Best Answer

Six eggs x two eggs (or twelve x two) in an egg carton is far more stable than other arrangements.

A carton of eggs arranged four x three would be unwieldy to handle and store, and result in more frequent breakages. Four x two would be a good size for consumers who don't use eggs much, but it isn't an easily marketable size.

Where I live you do sometimes see twelve x twelve cartons, but they're tricky to handle.
