My 4 year old daughter has started selling our eggs to family members and friends, but we are fast running out of boxes, where is the best place to buy them from ? Thanks
-
I'd be interested in any advice on this too; been looking around online and the variety is quite confusing. But it's nice to see that recycled plastic is an option, though I've yet to find prices for them...

I bought a load of new basic grey cardboard ones on Ebay some years ago :thumbsup:

Try Flyte so Fancy
-
Your local agri merchant can probably get a big stack four you, they last for ages.... also many of ur customers bring their empty boxes back to us, so get recycled a few times.
Could you not put a paper slip inside the box (or stuck to the outside) to ask customers to return the empty boxes...
-
I put an advert in the local village post office asking people to save their egg boxes and phone me to collect them when they had enough. Worked very well and we never ran out of boxes, in fact we had too many.
-
I've bought them in Mole Valley Farmers and Flyte so Fancy - both good.
-
Flyte of fancy is good value but only works out if you buy a good few due to postage. Make sure you price in the boxes though. Selling at £1 isn't going to cover all costs.
