egg cartons
Dozen-cell containers
Egg cartons are molded containers designed to hold eggs safely during transport and storage.
The individual cups cradle each egg, preventing them from knocking against each other.
Most are made from recycled paper pulp or foam plastic.
The cartons typically hold a dozen eggs, though half-dozen and larger sizes exist.
Empty egg cartons find second lives in craft projects and seedling starters.
