Pack hatching eggs for safe shipping, step by step

Even though we do not recommend you shipping eggs, if you prepare them well and if you get the right packaging materials in your local supermarket or hardware store, you can come really close to professional packaging. In this next part, we will talk about which materials we recommend to send hatching eggs and egg incubators abroad and we’ll talk about how to pack fertilized eggs in 7 easy steps.

Recommended packaging materials to send hatching eggs abroad

When you pack hatching eggs for safe shipping, you should pack every item in a way that will ensure its safety and help it withstand all the shocks during transport. Therefore, you need the following packaging materials:

• Cardboard boxes – you will need at least two cardboard boxes for your shipment. They can be bought at any stationery or hardware store and you can get used ones at supermarkets as well.
• Egg cartons – to directly protect the eggs from shocks.
• Plastic wrap – to wrap your eggs. You can buy it at any supermarket.
• Plastic food containers – to store your eggs after having packed them.
• Bubble wrap – to protect the food container and perishable goods.
• Packing peanuts, crumpled paper, pieces of cardboard, newspapers and other cushioning materials – for filling any empty spaces in the box. You can buy them in any stationery or hardware store as well as at the supermarket.
• Styrofoam sheets – for protecting the bottom, sides and the top of your cardboard box. It also works as an insulator.
• Adhesive tape – will be needed for sealing and thoroughly covering the shipment.

The 7 steps to pack fertilized eggs

Now that you have the recommended materials, we can start preparing your fertilized eggs for shipping:

1. Wrap each egg separately in newspapers, to a size that it fits snug in the egg cardboard box. Secure with tape.
2. Wrap the egg box in sufficient plastic foil, so that nothing can leak. Wrap it afterward in several layers of bubble wrap and secure with tape.
3. Prepare the box by double checking its sturdiness and place Styrofoam sheets on the interior of the box.
4. Add a big layer of cushioning materials on the bottom of the box (crumpled paper, packing peanuts, leftover bubble wrap, …).
5. Place the eggs in the middle of the box and fill up the box with cushioning materials, so that nothing moves when you gently shake the box. Seal with sufficient tape.
6. Place the parcel in a larger cardboard box, with Styrofoam sheets on the inside. Make sure the inner box cannot move but don’t overfill your boxes so they won’t tear during transport.
7. Seal the box with sufficient tape and plastic foil. Add a label if needed.

How to pack an egg incubator for delivery

In the case you need information on how to safely pack an egg incubator for delivery, we recommend the following steps:

1. Prepare the egg incubator by securing everything with tape so nothing can come loose during transport. If your egg incubator has a glass or plastic hood, try to fill its interior with cushioning materials such as crumpled paper or packaging peanuts. Note that in case you need to ship fertilized eggs as well you should follow the instructions above to guarantee both the safety of the eggs and of the incubator.
2. Place the incubator in its original box if possible, or in a regular cardboard box if not. Try to add a protective layer of foam wrap or bubble wrap before placing the incubator in the box if it won’t put too much pressure in it.
   Don’t forget that by packing your egg incubator in its original box, you increase the chances of succeeding in case you will decide to start a claim.

3. Place any cables or loose items in a separate plastic bag and label it.
4. Fill the box with cushioning materials to prevent the egg incubator from moving.
5. Wrap the original box with bubble wrap. This will better protect the device against any shocks during transportation.
6. Place the incubator in a bigger cardboard box. This will enable you to further protect your shipment as you can fill the bigger box with additional cushioning materials, such as packing peanuts or more bubble wrap.
7. Seal the box with adhesive tape. And add a label if needed.
