What I would like to know is whether a 6-egg carton is a different entity then 12-egg carton, or is a 6-egg carton really just a 12-egg carton cut in half? How are 6-egg cartons produced? Do the carton producers simply create half the needed 6-egg cartons in 12-egg form, then just cut them in half? Does this create logistical problems with the labeling of cartons?

Over the years, I have seen clerks in the store break them apart. I have also seen them stock the cartons already broken in half. I guess it depends on what is needed at the moment.
I found a link to the patent here: http://patents.ic.gc.ca/cipo/cpd/en/patent/303196/summary.html You can download a PDF to view what the original carton looked like.
Plastic versus paper containers for the transport of the eggs. I read that paper can biodegrade in two months buried with moisture to facilitate microbes breakdown of the paper. Plastic on the other hand takes hundreds of years to break into smaller and smaller pieces. We need references to confirm the environmental footprint of the packaging.--Mark v1.0 (talk) 17:20, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
An editor included punnet of eggs as the British English equivalent of egg carton. I reverted him/her because most of his/her edits weren't constructive. However, I was thinking about it and, if I recall correctly, punnet of eggs is indeed somewhat used in both the UK and Australia for describing an egg container, although in most cases I heard the word it meant a container for fruits and vegetables. Thoughts on including it? --Urbanoc (talk) 18:26, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
