A flexible liner for use with a mixing container of the type having a bottom wall and a post extending inwardly of that bottom wall. The liner comprises a sleeve closed at its bottom end and open at its top end, and has a configuration generally complementary to the interior configuration of the container. The bottom end wall of the liner carries a fitment that has a tubular portion which has a closed top end and an open bottom end, and which has a configuration generally complementary to the configuration of the post. The bottom end of the sleeve has a hole in alignment with the tubular portion of the fitment. The liner is insertable into the container and conforms generally to the interior of the container, and the fitment fits over and receives the post. The tubular portion of the fitment receives a shaft that carries mixing blades for mixing fluids in the container. The flexible liner constitutes a barrier between the container and a fluid substance mixed therein.
