An Open Easter Egg Carton
This illustration features a standard egg container shown open from a slightly elevated angle. The structure includes individual compartments crafted to hold fresh or decorated eggs securely in place.
The Invention and Science of Egg Cartons
The molded paper egg carton was invented in 1911 by newspaper editor Joseph Coyle to solve a dispute between a farmer and a hotel owner over broken eggs. Made primarily from recycled newsprint and molded pulp, egg cartons absorb shocks and prevent fragile shells from impacting one another. Today, egg cartons serve both as household food containers and popular bases for spring craft projects.
Typical Colors of Egg Cartons
- Molded paper carton: light gray, soft beige, or off-white cardboard
- Foam egg carton: pale yellow, white, or light sky blue
- Recycled pulp interior: muted grayish brown
- Decorative eggs inside carton: pastel pink, light green, baby blue, or cream yellow
