• a top portion comprising a top panel, wherein the top panel includes a front edge, a rear edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge;
• and
• at least one venting assembly comprising a first vent panel and a second vent panel extending from the first vent panel, the first and second vent panels having at least partially free side edges, the partially free side edges at least partially defining an opening at each end of the at least one venting assembly,
• wherein the at least one venting assembly is positioned along one or more of the front edge, the rear edge, the first side edge, and the second side edge, wherein the at least one venting assembly comprises a length that is approximately one-half of a length of the top panel.

A container formed from a blank of foldable sheet material, said container comprising:

• a top portion comprising a top panel, wherein the top panel includes a front edge, rear edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge;
• and
• at least one venting assembly comprising a first vent panel and a second vent panel hingedly connected to the first vent panel, the first and second vent panels having at least partially free side edges, the partially free side edges at least partially defining an opening at each end of the at least one venting assembly,
• wherein the at least one venting assembly is positioned along one or more of the front edge, the rear edge, the first side edge, and the second side edge, wherein the first vent panel is a lower vent panel and the second vent panel is an upper vent panel, wherein the upper vent panel is configured to extend above the top panel when the container is formed.
