Printing Egg Cartons

[Katy]

I've been thinking I need to recruit my graphic designer daughter to design something for when I've got enough to sell on a regular basis.

I want to get the recycled ones. I love the hot pink ones but the flat top is supposed to be more secure for the eggs.

I made this just now for a sign at work, not totally done but you get the idea:

you have to be careful how you print your label

FREE................. range fresh eggs. - Someone could be reading it like that

Only $2 for a dozen! Man, here in So. CA, for free range eggs they are $4.50-5.00!! That is a killer deal!

 

[hooligan]

The free range organic at WM is $3.76 but mine aren't organic

You can lable them better than organic.

Officially "organic" means you jumped through the gov't hoops and paid a big $$ to get the lable 'organic'.

In the EggCartons.com's catalog on page 12 they have blank labels you can order. They also have a free design program that you can download or they will send you the CD for $5 processing fee.

They sent me a catalog when I ordered the clear egg cartons from them made out of recycled plastic. I'm usually against plastic products b/c the environment, but the eggs look so good being seen through the clear plastic. I love the variation of all the diff shell colors. I just bought the clear ones w/ a generic farm fresh label until I had time to design our labels. I'd tie them up w/ jute and put a pic of one of my chickens on it and give them to my friends as gifts. I'll see if I can find a pic.
I'm about to order some blank clear ones so we can finally put our design on them.

That is what I was looking for but I don't see it online.

Hmmmmm. I wonder if they only have it in their catalog. They have all kind of stuff in the catalog. They will customize a rubberstamp, but it will only work on the foam cartons.
