Egg box source

[Bacchus]

Hi guys,
My daughter runs a small honesty box from the front of the house where she sells a a few eggs. They seem to go like hot cakes so she added another 8 hens and increased the size of her flock to 31.

While the people who buy the eggs normally return the boxes, inevitably some become unusable or lost so we need to buy a few cheap boxes. The plastic ones are no good as they seem to be too small. The long form closing ones are cheap but tend to be rubbish quality. On ones that close to the side are much better but everywhere I look seem to be about 20p per box.

Would anyone know where sells those type of egg boxes cheaply?

thanks in advance

My friend used to get her egg boxes off of a lady who made cakes,I wonder if you phoned some local cake makers they might have a lot they recycle?

It's very handy at just having it at £1 per half dozen though.

I would have thought that peeps using lots of eggs per day would be buying them in flat trays?
No harm in asking though.

Can you ask friends, neighbour's and family to ask at work...or their friends/neighbours too?

Ask customers to return there boxes and top them up next time they come.

Noticed the other day when buying layers pellets that they had egg boxes for sale.
Must be some place beside you that sells poultry stuff including boxes. Good luck.
