A package which is easily opened without visualization is provided by providing a plurality of tear-initiating areas on one edge of the package and on any other edge of substantially similar shape and length. The package comprises two adjacent sheets joined at the margins to provide a sealed compartment for an object, such as a sterile suture, between the sheets. One edge of the package is provided with a plurality of tear-initiating areas, such as slots or notches, and the package is opened by tearing through that edge. By providing a plurality of notches on the edge, it is unnecessary for the user to hold the edge at a single, precise point on that edge thus rendering it virtually unnecessary to look at the edge during tearing. In order to render it unnecessary to visualize the package during tearing, all edges of the package, or at least each edge that is the same shape and length as said one edge, is provided with a plurality of tear-initiating areas in the same manner.
