Open Egg Cartons with Decorated Eggs
Protective packaging plays an essential role in keeping fragile eggs safe during storage and transport. Shown from directly above, an opened pulp egg carton features individual molded compartments and wide dividing ridges designed to hold large Easter eggs securely.
The Invention of the Molded Egg Carton
The modern egg carton was invented in 1911 by Joseph Coyle in British Columbia to solve a dispute between a local farmer and a hotel owner over broken eggs. Made primarily from recycled molded paper pulp or pressed cardboard, the individual dimples absorb mechanical shocks and prevent shells from touching one another. The dimpled shape also allows air circulation, which helps keep fresh eggs dry and cool during storage.
Natural Materials and Colors of Cartons
- Molded paper pulp carton: light gray, neutral beige, or soft brown cardboard
- Recycled fiber packaging: dull matte gray or off-white paper texture
- Unbleached eggshells: warm tan, speckled brown, or bright white
