1. A blank of foldable sheet material for forming a container, said blank comprising: 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; andat 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 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. 2. A blank in accordance with claim 1, wherein the first vent panel is of equal or greater width than the second vent panel. 3. A blank in accordance with claim 1, wherein each at least partially free side edge is angled outwardly to an apex. 4. A blank in accordance with claim 3, wherein the at least one venting assembly further comprises a fold line extending between the first vent panel and the second vent panel, and the apex is offset from the fold line. 5. A blank in accordance with claim 1, wherein the opening at each end of the at least one venting assembly is configured to enable airflow communication between a cavity of the container and an ambient environment. 6. A blank in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one venting assembly comprises a length that is equal to or less than a length of the top panel. 7. A blank in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a front tuck flap extending from a front edge of the top panel. 8. A blank in accordance with claim 7, wherein an exterior surface of the front tuck flap is configured to engage in a friction fit with an interior surface of a front bottom panel when the container is formed. 9. A blank in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a first top side panel and a first bottom side panel, wherein an exterior surface of the first top side panel is configured to engage in a friction fit with an interior surface of the first bottom side panel when the container is formed. 10. A blank in accordance with claim 1, wherein the upper vent panel extends from the lower vent panel to the top panel. 11. A blank in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a bottom panel and one or more front panel tabs, wherein the one or more front panel tabs are configured to extend downwardly below the bottom panel when the container is formed. 12. A blank of foldable sheet material for forming a container, said blank comprising: 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; andat 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. 13. 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; andat 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. 14. A container in accordance with claim 13, wherein the first vent panel is of equal or greater width than the second vent panel. 15. A container in accordance with claim 13, wherein the at least one venting assembly comprises a length that is equal to or less than a length of the top panel. 16. A container in accordance with claim 13, wherein each partially free side edge is angled outwardly to an apex. 17. A container in accordance with claim 16, wherein the at least one venting assembly further comprises a fold line extending between the first vent panel and the second vent panel, and the apex is offset from the fold line. 18. A container in accordance with claim 13, wherein the at least one venting assembly comprises a length that is approximately one-half of a length of the top panel. 19. A container in accordance with claim 13, the container further comprising a front tuck flap extending from a front edge of the top panel. 20. A container in accordance with claim 19, wherein an exterior surface of the front tuck flap is engaged in a friction fit with an interior surface of a front panel when the container is formed. 21. A container in accordance with claim 13, wherein an exterior surface of a first top side panel is engaged in a friction fit with an interior surface of a first bottom side panel when the container is formed. 22. A container in accordance with claim 13, wherein the openings at each end of the at least one venting assembly enable airflow communication between a cavity of the container and an ambient environment. 23. A container in accordance with claim 13, the container further comprising one or more front panel tabs and a bottom panel, wherein the one or more front panel tabs are configured to extend downwardly below the bottom panel to form one or more support structures to facilitate stacking containers one on top of another. 24. A container in accordance with claim 23, wherein the one or more front panel tabs are configured to function in combination with the at least one venting assembly to create space between stacked containers to facilitate airflow.
