Decisions To Make When You Buy Colored Paper Egg Cartons

Egg cartons are an essential item for anyone who wishes to sell fresh eggs from the chickens they raise. Whether you do so at a local market or from a stand at your farm, you'll want to shop carefully to find the right cartons. Lots of people favor paper cartons, given their recyclable nature, and cartons that feature bright colors instead of muted shades can also be appealing. When you find a company that sells colored paper egg cartons, you'll generally have a few important decisions to make as you shop.

Size   

Paper egg cartons are available in several different sizes, so it's nice to think about what will suit you and your customers best. People often buy eggs by the dozen, so it will make sense to order a number of egg cartons that hold 12 eggs. You may wish to consider some other sizes, too. Egg cartons that hold just half a dozen eggs can be a desirable choice for customers who live alone and don't consume eggs very quickly. At the other end of the spectrum, a carton that holds 18 eggs can be a good option for larger families who consume eggs daily.

Colors

If the supplier from which you're shopping has paper egg cartons in many different colors, you'll enjoy evaluating your options and deciding what colors you wish to buy. If your farm has a logo in a specific color, you might wish to focus on this hue. You can either buy cartons in this color or choose a carton with a complementary color. In the latter scenario, you can place a sticker with your logo on the carton and be happy with how the two colors suit one another. Some farmers may enjoy using different carton colors to represent different sizes or types of eggs.

Wording

Many colored paper egg cartons have a blank design, which may suit you if you plan to write on them, use a stamp on them, or affix stickers to them. You'll find some egg cartons, however, that have generic wording that you may find appealing. For example, a carton design that reads "Farm Fresh Eggs" on the top can have a stylish and cheery appearance that you might enjoy. Depending on the size of the wording, you may still be able to add your farm's name and/or logo adjacent to the wording. Visit an agricultural supplier to shop for egg cartons.
