In an egg tray (1) constituting a thin-walled body of rigid fibre-pulp material in which are formed a plurality of pockets (2) and posts (3), each said pocket being surrounded by a small number of said posts (3) and comprising an egg-supporting region (6,8a,8b) adapted to support an egg (not shown), the main new feature is that said egg-supporting region (6,8a,8b) constitutes a continuous part of a substantially ellipsoidal surface approximating the ellipsoidal or quasi-ellipsoidal surface of the pointed part of an egg of a size within the egg-size interval for which the egg tray (1) is intended to be used. With this arrangement, the eggs are supported gently and steadily in a predictable orientation, the weight of each egg being distributed in the ellipsoidal supporting region (6,8a,8b). <IMAGE> |
