There is provided a collapsible container for dispensing liquid products, such as soap. The collapsible container is provided with V-shaped hinged portions at either end of a vertical hinge line on the sides of the container to allow inward collapse of the container and recessed panels on the front and back of the container to provide rigidity to the structure, thus allowing a controlled collapse as well as rapid filling of the collapsible container with the liquid soap.
