         1 . A container comprising:
 a base comprising:
 a base fold; 
   a body circumferentially connected to the base at the base fold comprising:
 a body fold; 
 one or more face sections; 
 one or more fold sections; 
   a crown circumferentially connected to the body at the body fold comprising:
 one or more face sections; and 
 one or more fold sections. 
   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprises:
 one or more spoke fold.   
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 2 , further comprises:
 one or more angled spoke folds.   
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 3 , wherein one of the face sections in the body is positioned next to one of the fold sections in the body. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 4 , wherein one of the face sections in the crown is positioned next to one of the fold sections in the crown. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 5 , wherein the one of the face sections in the body is positioned next to the face section in the crown. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 6 , wherein the one of the fold sections in the body is positioned next to the fold section in the crown. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 7 , wherein when the container is folded the spoke fold in the body is folded towards the center of the container. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 8 , wherein when the container is folded, the spoke fold in the crown is folded to the outside away from the center of the container. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 6 , wherein the container is folded, the angled spoke fold in the body is folded to the outside away from the center of the container. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 10 , wherein the container is folded the angled spoke fold in the body is folded towards the center of the container. 
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 6 , wherein the container is folded the crown includes an opening formed on the top of the container. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 12 , wherein the container is folded the opening formed on the top of the container is positioned above a plane defined by the body fold. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 12 , wherein the container is folded the opening formed on the top of the container is positioned in line with a plane defined by the body fold. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 12 , wherein the container is folded the opening formed on the top of the container is positioned below a plane defined by the body fold. 
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 12 , wherein the body is folded in an upward direction in comparison to the base such that the angle between the body and a plane defined by the base is greater than ninety degrees. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 12 , wherein the body is folded in an upward direction in comparison to the base such that the angle between the body and a plane defined by the base is substantially ninety degrees. 
     
     
         18 . The container of  claim 12 , wherein the face sections and the fold sections of the body are folded such that the distal ends of the fold sections and the face sections are angled in a counterclockwise direction. 
     
     
         19 . The container of  claim 18 , wherein the face sections and the fold sections of the crown are folded such that the distal ends of the face sections and the fold sections are angled in a clockwise direction. 
     
     
         20 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the base fold is circular.
