The present invention concerns a packaging for a suture, the packaging comprising: • a base (1) comprising a receiving area (6, 8) for receiving a suture, • a lid (62), • means for locking the lid (62) to the base (1), comprising a first slot (58) formed in either one of the base (1) and the lid (62), and a first tab (72) formed in the other one of the base (1) and the lid (62), wherein the shape and dimensions of the first tab (72) are suitable for: • being engaged through the first slot (58) when the lid (62) has a first orientation relative to the base (1), then • being blocked across the first slot (58) by rotating the lid (62) from the first orientation to a second orientation of the lid relative to the base in which the lid at least partially covers the suture receiving area (6, 8).
