Seaworthy Egg Packaging: Cartons, Trays and Breakage Prevention

In short: Seaworthy egg packaging uses 30-egg moulded trays stacked into 360-egg master cartons, palletised and secured for ocean transit. Combined with acoustic crack detection before packing, it keeps breakage on arrival within buyer tolerance across long, multi-leg routes.

Key facts
  • Primary pack: 30-egg moulded tray
  • Master carton: 360 eggs (12 trays)
  • Palletised and secured for ocean transit
  • Acoustic crack detection before packing
  • Buyer artwork, batch code and origin marking available

Layers of protection

Protection is built in layers: moulded trays cushion each egg, master cartons of 360 eggs hold the trays, and pallets keep cartons stable against vibration and stacking loads through the voyage.

Reducing breakage on arrival

Breakage is margin lost. Every batch passes acoustic crack detection before packing, and brown eggs' thicker shells add resistance on long chains. See our brown table eggs and quality process.

Labelling

Cartons carry buyer artwork, batch code, grading date and origin marking as required — useful for retail and for traceability. Full detail on packing and logistics and private label.

Questions

Frequently asked

How are eggs packed to survive ocean freight?
30-egg moulded trays in 360-egg master cartons, palletised and secured, with every batch crack-screened before packing to keep breakage within tolerance.
Do brown eggs break less in transit?
Their thicker shells give more fracture resistance, which helps on long, multi-leg routes, though packing and handling matter just as much.
