You can find a variety of empty egg boxes right here at Walmart, both online and in select stores. Our selection includes options made from pulp, plastic, and other materials, with different capacities to fit your needs.

• Browse our online catalog for bulk packs or smaller quantities.

Shopping online lets you compare features and read reviews to help you pick the right egg boxes for your home or business.

If you’re interested in making your own egg boxes, you’ll need some basic supplies like sturdy cardboard or recycled paper pulp.

• Start by measuring and cutting the material to create individual egg compartments.
• Fold and secure the sections to form a tray, making sure each spot is cushioned to help protect the eggs.
• For added durability, reinforce the corners with tape or glue.

While homemade boxes can be a fun project, keep in mind that store-bought options often offer more consistent protection and stackability for regular use.

The number of egg boxes you’ll need depends on how often you collect eggs and the size of the boxes.

• On average, 25 chickens can lay about 20-25 eggs per day.
• If you collect eggs daily, a few 12- or 18-count boxes may be enough for short-term storage.
• For larger batches or less frequent collection, consider bulk trays that hold 30 eggs or more.

Having extra boxes on hand can help with organization and make transporting eggs easier, especially if you share or sell them.

Both cardboard and plastic egg boxes have their advantages, and the best choice depends on your needs.

• Cardboard boxes are lightweight and often used for single-use or short-term storage.
• Plastic containers are reusable, easy to clean, and can offer more durability for frequent use.

If you’re looking for something eco-conscious, cardboard is recyclable, while plastic options are great for long-term kitchen organization. Consider how you’ll use the boxes and how often you plan to reuse them when making your decision.

Keeping reusable egg containers clean is simple and helps maintain food safety.

• Wash the container with warm, soapy water after each use.
• Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry completely before refilling.
• Some plastic containers are dishwasher-safe—check the product details to be sure.

Regular cleaning helps prevent odors and keeps your eggs fresh. Always handle eggs with clean hands and store them in the refrigerator for best results.
