Method for manufacturing coloured egg packages from a pulp, charcterized in that the egg package receives a final outside colour after the package is molded by spraying a dye onto the package.
A molded egg package consisting essentially of a basic body (6) made from a pulp which molded package carries a sprayed-on coat of dye.
An apparatus for manufacturing coloured egg packages comprising de-nesting means (1) for the consecutive delivery of egg packages (6) which not yet have their final colour from a stack (9) and for depositing said packages on a conveyor device (2) with a pre-determined mutual distance;
- a spray battery (3) placed above a first processing section (10a) of said conveyor device (2) adapted for the spraying-on of a dye on the egg packages which are moving below said spray battery (3);
- and a drying battery (4) above a second processing section (10b) of said conveyor device (2) in the moving direction of the egg packages after said spray battery (3) adapted to achieve a rapid drying of the sprayed-on dye by heating means.
