Abstract:
1. An egg package formed of a fibrous material, the egg package comprising: a bottom part comprising a plurality of egg-receiving compartments having non-planar side surfaces so as to match at least partially the outer contours of an egg, the plurality of compartments being arranged in at least two parallel rows, a cover part comprising a top surface, a front surface, a back surface, and two end surfaces, the front surfaces having apertures which have a bottom edge and a top edge the cover part being connected to the bottom part by a hinge between the back surface and the bottom part so as to allow the cover part to move between an open position and a closed position, the bottom part comprising a back side, a front side and, two end sides, the front side having a generally horizontal upper edge, at least one retainment projection having a forwardly and downwardly extending flap for locking engagement with a cooperating aperture in the front surface of the cover part, the top surface and the front surface of the cover part forming an obtuse angle relative to each other and wherein the transition between the top surface and front surface is formed as a rounded transition region in such a way that there is a gradual transition between the top surface and front surface, the bottom edge of each of the one or more apertures projecting inwardly, the retainment flap extending upwardly no further than the upper edge of the cooperating aperture when the cover part is in its closed position, the cover part comprising a plurality of longitudinal recesses extending between the top surface and the front surface of the cover part through the rounded transition region between the top surface and front surface, and each said longitudinal recesses extending all the way from the top surface down beyond the middle of the front surface, each said longitudinal recess terminating adjacent to one or two of the co-operating apertures, such that each of the co-operating apertures is placed between two longitudinal recesses.
