1. A tri-fold plastic egg carton comprising: a cell base, and a cell cover hingedly connected to one edge of the cell base for pivoting between open and closed positions, the cell base and cell cover each having a matrix of cells that together form a matrix of cell pockets for holding individual eggs when the cell cover is closed over the cell base; a lid hingedly connected to another edge of the cell base for pivoting between open and closed positions, wherein when the cell cover and cell base are in the closed position the lid can be closed over the cell cover to form an assembled carton; the non-hinged peripheral edges of the lid, cell cover and cell base each having a connecting wall parallel to a base plane on which the cell base of the assembled carton rests, a radiused corner, and a turned up lip edge substantially aligned with an axis transverse to the base plane, the ends of the lip edges of the cell cover and cell base mating when the cell cover is closed over the cell base, and the lip edge on the lid is disposed over the mating lip ends of the cell cover and cell base when the lid is closed over the cell cover.
