Why are egg cartons 2×6 instead of 1×12 or 3×4?
In: 2
1×12 would not be that stable and can easyfall over if the egg was standing, with eggy layin on the side requiring bottom area increase. It would also be impractical long, so harder to transport and store the 2×6.
I would guess that 3×4 is not common because you can store them as efficiently. Regardless of whether you store them in a refrigerator or on a shelf, the depth is closer to 6 eggs than 4. I would purchase a large pack for exampel 18 or 24 where 3×6 and 4×5 are common and cut them down and try the size
That said 3×4 cartons do exit you can order them https://www.eggcartons.com/products/egg-carton-vintage-printed
