Egg Plastic Tray Description

The egg plastic tray is a carefully crafted container made from PET plastic, designed to safely store and transport eggs. It typically features a grid of individual compartments, each shaped to hold a single egg securely. These compartments prevent eggs from shifting, bumping into each other, or getting damaged during handling. The trays are stackable and available in sizes that can hold 10, 12, 15, 30, or more eggs. Unlike cardboard or pulp trays, plastic trays are waterproof, easy to clean, and resistant to crushing. They provide a cost-effective, reusable, and durable solution for storing and transporting eggs with care and confidence.

Egg Plastic Tray Features

Protection and Reduced Breakage

Egg plastic trays feature individual pockets that keep eggs separated, reducing movement and contact that can cause cracks during handling and transport. Many designs focus on “protection during transportation” to minimize breakage.

Stackable and Nestable for Space Saving

A key advantage is how easily plastic egg trays can be stacked when empty, which increases storage capacity, stabilizes transport loads, and reduces clutter in retail and back-of-house storage.

Reusable with Extended Service Life

Durable plastic trays and crates are built to be reusable and washable, making them ideal for farms, grading stations, and distribution centers where cleaning and reuse are essential.

Clear Visibility and Enhanced Merchandising

Transparent PET-style plastic egg packaging and trays enable quick visual inspections, such as detecting cracks or quality issues, and improve retail displays without needing to open packages repeatedly.

Moisture Resistance

Plastic egg trays and cartons are less likely to be damaged in humid or damp environments, helping to preserve their structure where moisture could weaken paper-based options.
