Are only 2-dimensional boxes permitted? That is, are these allowed?

If I only have 2x2 boxes on hand, can I shrink wrap 3 of them together to
package an order of 12 eggs? What am I trying in minimize: the number of
different kinds of boxes to keep in stock, or the number of empty pockets that
I ship (e.g., with an order for 5), or what?
Does it matter that people mostly buy a dozen eggs, or a half-dozen eggs, and
that they rarely buy just one egg?
What's the relative cost of boxes to eggs? E.g., if someone orders 5 eggs and
I ship them a pre-packaged box of 6, is that better or worse (for me) than
keeping around a stock of boxes that hold 5 eggs and hand-packing one just for
them? Can I change the catalog so the price of a order of 5 eggs is the cost
of 5 eggs plus the cost of a box that holds 6 eggs, whereas the price of an
order of 6 eggs is the cost of 6 eggs plus the cost of the same box? Probably
I've wandered outside of the question you wanted me to express in J.

As a result of Billl’s message we have found a new supplier of cookie boxes
which will decrease costs and increase profist for our company.
However, the challenge remains the same. After eliminataing the need for B, we
have three boxes so far. The issue remains to find all the possible boxed eggs for
our customers if we can send 1 to 12 eggs upon request. The answer should
determine the number of different boxes we will need. ]AC12A=:2 6$<'0'

rank conjunction is difficult to understand even for adult.
IMO 2 6$<'0' is better,
2 6$<'0'

Suppose you want to start a little business to sell ancy Almond Cookies.
You want to be able to provide boxes of cookies for any order up to 12
cookies. Createe a way to show all the box designs you will need for your
cookies. Orders may be from 1 to 12 cookies. Also include a way to have
the computer generate a count of the different shapes of boxes you will
need. Show a cookie in each box. Sinple J please.
