Egg
trays are often called filler trays and usually
have 30 pockets (that is, they hold 30 eggs).
Eggs are either sold uncovered in the tray or
labelled and wrapped with plastic film. The most
important outlets for eggs in trays are in the
food services industry (restaurants, institutions,
hotels, etc.).
Ludowici egg trays are generally natural in colour
and have superior denesting capabilities. They
are packed in bundles of 125 pieces.
Egg trays can be folded in half to make a 15 egg
pack. This pack is normally labelled and then
wrapped in plastic film (this is a cheap alternative
15 egg pack compared to a 15 egg carton).
Flat Top Carton
The Ludowici Packaging flat top egg carton has
a larger print area on the lid than the Hawk Universal
carton. Flat top cartons are common around the
world and are usually direct printed or have a
label applied to them.
Labelling can provide "photographic style" images
on the egg carton but come at an additional cost
to the pack. Labels can provide much more information
than direct printing on cartons as very small
letters remain readable.
Eggs Are Good
For Health
Eggs contain almost every essential vitamin and
mineral that humans need except Vitamin C. Eggs
are high in protein with the bio-availability
of egg protein at 93.7% compared with 84.5% for
milk, 76% for fish and 74.3% for beef.
The American Heart Association has no dietary
restrictions on eggs as a result of much research
which shows that eggs do not contribute to cardiovascular
disease and in fact provide a wealth of nutritional
benefits including promoting proper foetal development.
Eggs are low cost, convenient to use, easily digested,
have high nutrient value with protein, riboflavin,
folate and vitamins (B12, D and E). They even
come in their own natural (shell) wrapper !!
