Raw materials for manufacturing paper trays
The raw materials used in manufacturing paper trays consist of waste paper, newspapers, cardboard, books, magazines, A4 paper, cartons, etc.
Recycling these raw materials to make valuable egg trays helps you turn waste into treasure, making profits.
Egg tray manufacturing process
Knowing the raw materials, now let’s together explore how to make quality egg trays.
Step 1: preparation of raw materials
Firstly, prepare enough waste paper as raw materials. These raw materials usually include paper materials such as old newspapers and waste cardboard.
Step 2: pulp making
Pulp preparation is a crucial step in making egg trays.
Put waste paper and water into the hydro pulper machine. Under the hydro, it makes quality paper pulp.
Step 3: paper tray molding
To make paper egg trays, an egg tray making machine is required. Pour the pulp into an egg tray mold, which is shaped like an egg.
As the pulp is compressed into the desired shape(i.e., the egg tray), excess water is removed.
Step 4: egg tray drying
After moulding, the egg tray should be dried to remove the remaining water.
There are three drying methods for your reference: natural drying, brick kiln drying and drying equipment. Refer to the following information to choose the appropriate method according to your needs.
- Natural drying: this method needs labor’s help. It’s suitable for small-scale egg tray production or start-up, such as 1000-1500pcs/h. It’s most cost-effective.
- Brick kiln drying: it requires brickwork and occupies a large area. We can provide drawings. It’s suitable for medium-sized enterprises, such as 2000-4000pcs/h.
- Egg tray dryer: this requires to purchase an egg tray metal drying machine. It’s suitable for large enterprises with sufficient budget. The egg tray production ranges from 4000-8000pcs/h.
Step 5: hot pressing & packaging
After drying, the trays are hot pressed to give them a cleaner appearance and to ensure consistency. They can then be stacked and packaged ready for dispatch to market.

Egg tray molds for paper tray production
Egg tray machines can produce various types of paper trays, and molds are the most important. Egg tray moulds are usually made from durable materials such as metal or plastic.
They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Different molds decide what kind of paper trays are made.
During the egg tray production process, the pulp is poured into these moulds, and excess water is drained. Then the pulp takes the shape of the mould compartment.
After finishing, the paper trays are removed from the moulds to form the final product for egg holding.
