6 Cavity Egg Tray with Lid — Retail-Ready Molded Pulp Egg Cartons
Aavadh Exports manufactures 6 cavity egg trays with attached lids, engineered specifically for retail shelf presentation, e-commerce fulfillment, and small-batch farm packaging. Made from 100% recycled paper pulp, these compact egg cartons combine strong cushioning protection with a clean, branding-friendly surface — making them a preferred choice for supermarkets, farm-to-table brands, and specialty egg producers across global markets.
Whether you’re a distributor sourcing private-label cartons for a supermarket chain, a poultry farm packaging free-range eggs for direct sale, or an importer supplying food service retailers, our 6 cavity trays are built to protect, present, and perform through the full supply chain — from our factory floor in India to your customer’s refrigerator.
Product Overview
The 6 cavity egg tray with lid is a self-contained, hinged or two-piece carton designed to hold six eggs securely in individual cavities. Unlike open trays that require an outer sleeve or overwrap, this format is retail-ready straight off the production line — no secondary packaging step required. This makes it a cost-efficient choice for brands looking to reduce packaging steps while maintaining a premium shelf appearance.
Our molded pulp construction uses a wet-pressed or thermoformed process (depending on order specification) to create a rigid yet lightweight shell. Each cavity is individually contoured to cradle a standard-size egg, preventing movement, cracking, and cross-contamination during transit and handling.

Product Specification
Why Choose Molded Pulp for 6-Egg Cartons
- Biodegradable and compostable. Every tray we produce breaks down naturally, unlike plastic or polystyrene cartons, which can persist in landfills for decades. For brands marketing to environmentally conscious consumers — especially in the EU, UK, US, Canada, and Australia — this is increasingly a purchasing requirement, not just a preference.
- Superior cushioning. The pulp’s fibrous structure absorbs shock more effectively than rigid plastic, reducing breakage rates during transit — a critical factor for exporters shipping over long distances or across multiple handling points.
- Print- and brand-ready surface. The natural pulp surface takes ink, embossed logos, and custom stamping well, allowing farms and retailers to build brand recognition directly on the packaging without additional labeling costs.
- Regulatory alignment. With single-use plastics regulations tightening across the EU (Single-Use Plastics Directive), UK, and several US states, molded pulp cartons help importers stay ahead of compliance requirements rather than scrambling to reformulate packaging later.
- Cost efficiency at scale. Because the format is retail-ready, buyers save on secondary packaging, labor, and material costs compared to open-tray-plus-overwrap systems.
Who This Product Is For
- Farm-to-table and free-range egg producers who sell in smaller batch sizes and want packaging that reflects an artisanal, sustainable brand identity.
- Supermarkets and grocery chains sourcing private-label or house-brand egg cartons.
- E-commerce and subscription box companies shipping eggs directly to consumers, where cushioning and tamper-evidence matter.
- Food service distributors supplying restaurants, cafes, and catering companies with smaller, manageable egg quantities.
- Gift and specialty packaging buyers, including companies packaging colored, decorated, or novelty eggs for seasonal retail (e.g., Easter markets in the US and Europe).
Export & Import Considerations for Global Buyers
As an India-based manufacturer and exporter, Aavadh Exports ships 6 cavity egg trays to buyers across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Key things international buyers should know:
- Incoterms flexibility: We work on FOB, CIF, and EXW terms depending on your logistics setup and freight forwarder relationships.
- Container optimization: Because molded pulp trays are lightweight and nestable, we palletize and load shipments to maximize container fill rate, reducing your per-unit freight cost.
- Documentation: Export shipments are supported with commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and phytosanitary or fumigation certificates where required by destination country regulations.
- Customization lead times: Custom mold tooling for branded or non-standard cavity shapes typically requires additional lead time — reach out early in your sourcing process if you need a proprietary design.
Customization Options
We offer:
- Color customization — natural pulp tones, dyed pulp, or printed finishes
- Branding — embossed logos, printed text, or custom mold engravings
- Material blend — recycled newsprint pulp, virgin kraft pulp, or a hybrid blend depending on your strength and finish requirements
- Lid style — fully hinged, snap-fit, or separate lid-and-base construction
FAQs
Is this tray compostable?

Can you produce custom branding on the lid?
Yes, we offer embossed branding, printed logos, and fully custom mold tooling for private-label and OEM buyers. Contact our team with your artwork and volume requirements for a tooling quote.
What is the minimum order quantity for export shipments?
MOQs vary based on customization level and destination. Standard (non-custom) orders typically have lower MOQs than fully custom-tooled designs. Contact us with your target volume for a specific quote.
Do these trays meet food safety standards?
Yes, our production process is aligned with food-grade handling requirements, and we can supply relevant certifications (FSSAI, ISO 9001) with your shipment documentation.
