Put on Plastic Film Armor for Egg Trays Package
Eggtray package is the final step in the eggtray production line, better package method can save the storage room, labor cost and prevent eggtrays from damage in transportation.
Egg trays are under heavy pressure when stacked, and they have to deal with bumps and collisions during transportation. AGICO multi-layer composite plastic film packaging solution achieves “hardness and flexibility” through innovative technology:
- Structural design: 3-layer co-extrusion technology (outer layer tear resistance + middle layer buffer + inner layer bonding), thickness up to 0.25mm (3 times that of conventional film)
- Mechanical properties: Tested according to ISO 2234 standard, it can withstand a compressive strength of 1.8 tons/㎡ (equivalent to the pressure of 5 layers of fully loaded pallets)
- Scenario verification: In the test of the dedicated logistics egg tray transportation line, after 2,000 kilometers of long-distance transportation, the packaging damage rate was less than 0.1% and the egg tray integrity was 100%
1. Sealed Protection from Plastic Film for Egg Trays
Water seepage on warehouse walls during the rainy season, dust flying in freight yards on dusty days – these common conditions can easily contaminate exposed paper egg trays. Our plastic film solution uses high-frequency heat sealing and ultrasonic welding technology to achieve millimeter-level bonding between plastic film and egg trays, forming a completely enclosed space. According to third-party testing, the moisture permeability of the packaging is ≤5g/㎡·24h (20 times lower than ordinary plastic wrap). After being stored in a warehouse with a humidity of 90% for 7 days, the surface of the egg tray remains as dry as before. After being transported in a dusty environment for 48 hours, there is no dust intrusion inside, achieving the “out-of-the-box” hygiene standard.
Key technologies
- Process: high frequency heat sealing + ultrasonic welding
- Moisture permeability: ≤5g/(m²·24h) (GB/T 1037)
- Hygiene certification: GB 4806.7-2016 food contact standard
Scenario Verification
| Environment | Egg tray status |
| Humidity 90% storage for 7 days | No condensation on the surface |
| Dust transfer station 48h | No dust intrusion on the inner wall |
Actual test environment in a humid warehouse, Humidity test of the egg tray after unpacking is only 8.3%
2. Precise Size – Making Each Egg Tray Package Block “As Solid As A Rock”
Whether it is a small egg tray with 30 pieces or a thickened one with 40 pieces, our packaging can achieve accurate matching with a tolerance of ±1mm. The standard egg tray uses red rope matrix bundling technology to ensure that it does not fall apart during transportation; special-shaped paper trays support 3D scanning customization, and the development cycle only takes 48 hours. A customer reported that after using it, the stacking neatness of egg trays increased by 90%, and the warehouse space can store 30% more goods; the handling time of a single egg tray for loading and unloading workers was shortened from 20 seconds to 8 seconds, and there is no need to bend down to sort out the fallen egg trays.
Standardized Coverage + Customized Service
| Egg tray specifications | Packaging solutions | Tolerance Control |
| 30 standard | Bundling type (red rope reinforcement) | ±1mm |
| 40 standard | Full film wrapping | ±1mm |
| Special-shaped egg tray | 3D scanning customized mold | Design on demand |
Efficiency Results
- Storage space utilization rate: ↑30%
- Loading and unloading efficiency: ↑50% (single pallet handling time ≤10 seconds)
30 pieces bundled and reinforced Bottom: 40 pieces fully wrapped with film Stacking inclination ≤ 3°
3. Cost Control of Plastic Film in Egg Tray Package Solution
Cost-Effectiveness Comparison Table
| Cost Item | Traditional Solution | This program | Decline |
| Egg tray breakage rate | 8% | 0.5% | ↓94% |
| Egg transportation loss | 5% | 0.3% | ↓94% |
| Manual sorting time | 2 hours/car | 0.5 hours/car | ↓75% |
Return On Investment Calculation
- Case: Medium-sized egg company (monthly sales of 1 million eggs)
- Annual cost savings: Egg loss ↓$52,138 + Egg tray purchase ↓$16,552 + Labor ↓$13,241
- Packaging investment: about $20,689/year
- ROI: >300%
On the surface, each package costs $0.04 more, but in fact, it hides huge benefits:
- In terms of loss:the egg tray breakage rate dropped from 8% to 0.5%, saving $16,552 per year
- Egg protection: The rate of cracked eggs during transportation was reduced from 5% to 0.3%, reducing losses by $52,138
- Manpower optimization: loading and unloading teams save 1.5 hours of sorting time every day.
According to calculations by a poultry company, with an annual investment of $20,689 in packaging fees, the comprehensive income reaches $81,931, a return of more than 300%. This does not include the premium space brought by the improvement of egg quality.
Why Plastic Film or Bag Is Worth Trying for Egg Trays
While our peers are still using hemp rope to tie egg trays, we have already iterated three generations of protection technology:
- Safety Guarantee: Double food grade certification (GB 4806.7+FDA), each batch of raw materials can be traced
- Green upgrade: 30% recycled plastic is added, and discarded packaging can be returned to the factory for recycling
- Worry-free Service: free sample → 7-day test → 30-day delivery
