I fill these completely with damp potting soil or vermiculite. These measure 4"x6"x2". 

This nesting container is filled with damp vermiculite. 

Notice the screen cover for the nesting container. This keeps the nesting medium in and the crickets from digging out the eggs. this is also why I FILL the boxes with the medium. I have two screen covers that I use in the colony, then I lay the full cover over them when incubating.

This was taken from outside the colony. Notice the position of the laying container. It is touching the egg flats. This allows easier access for the crickets.
