product details

1.Clamshell Design

The one-piece hinged structure integrates the base and lid in a single molded unit, eliminating the need for separate components. The lid snaps shut with a self-locking mechanism that keeps the box securely closed during handling, stacking, and transport. The hexagonal shape distinguishes it from conventional square or rectangular egg cartons, offering a unique shelf presence that appeals to premium and specialty food markets.

2.14 Individual Egg Cavities

Each of the 14 cavities is precisely contoured to cradle a single quail egg, preventing contact between eggs and minimizing the risk of cracks and breakage. The cavity depth and wall geometry are optimized for standard quail egg sizes, ensuring a snug fit that immobilizes eggs during transit.

3. Wet Pressing Technology

The wet press process produces a dense, smooth-surfaced fiber structure with high rigidity and excellent shock absorption. Compared to dry pressed alternatives, wet pressed pulp offers superior dimensional accuracy, a refined finish, and enhanced structural strength. The result is a box that resists deformation under stacking pressure while maintaining a pleasant tactile quality.

4.Material Composition

The box is manufactured from a blend of sugarcane bagasse fiber and bamboo pulp. Both materials are rapidly renewable agricultural byproducts that require no deforestation. The natural off-white color with subtle fiber texture conveys an organic, artisanal look that aligns with farm-fresh and organic branding.

5.Key Performance Features:

1.Shock Absorption: The natural fiber matrix absorbs impact energy, reducing egg breakage rates during shipping and handling.
2.Breathability: Molded pulp's micro-porous structure allows air circulation, reducing condensation inside the box and helping maintain egg freshness.
3.Stackability: The rigid construction and flat lid surface allow stable stacking of multiple boxes for efficient storage and display.
4.Food Safety: Manufactured in food-grade facilities, free from bleaches, fluorescent agents, and plastic additives. Compliant with FDA and EU food contact standards.
