Packaging For An Item And Packaged Item

A packaging for an item, comprising

• a three-dimensionally shaped packaging base made from a leaf material of a plant;
• a base bearing surface 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 formed 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;
• wherein the packaging lid is arranged on the base bearing surface such that the accommodating space opens towards the container bearing surface and distal rim sections of the lateral folding elements, being distal with respect to the lid element, each come to bear in the corner region, such that the packaging lid is fixed on the container bearing surface in its relative position thereto.
