About Bakers Dozen Egg Carton Kasha la Mayai
Kasha la Mayai la Baker's Dozen ni kasha la massa iliyoumbwa linaloweza kutumika tena ambalo hubeba mayai 13. Mayai yamepangwa katika safu mbili za manne huku safu ya matano ikiwa katikati yao. Kasha limetengenezwa kwa karatasi iliyorejelezwa kwa asilimia 100, kwa kutumia mbinu ya jadi ya nyuzi za karatasi zilizoumbwa. Mashine kubwa za kufunga hushughulikia idadi za mayai za mistari, kwa hivyo kasha la mayai 13 limekusudiwa kwa wazalishaji wadogo wanaofunga mayai kwa mikono katika vibanda vya mashambani na masoko ya wakulima. Nembo iliyochorwa kwa ndani huhifadhi uso ukiwa laini, hivyo wakulima wanaweza kuongeza lebo zao wenyewe.

- Unique Properties
- A reusable, molded pulp egg carton that holds 13 eggs. For small egg producers who pack their eggs by hand. Farm stands, farmer's markets and the like.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 210 mm x 152 mm x 72 mm (closed)
- Tags
- egg carton, baker's dozen, package design, structural design
- Production Technology
- Although the Baker's Dozen Egg Carton contains an unconventional number of eggs, it is manufactured using a deliberately traditional method. Egg cartons made of molded paper fiber have have a long history. In this way the Baker's Dozen carton was designed to be structurally strange, yet familiar. (It is also made of 100% recycled paper.)
- Design Challenge
- Realizing that our customers were not retail consumers, but small poultry farms, we consulted directly with them - the famers who had been contacting us. What we learned that their customers typically reuse cartons, bringing them back to be refilled. Realizing that our customers had customers of their own, we came up with a self-effacing, debossed logo. This gave farmers the option of smoothly covering our logo with their own labels. Or they could simply rely on the carton's self-explanatory statement: "Contains 13 Farm fresh Eggs."
- Research
- Early on, a few large egg producers had expressed interest in our new 13-egg carton, but their egg-packing machinery was only designed to pack eggs in pairs. They could only handle even numbers like, 6, 12 or 18 eggs. To pack an odd number like 13 eggs, they would need to make a major retooling investment.
This meant that, for the time being, our cartons would only be practical for small egg-producers who would be packing their eggs by hand. (Farm-stands, farmer's markets and the like.) - Inspiration
- Maybe it was a counter-intuitive response to finding out that my cholesterol levels were slightly elevated. But, in 2011, I began to play around with an idea for fitting even more eggs into a carton. The Baker's Dozen Egg Carton was the eventual result.
- Project Duration
- The project has taken about 8 years, in all, to complete.
- Operation Flow
- In 2012, when the Baker's Dozen Egg Carton was still only a concept, the Huffington Post listed the Baker's Dozen Egg Carton as 1 of several packaging concepts they wished were real.
Naturally, I wanted to grant their wish. But how?
Then I got a call in from Willow Valley Farms in Nebraska. And I had to tell them what I'd told so many others: that the product did not yet exist.
