In 2026, a customer from Ethiopia invested in our 3000–3500 pcs/h paper tray making machine to establish a local paper egg tray production line. This project helped the client reduce packaging costs, stabilize supply, and build a sustainable recycling-based business.
Customer Background and Pre-Purchase Challenges
The customer operates a poultry-related packaging business in Ethiopia. Before purchasing the machine, they faced several serious challenges:
- Long-term dependence on third-party egg tray suppliers.
- Unstable supply and frequent price fluctuations.
- Increasing transportation and packaging costs.
- Inconsistent tray quality affecting product safety.
These issues directly impacted their profitability and business expansion. The customer decided to invest in their own paper tray making machine to achieve production independence and cost control.
Recommended Solution — 3000–3500 PCS/H Paper Tray Making Machine
After analyzing the client’s production requirements and local market demand, we recommended a medium-capacity paper egg tray machine suitable for commercial production.
This model provides stable output, energy efficiency, and reliable molding performance, making it ideal for growing businesses.
Machine Parameters
Below are the technical specifications of the machine supplied to the Ethiopian customer:
