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.
