egg boxes

Dozen-holder containers

Egg boxes are cartons designed to hold eggs, typically made of molded pulp or plastic with individual compartments that cushion each egg during transport and storage.

The distinctive shape of pulp egg boxes—rows of peaks and valleys—makes them useful for acoustic dampening, often repurposed in makeshift soundproofing: The studio walls were lined with egg boxes.
