The system includes a rigid container having a fitment coupling, and a flexible pouch with a fitment thereon which is placed within a recess of the rigid container. The fitment has an annular attachment member which engages with a mating member on the fitment coupling. In this manner, the fitment is secured to the rigid container thereby allowing an user/consumer to dispense the contents of the flexible pouch by gripping the container. In an alternate embodiment, the rigid container permits the user to grasp the pouch to dispense the contents without raising the rigid container from a table. Various fitments may be employed in practicing the present invention such as flip cap, screw cap, tamper-proof fitments, and the like.

[ We claim as our invention:] [1.] A system for dispensing a flowable material from a flexible pouch, the system comprising:a fitment connected to the flexible pouch, the fitment having a hallow cylindrical projection portion and a recloseable cap, the hallow cylindrical portion having an annular attachment member thereon; anda rigid container, the rigid container having a continuous wall having an upper and lower boundary, the continuous wall defining a recess having a predetermined depth extending from the upper boundary to the lower boundary for placement of the flexible pouch therein, the rigid container having a dispensing end and a gripping end opposite the dispensing end, the rigid container having a fitment coupling encompassing an indentation at the upper boundary of the dispensing end, the fitment coupling having a mating member for engagement with the annular attachment member of the fitment; whereby the flexible pouch having the fitment thereon is placed within the recess of the rigid container with the fitment engaged with the fitment coupling through placement of the annular attachment member with the mating member thereby allowing for facilitated dispensing of the flowable material from the flexible pouch through operation of the gripping end. [12.] A system for facilitated dispersion of a flowable material from a flexible pouch, the system comprising:a fitment having a hallow cylindrical portion, a flange for placement on the outside of a pouch, a releasable cap at one end of the cylindrical portion and a pouch integration portion for piercing the flexible pouch at another end, the hallow cylindrical portion having an annular attachment member thereon; anda rigid container, the rigid container having a continuous wall having an upper and lower boundary, the continuous wall defining a recess having a predetermined depth extending from the upper boundary to the lower boundary for placement of the flexible pouch therein, the rigid container having a dispensing end and a gripping end opposite the dispensing end, the rigid container having a fitment coupling encompassing an indentation at the upper boundary of the dispensing end, the fitment coupling having a mating member for engagement with the annular attachment member of the fitment; whereby the fitment pierces and is attached to the flexible pouch thereby allowing for the flexible pouch having the fitment thereon to be placed within the recess of the rigid container with the fitment engaged with the fitment coupling through placement of the annular attachment member with the mating member thereby allowing for facilitated dispensing of the flowable material from the flexible pouch through operation of the gripping end. The system according to claim 12 wherein the fitment is a flip-cap fitment. The system according to claim 12 wherein the fitment is a screw-cap fitment. The system according to claim 12 wherein the rigid container is sized to accommodate a flexible pouch having a predetermined capacity, the flexible pouch varying in capacity from 1 liter to 20 liters. The system according to claim 12 wherein the continuous wall of the rigid container defines a rectangular shaped recess. The system according to claim 12 wherein the continuous wall of the rigid container defines a elliptical shaped recess. The system according to claim 12 wherein the annular attachment member is an annular protrusion. The system according to claim 12 wherein the mating member is a channel.
