Egg trays are the quiet essential of the poultry trade. Every egg that leaves a farm travels in one, and the people buying them — layer farms, egg retailers, sari-sari stores and bakeries — buy them steadily, by the bundle rather than the piece. This section brings together egg tray listings from Philippine suppliers so you can compare prices, sizes and materials before contacting a seller.
Paper pulp trays — the standard moulded tray, made from recycled paper. Cheap, stackable, breathable and biodegradable, they are what most farms and palengke vendors use. Usually sold in bundles of 10, 50 or 100.
Plastic egg trays — rigid and reusable, easier to wash, and the usual choice for operations that run a closed delivery loop and get their trays back.
Egg cartons — closed 6, 10 or 12-egg retail packs, for branded or supermarket-style selling rather than bulk transport.
The standard Philippine tray holds 30 eggs in a 6 × 5 layout, which is what almost all pulp tray listings refer to. Since eggs are graded from pullet through to jumbo, it is worth asking which grade a tray is moulded for — jumbo eggs sit high in a standard tray and stack less safely.
Pulp tray prices move with the cost of recycled paper and with order size: a single tray costs a few pesos, while bundles of 100 or more bring the per-piece cost down sharply. Plastic trays cost more up front but are bought once rather than repeatedly. Prices here are set by each seller, so check whether a listing is quoted per piece, per bundle or per 100 before comparing two sellers against each other.

Pulp egg trays have a second life here that has nothing to do with eggs. They are a staple material for parol — the Christmas lantern that appears in every school project from October onward — along with paper flowers, Christmas trees and classroom art. The moulded cups hold their shape when cut, take paint well and cost almost nothing in bulk. Gardeners also use them as seedling starters, tearing off individual cups once shoots take hold.
FarmyHub is the marketplace, not the manufacturer. Each listing is posted by the supplier themselves, with their own price, quantity and location. Browse what is posted, compare the per-piece cost across sellers, then message whoever fits and agree on quantity, pickup or delivery directly. For large orders, ask about the minimum order quantity and how the trays are baled — pulp trays are light but bulky, and freight often costs more than the trays.

The standard pulp tray holds 30 eggs, arranged 6 × 5. Retail cartons hold 6, 10 or 12.
A single pulp tray costs a few pesos, and buying by the bundle of 50 or 100 brings the per-piece price down noticeably. Plastic trays cost more but are reused. Compare current listings, and check whether the price is quoted per piece or per bundle.
Paper pulp if trays go out with the eggs and do not come back. Plastic if you run a closed loop and get your trays returned, since they wash and last for years.
No. "Egg crate" foam mattress toppers are a moulded foam bedding product named after the shape. They are unrelated to the paper and plastic egg trays listed here.
