When we went to order more egg cartons, we found that the price had jumped from 40 cents a carton to 60 cents. We didn't want to raise our price by 20 cents so we looked around for something else. We have always used the tri-fold plastic egg cartons because they show off our pretty eggs. The only ones we could find that were similar were these bi-fold cartons so we decided to give them a try.
We don't like them. They don't close as well. They are bigger over all so they don't fit well in the crates we transport our eggs in and we have to use a stick-um type label instead of our plain paper labels. It takes about 3 times as long to fill and label a carton with these.
We haven't decided what to do. In order to get the same price as we had with the tri-fold cartons, we had to order a large volume. There are enough to last us a couple of months anyway. We are wondering if we ought to go ahead and order the tri-folds next time and raise our prices or switch to paper cartons that are cheaper, but don't show off our eggs.
What do you think?
God Bless You All!
