Xl quail egg packaging?

I'm going to move this thread to our Quail forum for more help. I used to order quail eggs from Murray McMurry and they were packed in foam, had holes where they set the eggs in. This helps for different egg sizes. Ive heard of people packing quail eggs in sawdust, keeps them pretty safe too. However hopefully others will chime in with ideas.
 
Hi, I've been selling quail eggs in these packages, but some of the eggs are too large and get crushed by the package. Does anyone have a specific product they can recommend that has slightly larger cells? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08MLDS5VC
Magnolia Quail Farms in Mississippi has 24 pack egg cartons that are about 1/5 larger than the ones you find on Amazon. Even my largest eggs fit in them. The issue I've seen is that smaller eggs can be difficult to remove. They were recommended recently for hatching eggs as well. They're on Facebook, which I'm not, but they responded to an email within a couple of hours.
If you plan to ship your eggs, I'd use the foam that others have recommended, but if you're hand delivering, I think the plastic cartons are adequate.
 
These look like what I ordered from LanSTer if they are they don't work for my jumbo eggs. Might order some and see if they are the same, I have tried many that folks say they have no trouble with but no luck here yet. Haven't tried any pulp cartons yet.
Final thought. I searched for "LanSTer" and discovered that they were one of the brands that I've bought from Amazon. I think you'd be pleased with the "Larger Jumbo" that I've mentioned in other posts.

FWIW, the Magnolia Farms cartons appear to be from the NW Quail Farm that I linked in another comment. In the Jumbo Large carton, the individual cell size is 33 x 45 mm, whereas a typical jumbo carton has cells sized at 29 x 40 mm. I think the extra space works.

Edit to add: The "Larger Jumbo" quail egg cartons on quailcarton.com have the same 33 x 45 mm cell dimensions as what I found on Magnolia and NW Quail Farm. I suspect they're all coming from the same source.
Yep
Every order I’ve placed with NW Quail Farm comes with a 15% coupon for Quailcarton.com

They have molded in lettering on the hinge that says NWQF 4x6 033H45 if that helps. The ones from Amazon are labeled in the same area YL-24 AC
I have used the YL-24 AC and yes too small, I did look into those from Quailcartons.com and they have same
cell size is 33 x 45 mm,
Thanks for info will order some I believe I tried those but don't have any more to verify. If they are the same, I still had trouble with them but not nearly as bad as YL-24 AC. Info says should hold egg from 16 to 30 grams so should work will see thanks again all.
