The EPE foam egg tray is a soft, resilient polyethylene foam liner that seats each egg in a fitted star pocket, so eggs ride without cracking through handling, transport, and last-mile delivery. As an egg tray liner it drops into a carton or gift box for shockproof egg packaging, and the closed-cell foam cushions every knock without shedding lint onto the shells.

Cavities sized to the egg
Each star pocket is cut to the egg so it sits deep and square with no room to roll or knock its neighbour. Tell us the egg grade and the count you pack, 6, 10, 12, 20, or 30, and the cavity diameter, depth, and pitch are set to match. The same tool holds oval or round produce, so one liner can carry eggs on one run and fruit on the next.
EPE foam vs pulp egg trays
Pulp trays are cheap and stackable but soak up moisture and soften in damp or chilled transit, and they cushion less. An EPE cushioned egg carton insert stays dry, springs back after a drop, and can be washed and reused, so it protects far better on long-haul and courier routes. For a premium gift box of eggs or fruit, the clean white foam also presents better than grey pulp.
Why EPE foam
EPE is an expanded polyethylene foam that is soft, resilient, and recovers after impact, so egg transport foam absorbs the drops and vibration that crack shells in the post. It is water-resistant and does not shed dust or lint onto food, and the inert PE is safe against the shell. The foam is light, so it protects the eggs without adding much to the parcel weight.
Applications
Use the tray for farm and retail eggs, preserved and salted eggs, hatching eggs, and duck or goose eggs, plus round fruit like peaches, kiwis, apples, and avocados. The deep pockets hold each item, the shockproof egg packaging survives courier handling, and the reusable foam suits farm-gate delivery, e-commerce, and premium gift sets alike.

Send your egg or fruit size, the count per tray, and the carton or box it sits in, and we will cut a dieline and quote the liner with a sample for your approval. ISO 9001 and 14001 systems keep density, pocket depth, and cut size consistent lot to lot, so every tray protects the same.
FAQ
How many eggs can one tray hold?Ang tray na ipinapakita ay kayang maglaman ng sampu, ngunit ang bilang ay ginagawa ayon sa order, mula 6 hanggang 30 o higit pa bawat patong, at ang mga patong ay maaaring isalansan sa isang karton. Ibigay mo sa amin ang grado ng itlog at kung ilan ang iyong ilalagay sa bawat kahon at itatakda namin ang bilang ng mga itlog, laki, at pitch na akma.
Mas mainam ba ito kaysa sa tray ng itlog na gawa sa pulp?Para sa mga paraan ng pag-cushion at pag-dampi, oo. Ang EPE ay bumabalik pagkatapos ng isang patak, nananatiling tuyo, at maaaring gamitin muli, habang ang pulp ay lumalambot kapag basa at mas kaunti ang cushion. Ang pulp ay mas mura at maaaring isalansan para sa dry retail. Sabihin sa amin ang paraan at paggamit at ipapayo namin kung alin ang akma, o pareho ang ibibigay.
Ligtas ba ang foam laban sa shell?Oo. Ito ay gawa sa inert, ligtas sa pagkain na PE foam na hindi nagtatanggal ng lint o nalilipat sa shell, at ito ay water-resistant kaya madali itong punasan at maaaring gamitin muli. Para sa dagdag na katiyakan, maaari kaming magbigay ng food-contact grade na naaayon sa pamantayan ng inyong merkado.
Ano ang makatotohanang dami ng order?Walang mahigpit na minimum, ngunit ang tool sa paghubog at pagkakaayos ay nakakalat sa kabuuan, kaya mas mahal ang bawat piraso sa maliliit na batch at bumababa ang presyo kasabay ng dami. Sabihin sa amin ang iyong taunang dami at ipapayo namin ang mga break point.
