[0048] FIG. 1 shows a schematic perspective illustration of a three-dimensionally shaped packaging base 1, which consists of a leaf material of a plant.

[0049] The packaging base 1 forms a receptacle for an item (not illustrated) in the region of a base accommodating or base bearing surface 2, for example for accommodating a food. The base bearing surface 2 is surrounded by a base rim 3, which extends diagonally upwards starting from the base bearing surface 2 in the illustrated embodiment. A corner region 5 is formed peripherally between the base bearing surface 2 and a proximal rim section 4 of the base rim 3 with respect to the base bearing surface 2.

[0050] A packaging lid 6 is assigned to the packaging base 1 to form a packaging, which packaging lid is folded according to FIG. 1 by means of lateral folding of folding elements 7, which are arranged along a peripheral edge 8 of a lid element 9, to form a folded lid 10, which is shown in FIG. 2. By means of the folding of the lateral folding elements 7 along the edge 8, which can be provided with folding lines, an accommodating space 11 is created in the interior of the folded lid 10, which opens towards the base bearing surface 2, when the folded lid 10, as shown in FIG. 2, is arranged on the packaging base 1, in such a manner that distal rim sections 12 of the lateral folding elements 7 come to bear in the corner region 5, so that the packaging lid 6 is fixed in its relative position with respect to the base bearing surface 2. The packaging lid 6 can then no longer slip to the side on the base bearing surface 2. For additional securing of the arrangement with packaging base 1 and packaging lid 6, a sleeve 13 is provided in FIG. 2, which surrounds the packaging base 1 and packaging lid 6 arranged thereon.

[0051] According to FIG. 1, connecting elements 14 are provided between adjacent lateral folding elements 7, which are moulded onto the adjacent lateral folding elements in one piece and fold inwards during folding, so that they are no longer visible in the folded lid 10 (cf. FIG. 2). The connecting elements 14 support stiffness and thus the mechanical stability of the packaging lid 6.

[0052] in the various embodiments, the connecting elements 14 can have an adhesive on the surface at least in certain regions, for example a glue, so that at least the adjacent connecting elements 14 can be formed to adhere to one another when they come to rest against one another.

[0053] The packaging lid 6 and/or sleeve 13 are made from a recyclable material, for example paper or paperboard.

[0054] FIGS. 3 and 4 show further embodiments for the packaging with packaging base 1 and packaging lid 6 and sleeve 13, wherein in the embodiments in FIG. 4, a viewing window 15 is formed in the region of the lid element 9 by means of an opening in the lid element 9, which viewing window can be open or closed, wherein a closed window may for example be covered with the aid of a transparent (recyclable) plastic material.

[0055] FIG. 5 shows packagings without additional securing by means of the sleeve 13, wherein the packaging base 1 and packaging lid 6 have a round or triangular base.

[0056] FIG. 6 shows schematic perspective illustrations of different packagings, in which base bearing part surfaces 2a, 2b are formed on the three-dimensionally shaped packaging base 1, which are separated from one another with the aid of a separating web 16 which may also be regarded as a fillet or partition wall. Packaging part lids 6a, 6b are assigned to the container accommodating part surfaces 2a, 2b and arranged thereon in such a manner that the distal rim section 10 comes to bear in the corner region 5.

[0057] FIG. 7 shows further embodiments for the packaging lid 6 with lateral folding elements 7 in the non-folded state.

[0058] FIG. 8 shows a schematic perspective illustration of a packaging base 1 having first securing elements 17 and a packaging lid 6 having second securing elements 18. The first securing elements 17 are formed as recesses 19 in the base rim 3 and the second securing elements 18 are formed as projections 20, which are configured to respectively engage in the recesses 19 and/or to be accommodated in the recesses 19.

[0059] The projections 20 are respectively arranged on distal folding elements 21, which are respectively formed in one piece or integrally on one of the lateral folding elements 7. The distal folding elements 21 can be formed by folding at the distal rim section 12 of the respective lateral folding element 7. The projections 20 respectively extend at distal ends of the distal folding elements 21.

[0060] FIG. 9 shows a schematic illustration for producing the packaging for an item by means of additional securing elements 17, 18. The folded packaging lid 6 is placed onto the packaging base 1 in such a manner that the projections 20 engage into the recesses 19 and the packaging lid 6 is secured on the packaging base 1 in this manner,

[0061] FIG. 10 shows a schematic illustration of an arrangement of packaging lid 6 and packaging base 1 including securing elements 17, 18 in different perspectives,

[0062] FIG. 11 shows packaging including securing elements 17, 18, wherein packaging base 1 and packaging lid 6 have a round, triangular, square or rectangular base and/or a plurality of base part bearing surfaces/container accommodating part surfaces 2a, 2b.

[0063] FIG. 12 shows packaging including securing elements 17, 18, wherein viewing windows 15 are additionally provided.
