Abstract: A multi-sided container has more than four sides and foldable panels integrally arranged with respect to each other. A first panel and a second panel form a contiguity with a first fold line disposed therebetween. The first panel and a third panel form a contiguity with a second fold line disposed therebetween. The third panel is not parallel with and not orthogonal to the first panel. A first strength reinforcement feature includes a first slot having a first planar edge oriented orthogonal to the first panel and orthogonal to a z-axis, and a second planar edge oriented orthogonal to the second panel and parallel to the z-axis. The third panel includes a cut edge proximate the first fold line having a third planar edge oriented orthogonal to the third panel and orthogonal to the z-axis. The third planar edge is disposed in a same plane as the first planar edge.

Abstract: A reinforced container includes first, second and third panels, the first and second panels having a first fold line therebetween, the first and third panels having a second fold line therebetween, the first and second panels being disposed parallel to the z-axis, the third panel being disposed orthogonal to the z-axis, and the first fold line defining a first corner oriented parallel to the z-axis. A strength enhancing feature is disposed at the top of the first corner with a continuous planar edge orthogonal to the z-axis. The third panel defines a top surface of the container, the planar edge of the strength enhancing feature being disposed substantially parallel with at least a portion of the top surface, and the top surface has a corner portion disposed relative to the planar edge at a distance no greater than one half thickness of the third panel above the planar edge.
