    I feel old seeing to many variations on egg volumes. When I was a boy the tray had 36 and you could fill a half dozen carton or two hals dozens stuck together.

      The standard wholesale tray is 30.

      They stack better than boxes, so it makes sense to transport them that way for restaurants and other kitchens.

      I haven’t seen the 30 trays in retail stores in several years. I guess most people don’t need 30 eggs at a time or it’s difficult to transport unwrapped

        I couldn’t remember I was recalling them and figured it was a 6x6 carton.

        Where I saw them was at dedicated grocers and they were open top cardboard bases you could select the eggs from as required.
