Plain Egg Cartons

Yes, and it is worth specifying if labeling is the plan. A flat top gives a genuinely flat label area rather than a slightly domed one, which improves both application accuracy and adhesion at the label edges. The flat top profile is covered on the molded pulp vintage egg cartons page.

No. It comes off the same mold, at the same fiber density, with the same top load performance. The only difference is that no print pass was applied. Buyers sometimes assume blank means seconds or overruns, and that is a different product category entirely which we do not sell.

Blank carries our lowest minimum because there is no tooling or plate cost to recover. It is the right product for a first order while you test a format. We would rather supply a small blank run and have you come back than push a printed minimum onto a buyer who is still deciding.

 General purpose permanent acrylic adhesives on uncoated paper face stock perform well. Avoid removable adhesives, which never develop sufficient bond on a porous surface, and avoid film face stocks, which lift at the edges. Your label supplier will know these as standard options; the substrate to specify is uncoated paper.

 No. Blank means blank, including no supplier identification, no mold numbers visible on the outer faces, and nothing on the base. Distributors reselling under their own name need that to be absolute, and we treat it as such rather than leaving a small mark somewhere.
