A method of forming a disposable container from weldable plastic film comprising:
- taking a first weldable plastic film having a first pattern formed therein, said first pattern comprising a central first polygonal section comprising a plurality of sides and a first quadrilateral section extending from each side of the first polygonal section wherein each side of said first polygonal section is also a first side of one of said first quadrilateral sections and defines a folding line, wherein each first quadrilateral section has a second side opposite its first side and a third side opposite a fourth side, wherein the third and fourth sides extend between the first and second sides, wherein each first quadrilateral section has a width measured along its folding line and a height as measured transverse to its folding line between its first and second sides, wherein each first quadrilateral section has a height that is different than a height of an adjacent first quadrilateral section;
- taking a second weldable plastic film having a second pattern formed therein, said second pattern comprising a central second polygonal section comprising a plurality of sides and a second quadrilateral section extending from each side of the second polygonal section wherein each side of said second polygonal section is also a first side of one of said second quadrilateral sections and defines a folding line, wherein each second quadrilateral section has a second side opposite its first side and a third side opposite a fourth side, wherein the third and fourth sides extend between the first and second sides, wherein each second quadrilateral section has a width as measured along its folding line and a height as measured transverse to its folding line between its first and second sides, wherein each second quadrilateral section has a height that is different than a height of an adjacent second quadrilateral section, and wherein the second pattern has the same number of second quadrilateral sections as the first pattern has first quadrilateral sections;
- folding each first quadrilateral section about its folding line;
- folding each second quadrilateral section about its folding line;
- aligning the second side of each second quadrilateral section with a second side of each first quadrilateral section defining a polygonal box wherein the first and second polygonal sections define opposite ends of the box and each pair of aligned quadrilateral sections defines a side of said box extending between the first and second polygonal sections, wherein each side of the polygonal box has a first edge opposite a second edge, wherein each first edge is defined by the third sides of each pair of aligned quadrilateral sections and wherein each second edge is defined by the fourth sides of each pair of aligned quadrilateral sections;
- welding each second side of each second quadrilateral to its aligned second side of each first quadrilateral section;
- and
- welding the first edge of each polygonal box side to the second edge of an adjacent polygonal box side.

A polyhedron disposable container formed from flexible weldable plastic film comprising:
- a polygonal first end comprising a plurality of edges;
- a polygonal second end opposite the first end comprising a plurality of edges, wherein the polygonal second end has the same number of edges as the polygonal first end;
- a plurality of sides extending between the polygonal first and second ends, wherein said plurality of sides are equal in number to the number of edges of each of the first and second polygonal ends, wherein each of said plurality of sides extend between an edge of the polygonal first and an edge of the polygonal second end, whereby said plurality of sides define the sides of the polyhedron container and said first and second polygonal ends define opposite ends of the container, wherein each side is welded on opposite edges thereof to two adjacent sides along a first weld line and a second weld line, respectively, wherein each side comprises a third weld line extending between the first weld line and the second weld line;
- an opening formed through a center of the first polygonal end;
- and
- an opening formed on at least one of said sides at a location midway between the first and second weld lines of said side.

- a plurality of generally trapezoidal first sides, wherein a trapezoidal first side extends from an edge of the polygonal second end, wherein an edge of the polygonal second end defines a first edge of a trapezoidal first side, wherein each trapezoidal first side comprises a second edge opposite the first edge, said second edge being longer than said first edge, wherein each trapezoidal first side comprises a third edge extending between the first and second edges and a fourth edge extending between the first and second edges, wherein each trapezoidal first side third edge is welded to an adjacent trapezoidal first side fourth edge along a first weld line;
- a plurality of second sides, wherein said plurality of second sides are equal in number to the number of edges in each of the first and second polygonal ends, wherein each of said plurality of second sides extends between an edge of the polygonal first end and a second edge of a trapezoidal first side, whereby said plurality of second sides define the sides of the polyhedron container, wherein said trapezoidal first sides define a projection extending from said container sides and said first and second polygonal ends define opposite ends of the container, wherein each side is welded on opposite edges thereof to two adjacent sides along a second weld line and a third weld line, respectively, wherein each side comprises a fourth weld line extending between the second weld line and the third weld line;
- and
- an opening formed though a center of the first polygonal end;
- and
- an opening formed on at least one of said sides at a location midway between the first and second weld lines of said side.
