Multi-sided reinforced container

A multi-sided container having more than four sides, comprising:

• a plurality of planar panels integrally arranged with respect to each other and with respect to a set of orthogonal x, y and z axes, the z-axis defining a direction line in which the container is configured to support a stacking load, the plurality of panels being foldable to create the multi-sided container having more than four sides;
• the plurality of planar panels comprising a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel, wherein the first panel and the second panel form a contiguity with a first fold line disposed therebetween, wherein the first panel and the third panel form a contiguity with a second fold line disposed therebetween, wherein the first panel is disposed parallel to the z-axis, the second panel is disposed orthogonal to the z-axis, and the third panel is disposed parallel to the z-axis, not parallel with the first panel, and not orthogonal to the first panel;
• a first strength reinforcement feature comprising a first slot having a defined width with a first planar edge oriented orthogonal to the first panel and orthogonal to the z-axis, and a second planar edge oriented orthogonal to the second panel and parallel to the z-axis, the first planar edge being disposed parallel with and a distance away from the first fold line at a distance no greater than half a thickness of the first panel;
• the third panel comprising 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 being disposed a distance away from the first fold line at a distance no greater than half a thickness of the first panel;
• the third planar edge being disposed in a same plane as the first planar edge.
