Egg Tray Manufacturing Plant – Promising And Stable Profit
Want to start a business in the countryside? Then you might consider opening an egg tray processing factory!
Although farmers are complaining about the roller-coaster market changes, an inconspicuous business is operating steadily with a profit margin of 20%, and that is pulp egg tray production.
Egg trays are a high-quality packaging material that protects eggs during transportation and sales. Its production threshold is low, the technology is simple and easy to use, and the egg tray manufacturing plant cost is also low, which is very suitable for you as a business investment option.
The Profit Benefits Of Pulp Egg Trays
Paper pulp egg trays are packaging tools for chicken eggs, duck eggs and other egg types. Their main function is to reduce shock and facilitate transportation and carrying. Paper pulp egg trays are not only a rigid demand for farmers but also indispensable in supermarkets, express delivery and other circulation service sectors. Moreover, as a disposable consumable, the market for egg trays is very large.
As a necessity for egg packaging and transportation, the market for egg trays is huge and increasing. The reasons are as follows:
- The scale of domestic breeding has increased each year, the demand has become higher, and there is a shortage of supply in many places.
- Egg trays are disposable consumables and cannot be reused during transportation. To prevent cross-infection, the breeding industry pays great attention to disease prevention and will not allow egg trays to enter the farm for the second time. They are generally thrown away after one use.
- The cost of pulp-molded egg trays is very low, and there is no lower-cost alternative than paper tray packaging.
Pulp Egg Tray Manufacturing Plant
AGICO can provide a complete egg tray production line and a small pulp egg tray manufacturing plant that integrates these functions for about US$8,000. If funds are insufficient, you can also purchase second-hand products or select and assemble the processing line yourself according to the process flow, which will be cheaper.
Therefore, setting up a small pulp egg tray plant in the countryside is a money-making project with a small investment, low cost and large market. Choose from the egg tray production lines of different capacities below!
Cost and Profit of A Pulp Egg Tray Manufacturing Plant
The profit of pulp egg tray manufacturing is about 20%. The cost of one ton of waste paper is between US$224 and US$252, and about 9,000 pulp egg trays can be processed. Even for US$252 per ton, processing one ton of waste paper can generate a processing income of US$126. Excluding the costs of water, electricity, equipment depreciation and other links, the net profit of one pulp egg tray is about US$0.007. In other words, processing 9,000 pulp egg trays from one ton of waste paper can earn a profit of US$63. Processing 2 tons of waste paper a day is US$126. If the processing is done for 20 days a month and 11 months a year, the profit that can be earned is no less than US$28,000.
Start a Small-Scale Egg Tray Plant Business
In terms of investment, in addition to the funds for a complete set of processing equipment, idle sites in rural areas can be used as processing workshops, and some supporting raw materials and finished product storage sites can be added. This kind of small-scale egg tray plant can be completed by one family, without the need to hire external workers.
How to Reduce The Raw Materials Cost
The raw materials for processing pulp egg trays are commonly seen waste newspapers, books, cartons, etc., including discarded egg trays. If the surrounding resources are abundant, you can directly set up a collection point for recycling; you can also buy them through scrap collection stations, the prices vary slightly from place to place; you can also adopt the old-for-new method to obtain discarded paper egg trays.
How To Sell The Pulp Egg Trays Product
The profit of pulp egg tray processing mainly depends on the quantity. So what are the sales channels?
As a disposable consumer product, egg trays are used by almost all farmers, including poultry breeding bases for laying hens, laying ducks, quails, pigeons, partridges, fowls, peacocks, ostriches, etc., as well as supermarkets, farmers’ markets, bakeries, cafes and other places. On e-commerce platforms, online sales can be carried out through sales platforms.
Among these channels, poultry farms of all kinds use the most. As long as they want to sell, whether it is a large or small amount, they will purchase repeatedly. Once you have such resources around you, you will have a great delivery distance advantage. If you win orders from farms in your area or surrounding areas, the success rate of this business will naturally be high.
How Would You Benefit with An Egg Tray Manufacturing Plant
The output of egg tray machines ranges from 1,000 to 10000 egg trays per hour. It only takes about $ 30,000 to invest in a small egg tray plant that can produce more than 20,000 egg trays a day. With 3 or 4 workers, the profit per piece is calculated based on the average price of 0.5 cents, and the investment can be recovered in about 3 months.
Egg trays are disposable consumables that farmers use every day. As long as there are chicken farms around you, large quantities of egg trays are consumed daily. To avoid cross-infection of germs, chicken farmers will not reuse egg trays.
The egg tray machine has a simple process flow and is easy to operate, including simple processes such as beating, forming, dehydrating, drying, and packaging. It has low technical content and is easy to use. You can fully master the skills after a few days of practice.

How To Choose Egg Tray Production Equipment
The profit of one egg tray is very small, and the profit varies in different places. If you want to make more money, you have to rely on large-scale equipment. Large equipment also requires a large investment. If you are a novice who has never done it before, you can start with small equipment first, and then add large equipment for update later.
- Choose high-performance and advanced mechanical equipment with high production capacity. Production capacity means efficiency. At present, the leading machine models from AGICO have an largest output of more than 10,000 pieces per hour.
- In the early stage, the choice of drying fuel should be considered, with priority given to biomass fuel or steam and low-cost factory waste heat as drying heat sources. Natural gas is also a relatively clean heat source.
- The transportation of raw materials and finished products in the egg tray factory requires large vehicles to enter and exit, so the width of the factory building and roads must be considered, and a 13-meter semi-trailer flatbed vehicle that can enter and exit is the best.
- It is necessary to know in advance the types of egg trays used by customers within a 100-kilometer radius to facilitate the later opening of egg tray molds. There are many types of egg tray molds, which will affect the later packing size.
- The area required to invest in a small egg tray factory mainly depends on the production scale and equipment configuration. Generally speaking, a small egg tray factory that is just starting up can meet basic needs with a production area between 50-200 square meters.
