Method for producing a recess in a packaging piece from a leaf material of a plant

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a recess in a packaging piece from a leaf material of a plant, comprising the following steps: providing a three-dimensionally shaped packaging piece from a leaf material of a plant; providing a negative mould with respect to the inner surface of the packaging piece, wherein the negative mould has a recess; placing the packaging piece onto the negative mould in such a way that the inner surface of the packaging piece abuts on the outer surface of the negative mould and the packaging piece is held on the negative mould using a punch which presses the packaging piece onto the negative mould, wherein the packaging piece covers the recess of the negative mould; and displacing a cutting tool from outside the packaging piece through the leaf material of the packaging piece into the recess of the negative mould, so that a recess in the packaging piece is produced, whereby the negative mould-supports the packaging piece when producing the recess in the packaging piece. Furthermore, a three-dimensionally shaped packaging piece and a packaging for an article are disclosed.
