egg box

Dozen-holder for breakfast

An egg box is a container designed to hold eggs, typically made of molded cardboard or foam with individual compartments that cushion each egg during transport and storage.

In British English, egg box is the standard term; Americans usually say egg carton.

The bumpy texture of egg box material sometimes appears in soundproofing applications.
