Choosing the Correct Duck Egg Carton
Choosing the correct carton size prevents cracked eggs and unhappy customers.
6-egg cartons work best for premium sales, farmers markets, and larger duck breeds.
12-egg cartons are ideal for repeat buyers, retail shelves, and consistent egg sizing.
Oversized cartons are recommended for turkey eggs and jumbo duck breeds.
Incorrect sizing is the most common cause of egg damage during transport and storage.
Why Duck Egg Cartons Are Different from Chicken Egg Cartons
Standard chicken egg cartons are too small for duck egg cartons and turkey egg cartons to function properly. Duck and turkey eggs are taller, heavier, and require additional lid clearance and deeper egg cells.
Using chicken cartons for large eggs commonly causes:
- Shell cracking from pressure points
- Lids popping open during stacking
- Eggs shifting during transport
- Retail rejection from damaged eggs
Because the egg sits above the cell height, pressure is transferred directly to the shell instead of the carton structure.
Duck egg cartons and turkey egg cartons are molded with increased depth and support rings so the carton absorbs impact instead of the egg.
Farms switching to properly sized cartons typically see immediate reduction in breakage and improved customer satisfaction.
Available Duck & Turkey Egg Carton Sizes
We offer carton formats built for different selling needs:
- 6-egg cartons — specialty and display sales
- 12-egg cartons — retail and repeat buyers
- Oversized formats — turkey and jumbo breeds
Each carton is designed to fit larger egg dimensions while maintaining strong structural integrity.
Built for Strength, Protection & Professional Presentation
Duck egg cartons and turkey egg cartons must support heavier eggs during collection, washing, transport, and retail stacking. Molded pulp absorbs impact and therefore prevents pressure points that commonly crack large eggs.
- Strong structure for heavier eggs
- Natural cushioning to reduce impact damage
- Plastic-free, recyclable materials
- Secure stacking for transport and bulk storage
- Smooth surfaces for labels and branding
These duck egg cartons and turkey egg cartons are designed for repeated farm handling, washing environments, stacking, and transport while reducing breakage of oversized eggs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size egg carton fits duck eggs?
Duck eggs are taller and wider than chicken eggs, so they require deeper egg cells and more lid clearance. Duck egg cartons are specifically molded to support the base of the egg instead of pressing on the shell, which prevents cracking during stacking and transport.
What egg cartons fit turkey eggs?
Turkey eggs require oversized egg cartons designed for extra-large poultry eggs. Standard cartons are typically too shallow, causing the lid to press on the egg. Turkey egg cartons provide deeper pockets and stronger structure for safe storage and shipping.
Can duck eggs go in chicken egg cartons?
No — chicken egg cartons are too small for most duck eggs. When duck eggs are placed in standard cartons, pressure is applied to the shell instead of the base support ring. This commonly leads to cracked eggs, popped lids, and damage during transport.
Why do duck eggs crack in regular cartons?
Duck eggs crack in regular cartons because the egg sits above the cell height. Instead of the carton absorbing impact, the shell absorbs the pressure during stacking and movement. Properly sized duck egg cartons use deeper cells and lid clearance to eliminate pressure points.
Are molded pulp egg cartons recyclable or compostable?
Yes. Molded pulp egg cartons are plastic-free and made from recycled paper fiber. They can be recycled with paper products or composted in most home and commercial compost systems.
Can farms buy duck egg cartons in bulk?
Yes. Bulk and wholesale quantities are available for farms, hatcheries, and retailers. Buying bulk egg cartons helps maintain consistent packaging, reduces per-carton cost, and ensures reliable supply during peak laying seasons.
