Egg packaging lid with improved rigidity to prevent eggs from moving and potentially breaking during transportation. The lid has side walls with serrated projections that can grip knobby surfaces like egg cartons. The serrations are arranged with outer projections, an intermediate projection between them, and a hook on the inner projection. The intermediate projection is longer than half the lid width to provide stability. This prevents simultaneous movement of the outer projections that could damage eggs. Additional stiffening ribs on the edges of the lid can further prevent deformation. The ribs may have protrusions to better grip the cartons.

A food packaging container with a unique design to prevent food from shifting or spreading inside the container while also allowing the contents to be easily viewed. The container has a sloping vessel wall that rises from the bottom all around the periphery, with a height difference of 5 mm or more between the bottom and the upper end of the wall. This prevents the food from moving around or spilling. The sloping wall allows the food to be seen, preventing it from getting hidden or trapped. The container also has legs protruding downward from the bottom to stabilize it. This design eliminates the need for separate internal containers or walls, which can be time-consuming and prone to misalignment.
