A unit for transporting eggs includes a platform carrying superimposed horizontal layers of egg-holder trays and intermediate partitions interposed between the plurality of superimposed horizontal layers. Parallel to two opposite sides of the partition are stop elements projecting upwards suitable to cooperate with corresponding lower abutments of the egg-holder trays of the lowest layer of the corresponding plurality of superimposed horizontal layers. The stop elements are spaced by the two opposite sides of the partition, towards the inside thereof.

The collapsible container includes a base and a pair of opposed first walls pivotably connected to opposed first edges of the base. A second wall or front wall is pivotably connected to a second edge of the base such that the second wall is perpendicular to the first walls. The front wall includes a frame including a pair of elongated vertical upstanding members each including a recess opening outward of the container. The front wall further includes a door pivotably connected to the upstanding members. The door includes an upper panel portion having a pair of wing portions projecting away from one another and receivable in the recesses in the upstanding members.

Packaging units for products like eggs, and a mould and method therefore, are disclosed. According to one embodiment a packaging unit for products like eggs includes a carton made of moulded pulp with a bottom part including compartments for individual products, and a cover part including top, front and rear surfaces, and a label made of paperboard.

An egg container is disclosed which includes a hollow receptacle having a pair of sidewalls connected to a first end wall, to a second end wall, and to a bottom wall. The hollow receptacle has an open top surrounded by a rim. The rim has a pair of folded flanges formed thereon, each of which extends along at least a portion of the length of each of the pair of sidewalls. The hollow receptacle is capable of holding multiple eggs in a stationary and spaced apart fashion. The egg container further includes a lid sized and shaped to slide between the pair of folded flanges and completely cover the open top of the hollow receptacle. A method of removing one or more eggs from the egg container is also taught.

An injection molded egg pack has a lower part, with egg holders in an interior, and a lid, integrally formed via a hinge strip and having an at least partially planar lid wall. A releasable closed position of the lid is achieved by lid-fastening means engaging in fastening means of the lower part and a periphery of the lower part engaging in a lid periphery. The lid can be swung in a reproducibly simple manner onto the lower part. This is achieved in that at least one latch-in means is integrally formed on an inner surface of the lid wall, such that it projects away in the direction of a lid plane, and at least one open hollow stub is integrally formed on the lower part, between adjacent egg holders, such that it projects away from the egg holders and a subdivision plane, out of the interior, by way of a stub-opening periphery in such a manner that, in the closed position of the lid, the stub projects out of the interior as far as the inner surface of the lid wall.
