A microelectronic device package including a package substrate, microelectronic component disposed on a first surface of a first portion of the substrate, and encapsulant material surrounding the microelectronic electronic component. An exposed surface of the first portion of the substrate is exposed through an opening in a first major surface of the encapsulant material. The exposed surface of the first portion has an edge. Encapsulant material is adjacent to the edge at the first major surface. The exposed surface is opposite the first surface. A stress relief feature located in one of the first major surface or a second major surface of the encapsulant material. The second major surface is opposite the first major surface. The stress relief feature reduces an amount of the encapsulant material and is 1 mm or less of a plane of the edge of the exposed surface. The plane is generally perpendicular to the exposed surface.
