An egg carton and method and apparatus for forming an egg carton. A main body of the egg carton may be made of a single sheet of material and folded or otherwise bent to form the majority of the carton's interior space.

Hooks on the sides of the partition walls may engage with openings in the main body to secure the main body to the partition walls.
