They should be kept in the box to stop them absorbing flavours from other foods - such as onions, which will affect their flavour. Also, the carton provides some physical protection so the eggs won't get smashed.

Either cardboard or Styrofoam cartons will help protect the eggs from breaking and insulate them somewhat from cold and heat. When packed tightly in shipping crates the cartons reduce the bumping and shock of shipping.
