A polygon-shaped, knockdown, and stackable container. The container includes a side wall having a plurality of panels. The plurality of panels include a pair of skins and a plurality of cores. The plurality of cores are sandwiched between the pair of skins to form a laminate. The core has an axial compression strength greater than that of the pair of skins to allow the core to prevent puncturing, to provide insulation, to prevent any deformation or collapse during stacking, to avoid warping, and to resist against bulging as a result of internal material flow, while the pair of skins reduce overall weight.

The invention claimed is: 1. A polygon-shaped, knockdown, and stackable container, comprising: a side wall; wherein said side wall comprises a plurality of panels; wherein said plurality of panels comprise a pair of skins; wherein said plurality of panels comprise a plurality of cores; wherein said plurality of cores of said plurality of panels are sandwiched between said pair of skins of said plurality of panels to form a laminate; and wherein said core has an axial compression strength greater than that of said pair of skins to allow said core to prevent puncturing, to provide insulation, to prevent any deformation or collapse during stacking, to avoid warping, and to resist against bulging as a result of internal material flow, while said pair of skins reduce overall weight; wherein said plurality of panels are defined by a plurality of indentations in said pair of skins so as to form living hinges that allow the side wall to be bent into said plurality of panels; wherein said core of each panel occupies a space short of said living hinges in said pair of skins to avoid interfering with said living hinges in said pair of skins and allow said plurality of panels to be bent into a polygon shape; wherein each core is made entirely of hardwood; wherein each core is not solid and comprises a plurality of separate members to further reduce weight; wherein said plurality of separate members of each core comprise a pair of outer vertical members; wherein said plurality of separate members of each core comprise a pair of outer horizontal members; wherein said plurality of separate members of each core comprise a pair of inner vertical members; and wherein said plurality of separate members of each core comprise an inner horizontal member; wherein said pair of outer vertical members of each core are spaced inwardly of said plurality of indentations; wherein said pair of outer horizontal members of each core extend along upper and lower extremes of said plurality of panels, from one outer vertical member of an associated core to the other outer vertical member of said associated core; wherein said inner horizontal member of each core extends intermediate said pair of outer horizontal members of an associated core, from one outer vertical member of said associated core to said other outer vertical member of said associated core; and wherein said pair of inner vertical members of each core are spaced inwardly of and between said pair of outer vertical members of an associated core, with one inner vertical member of said associated core extending from one outer horizontal member of said associated core to said inner horizontal member of said associated core, and with the other inner vertical member of said associated core extending from the other outer horizontal member of said associated core to said inner horizontal member of said associated core. 2. The container of claim 1, further comprising a pallet; and wherein said side wall is replaceably attached to said pallet. 3. The container of claim 2, further comprising a cover; and wherein said cover is replaceably attached to said side wall to close the polygon-shaped, knockdown, and stackable container after being filled. 4. The container of claim 3, wherein said side wall comprises a plurality of side walls. 5. The container of claim 4, wherein said plurality of side walls are normally rigid boards; wherein said plurality of side walls are generally rectangular; wherein said plurality of side walls are separate and distinct from each other; and wherein said plurality of side walls are replaceably attached to each other, edge-to-edge, by a plurality of connecting members, respectively, to form a closed polygon-shaped side wall. 6. The container of claim 5, further comprising lower attaching brackets; wherein said pallet is normally rigid; and wherein said pallet is polygon-shaped to match that of said closed polygon-shaped side wall to allow said closed polygon-shaped side wall to be replaceably attached to said pallet by said lower attaching brackets. 7. The container of claim 5, further comprising upper attaching brackets; wherein said cover is normally rigid; and wherein said cover is polygon-shaped to match that of said closed polygon-shaped side wall to allow said closed polygon-shaped side wall to be replaceably attached to said cover by said upper attaching brackets. 8. The container of claim 4, wherein each side wall comprises said plurality of panels. 9. The container of claim 6, wherein each lower attaching bracket comprises a lower T-nut; wherein each lower attaching bracket comprises a lower angle iron; wherein said lower angle iron has a transverse portion; and wherein said lower angle iron has an upright portion. 10. The container of claim 9, wherein said lower T-nut is affixed to each of a respective number of said plurality of panels. 11. The container of claim 9, wherein said transverse portion of said lower angle iron is affixed to said pallet by a first lower screw. 12. The container of claim 9, wherein said upright portion of said lower angle iron is replaceably affixed to each of a respective number of said plurality of panels by a lower bolt replaceably engaging an associated lower T-nut. 13. The container of claim 2, wherein said pallet has feet; and wherein said feet of said pallet are affixed to said pallet by lower screws. 14. The container of claim 7, wherein each upper attaching bracket comprises an upper T-nut; wherein each upper attaching bracket comprises an upper angle iron; wherein said upper angle iron has a transverse portion; and wherein said upper angle iron has an upright portion. 15. The container of claim 14, wherein said upper T-nut is affixed to each of a respective number of panels. 16. The container of claim 14, wherein said transverse portion of said upper angle iron is affixed to said cover by a first upper screw. 17. The container of claim 14, wherein said upright portion of said upper angle iron is replaceably affixed to each of a respective number of said panels by an upper bolt replaceably engaging an associated upper T-nut. 18. The container of claim 1, wherein said pair of skins are made of a material selected from the group consisting of Kraft liner boards, virgin liner board, fiber boards, and laminated fiber boards. 19. The container of claim 1, wherein said pair of outer horizontal members of each core receive a lower T-nut and an upper T-nut, respectively. 20. The container of claim 1, further comprising a liquid-impervious liner; wherein said liquid-impervious liner lines said polygon-shaped, knockdown, and stackable container; and wherein said liquid-impervious liner is for packaging a liquid. 21. The container of claim 20, wherein said liquid-impervious liner is a poly coated paper liner; wherein said poly coated paper liner has a poly layer; wherein said poly coated paper liner has a paper layer; and wherein said poly liner is for facing the liquid. 22. The container of claim 21, further comprising an adhesive; wherein said side wall has an interior-facing surface; and wherein said interior-facing surface of said side wall is coated with said adhesive to adhere said paper layer of said poly coated paper liner thereto to keep said poly coated paper liner in place during transport, thereby preventing wear on said poly coated paper liner and to prevent interfering with emptying of the liquid.
