rim, which, as part of the three-dimensionally shaped packaging base, surrounds the base bearing surface and forms a corner region between the base bearing surface and a rim section of the base rim, which is proximal with respect to the base bearing surface; and a packaging lid made from a recyclable material, which is provided as a folded lid and in which lateral folding elements are moulded onto a lid element in one piece and are arranged in a folded position to form an accommodating space in the packaging lid

Abstract: A folding lid is presented for covering a container opening made from a recyclable material. The folding lid includes: a base element, an accommodating opening, which is formed in the base element and configured to accommodate a container for an item to be packaged in such a manner that a container opening of the container is arranged in the region of the accommodating opening, and at least three wing elements, which are integrally formed onto the base element circumferentially via a respective folding region along an outer edge of the base element with respect to the accommodating opening; wherein the at least three wing elements can each be pivoted between an open position, in which the accommodating opening is cleared, and a closed position, in which the at least three wing elements cover the accommodating opening completely, wherein adjacent wing elements of the at least three wing elements at least partially overlap in the closed position.

Abstract: A method for producing packaging for an item and to a packaging for an item is provided. The method provides for the following: providing a container material consisting of a leaf material from a plant; shaping the container material into a three-dimensional packaging container having a container opening and a container edge surrounding the container opening; producing a sealing edge on a top surface of the container edge, wherein the top surface of the container edge is sanded down by sanding; placing an item in the three-dimensional packaging container through the container opening and sealing the container opening by a sealing film, wherein the sealing film is adhesively bonded to the sealing edge in an adhesive-free manner.
