eggcrates

Molded cardboard containers

Eggcrates are containers with grid-like dividers that keep eggs separated and protected during transport and storage.

The compartmentalized structure lends the term to other things with similar grids: foam mattress toppers with a bumpy surface, light diffusers placed over fluorescent fixtures, or any organizing tray with rows of cells.
