Solid Top Egg Carton

Eggs from your own flock deserve a carton that's ready to go. This solid-top carton holds a dozen eggs in natural gray paper made from 100% reclaimed paper, and the top is left blank so you can mark it for your own use. Gather the eggs, set them in, and close the lid.

It comes with the FDA safe handling instructions and keep refrigerated warnings already printed, so the reminders travel with the eggs. The carton isn't tied to one egg size, so it works for the range of eggs your hens lay. It's a simple way to keep a dozen together from the nest to the fridge.

Highlights

• Keeps a dozen eggs together from nest to fridge
• Made from 100% reclaimed paper
• Blank solid top for your own mark
• Works for a range of egg sizes
• Safe handling instructions and refrigeration warning printed on it

Why a carton for farm eggs

Once the hens settle into a laying routine, eggs pile up faster than you expect. A carton keeps them together, easy to count and easy to carry. Loose eggs roll around a basket or a fridge shelf and knock into each other, and a carton keeps them in place.

Cartons also keep your eggs organized. A dozen in one carton is simple to track, to hand off to a neighbor, or to stack in the fridge, and the blank top gives you room to write the date. It's a small thing that saves time at every collection.

Who it suits: small flock keepers who share or sell extra eggs, families with a few layers, and anyone who wants farm eggs packed the way they'd buy them at the store.

How to use it

Pack the carton as the eggs come in.

1. Set each egg in its cup, one egg per cup.
2. Write the date or a mark on the blank top, so you know which eggs came first.
3. Close the lid and keep the carton in the fridge.

Good to know

• Keep the carton dry. Wet paper softens and loses its shape.
• Store the carton away from strong smells, since eggs pick up odors through the shell.
• Pair it with ceramic nest eggs from the same aisle, and keep a few cartons ready for the next collection.
