Abstract: A method of manufacturing a combination of a case accommodating a flexible ynthetic plastics container or bag having a pouring opening and filled at least partly with liquid. The starting point for forming the case is a blank having such folding lines and cuts that when the blank is folded about the synthetic plastics bag, the latter is automatically fixed in the case being formed. The blank has two rectangular portions, one so-called base portion and a top face portion, which portions are interconnected by a second end face panel. The two edges of the base portion opposite the second end face panel and the top face portion connect with a first end face panel and a third end face panel, respectively. The opposed free edges of the base portion and the top face portion connect with side panels, and at least a part of the end face panels is provided with flaps. The various portions are interconnected by means of folding lines.

Abstract: Container for transporting and likewise dispensing liquids, provided with a eceptacle having the shape of a flexible plastics bag with a discharge spout, provided in a more rigid, supporting and enveloping box, a so-called bag-in-box package. It can be brought from a transport position, in which the flexible liquid bag with attached discharge spout is enclosed protectively in the enveloping box, in an operating position wherein, with avoidance of spilling of liquid through pressure on bag and spout, the liquid bag is likewise enclosed in the box, however the discharge spout extends in the container in such a way that it can be operatively combined with an operating mechanism disposed in a beverage vending machine, in order to dispensingly pump liquid from the bag.
