Abstract: The invention concerns a tray blank, especially for eggs, having one or more upwardly extending projections, the diameter of each of said projections decreases in the upward direction, the lateral wall of each projection together with other wall sections adjacent to the projection comprising walls defining cell-shaped, upwardly open compartments adjoining the projection and intended to receive eggs. The projection is formed with an open projection which is slit downwardly from the top, starting from the upper, free edge of the wall of the projection, the wall sections defined by the slits continuing downwardly into the cell-shaped compartments and are formed as resilient surfaces supporting the eggs.

Abstract: A packing carton for breakable articles, in particular eggs, consisting of a container member, a lid member hinged on the latter by means of an articular fold or hinge line, and a closing flap hinged on one of these members by means of an articular fold or hinge line which when the lid member is closed over the container member engages in the respective other member, its outside lying opposite the inside of one of the side walls of this member. At least one fastening projection is provided on the outside of the flap, and at least one fastening opening is provided in the relative side wall to accommodate the projection when the carton is closed.

On the inside of at least one of the said articular folds at least one projection is provided jutting from the articular fold or hinge line.

Abstract: A package of fiber material or other resilient material for receiving fragile articles, particularly eggs. The package comprises a base member and a top member hinged thereto along one side wall thereof, the flanges of the members engaging each other in the closed state of the package. The top member and the base member have end walls extending transversely of said side wall, the intermediate portion of said end walls being curved inwardly. The flanges of both members at the said curved regions are flared transversely of the main plane of the base member and top member respectively in such a way that the flange of one member in the said region in the closed state of the package forms a recess and the flange of the other member forms a corresponding projection engaging the recess, the end edge of the flared portions being located in the same vertical plane as the end edges of the adjoining flange portions of the said members.
