You could have a "Bring your own carton" policy for the people who come to you. I haven't sold any, but the people I have given some extra eggs to, I asked them to save some styrofoam cartons (I know they aren't eco friendly and all that, but they are being re-used at least) and I cleaned them for them and gave them back with eggs in them. There is a carton website that I have read others write about too.

Do you have an active "freecycle" group in your neighborhood? There's tons o ftuff availabke and if you'd request them, I feel quite certain you'd get responses - and for free!

Check out freecycle.org

I just got my new egg cartons yesterday and made my own labels. I ordered them from eggcartons.com, a BYC sponsor:

I ordered 200 and the price dropped to about .28 cents each. You can order as few as 25 for $12.95 which makes them about .50 cents each but the price per carton drops the more you order. I got 200 at $56.95 so about .28 cents each. I ordered the plastic because friends, family and customers can save them for me and they can be washed and reused. I'm just starting to sell eggs and I wanted something that looked more clean and professional than all the old saved egg cartons from various commercial places.

I was going to order some of those colored cartons.. but the shipping was a huge rip off.

Try posting on your local Craigslist. Offer a dozen free eggs if they bring you X amount of cartons.

We just started off with cartons from our neighbors and now they all bring us cartons to reuse. Occasonally there's a crunch and I post on freecycle.com. I love freecycle!

Hey what do ya know, I'm selling my McMurry Hatchery egg cartons. I ordered 50 of the clear that snap in half, to have 6 in each half. They do have a label on them with a rooster, and a spot for you to put your own label or phone number. I love the egg cartons but don't like the label, as I have my own label business. Don't really need the label and that is the only reason why I'm selling them.

I did use 4 cartons, so I have 46, and with shipping included I will sell them to you for $20.

Let me know if that works for you.
