The invention provides a sterilizable package having a support member and a sheet material that either forms a lidding for the support member or a pouch in which the support member is disposed. The sheet material comprises a barrier material and includes breathable membrane comprising a breathable material that is pervious to moisture and gases, and impervious to microorganisms. The breathable membrane allows a sterilizing gas to be introduced into the sterilizable package. The breathable membrane is disposed towards a central portion of the sheet material and is spaced apart from any seams joining the sheet material to the support member or seams defining the pouch. In one embodiment, a sterilized article is disposed in the interior of the sterilizable package.
