A package for a flat medical implant (190) includes a flexible outer component (50), such as Tyvek®, including a first panel (52) and a second panel (94) foldable over said first panel for closing the package, and an inner component (120), such as paper, mechanically interlocked with the flexible outer component. A flat medical implant is held by the inner component. While the outer and inner components remains mechanically interconnected to one another, the upper ends of the first and second panels of the outer component are peelable away from one another for opening the package and accessing the flat medical implant at an upper end of the package.
