Reuseable Egg Cartons

[Susan Hillside]

Hello,

I'm looking to buy some reusable egg cartons. I sell two dozen eggs per week to my one good egg customer. I would like to buy some good, sturdy, washable, egg cartons for her. The eggs I use for my purposes are usually not washed and I have a nice homemade stand for them.

Any thoughts on quality reuseable egg cartons?

I just reuse regular foam and/or paper cartons and don't wash them or the eggs.
You can get hard plastic 'cartons' at a camping store.

The foam and clear plastic ones can be cleaned on the top rack of your dish washer using a short cycle while avoiding the extra heated water and the heated dry cycle...

Or as said you can get hard plastic ones at camping stores or all over Ebay, but beware if you have extra large egg layers the eggs might not fit in the solid plastic cartons, as they are generally made to fit medium to large eggs...

Thanks for the ideas. I've been reusing egg cartons that folks give me from the grocery store. But I run out quickly and they get dirty. I never thought about washing the foam or platic grocery store cartons. I also don't like how short lived they are.

I was looking at this, http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Egg-Cartons-and-Baskets/Resuable-Plastic-Egg-Carton-p1810.aspx

and wondering if anyone used something like that

Well, there ya go then.

I only have about 6 customers, they are really good about returning and taking good care of cartons, they seem to last quite a long time.
Never have needed to clean them, as they don't appear to get dirty.

I bought 6 Nutrena washable 'green' egg cartons from Blain's Farm and Fleet, on-line. When I received the package 5 of the 6 had broken closure tabs. I would not recommend buying these. They feel thin and flimsy and are obviously NOT durable. Back to the drawing board.
