Molded Pulp 4 Egg Carton

Many breeders use them for exactly that, inside an outer box. The deep cell immobilizes the egg, which matters more for hatch rate than cushioning does, since it is movement and rotation that damages the air cell. We do not make hatch rate claims, since outcomes depend on handling and transit time well beyond the packaging.

Tighter, proportionally. The compact footprint and simple 2×2 geometry give a very clean nesting profile with no interrupting features. On a per egg basis, four counts occupy more container volume than a dozen because you ship three times as many cartons for the same eggs, so the freight advantage runs the other way.

Yes. Custom pigment matching runs at a higher minimum than stock colors because the pulp slurry has to be batched specifically. Send a Pantone reference or a physical sample and we will produce a match sample before the full run. Expect a slight variation between pulp and a printed reference, since pigment behaves differently in fiber than in ink.

Because four count buyers are usually packing larger eggs. Duck, jumbo, and heritage breed eggs all need more depth than a commercial large chicken egg. We cut the four count to the larger specification so it fits the products that actually ship in fours, rather than optimizing it for an egg size that rarely uses this format.

Not as a standalone parcel. It handles compression well but it has no drop protection at the corners, and parcel networks drop packages routinely. Use it as the inner carrier inside a rigid outer box with void fill. In that configuration it performs better than foam inserts and costs less.
