Any way can end up with that result. Personally, I'm anti, this method.
The box was perfectly intact, but since the eggs were placed int eh center in a "nest" there were two smashed and a couple cracked AND of the almost 3 dozen eggs in the box only 4 hatched and one died shortly after.
It's making the eggs perfectly immobile that saves them.
I wrap the eggs in a paper napkin and place in a carton.
The carton is then wrapped in aluminum foil. Now, BEFORE anyone makes fun of me, I figure, what the heck, it's not hurting anything. And I've had great hatches of eggs sent all over the country, so I wrap them this way every time.
Then bubble wrap long way and then wrap again short way. So every inch of the carton is double padded.
Then into an oversized box with tons of paper. You can shred it or crumple it. I have a bunch of shredded paper so I used it on this shipment. Normally I crumple paper. The key is to use enough to make the carton immobile.
As you can see, the box is overflowing with paper. When the box is closed, you have to hold it shut for all the paper.
Tape and ship. I don't often label the boxes. In my experience, the more "fragile" labels, the more likely the box is to get damaged.
This was a recycled box so it already had the tape on it.
I realize everyone has their theories and methods. This is what has worked for me and my customers. I do it, because it's what works. If someone is paying for eggs, they should be packaged in the best way possible to give the eggs the best chance. Nothing is more aggravating than to spend a ton of money on eggs only to get them looking like they were just thrown in a box.
