1. A dispensing system for dispensing a pumpable product from a pouch comprising: a. a carton comprising: i. a first cut out to accommodate a pouch fitment;ii. a second cut out comprising a horizontal and vertical portion; andiii. a third cut out;b. a pouch disposed within said carton, said pouch comprising: i. a first wall and a second wall, a first end and a second end, a first side edge and a second side edge, a first transverse seal and a second transverse seal, and a longitudinal seal disposed between the first side edge and the second side edge, and extending from the first transverse seal to the second transverse seal; andii. a pouch fitment disposed on the first wall of the pouch, wherein the pouch fitment is disposed within the first cut out of said carton; and;c. a pump assembly comprising: i. a piercing fitment that aligns with said pouch fitment;ii. two connecting arms joined together by a connector that is inserted into said second cut out of said carton;iii. a support arm comprising a support that fits into said third cut out of said carton; andiv. a dispensing mechanism;wherein said pouch is filled with a pumpable product. 2. The dispensing system of claim 1, wherein said pouch is formed by a vertical form-fill-seal technique or a horizontal form-fill-seal technique. 3. The dispensing system of claim 1, wherein the pouch fitment is disposed on the outer surface of the first wall of the pouch, about halfway between the first and second transverse seals of the pouch. 4. The dispensing system of claim 1, wherein said dispensing mechanism is selected from the group consisting of: a spigot, siphon, pump, tap, nozzle, hose, or combinations thereof. 5. A method of dispensing a pumpable product from a pouch, said method comprising: a. providing a carton comprising: i. a first cut out to accommodate a pouch fitment;ii. a second cut out comprising a horizontal and a vertical portion; andiii. a third cut out;b. providing a pouch comprising: i. a first wall and a second wall, a first end and a second end, a first side edge and a second side edge, a first transverse seal and a second transverse seal, and a longitudinal seal disposed between the first side edge and the second side edge, and extending from the first transverse seal to the second transverse seal; andii. a pouch fitment disposed on the first wall of the pouch, wherein the pouch fitment is disposed within the first cut out of said carton;c. providing a pump assembly comprising: i. a piercing fitment that aligns with said pouch fitment;ii. first and second connecting arms joined together by a connector that is inserted into said second cut out of said carton;iii. a third arm comprising a support that fits into said third cut out of said carton; andiv. a dispensing mechanism;d. filling said pouch with a pumpable product;e. positioning said pouch inside said carton such that said pouch fitment is supported by said first cut out;f. positioning said connector of said pump assembly into said horizontal portion of said second cut out;g. positioning said connector of said pump assembly into said vertical portion of said second cut outh. positioning said pump assembly such that the pouch fitment is aligned with said piercing fitment;i. piercing said pouch with said piercing fitment by positioning said piercing fitment within said pouch fitment;j. inserting said support of said supporting arm into said third cut out of said carton; andk. initiating said pump assembly to dispense pumpable product out of said pouch. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein said pouch is formed by a vertical form-fill-seal technique or a horizontal form-fill-seal technique. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the pouch fitment is disposed on the outer surface of the first wall of the pouch, about halfway between the first and second transverse seals of the pouch. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein said dispensing mechanism is selected from the group consisting of: a spigot, siphon, pump, tap, nozzle, hose, or combinations thereof. 9. A method of making a dispensing system, said method comprising: a. providing a carton comprising: i. a first cut out to accommodate a pouch fitment;ii. a second cut out comprising a horizontal and a vertical portion; andiii. a third cut out;b. providing a pouch comprising: i. a first wall and a second wall, a first end and a second end, a first side edge and a second side edge, a first transverse seal and a second transverse seal, and a longitudinal seal disposed between the first side edge and the second side edge, and extending from the first transverse seal to the second transverse seal; andii. a pouch fitment disposed on the first wall of the pouch, wherein the pouch fitment is disposed within the first cut out of said carton;c. providing a pump assembly comprising: i. a piercing fitment that aligns with said pouch fitment;ii. two connecting arms joined together by a connector that is inserted into said second cut out of said carton;iii. a support arm comprising a support that fits into said third cut out of said carton; andiv. a dispensing mechanism;d. filling said pouch with a pumpable product;e. positioning said pouch inside said carton such that said pouch fitment is supported by said first cut out;f. positioning said connector of said pump assembly into said horizontal portion of said second cut out;g. positioning said connector of said pump assembly into said vertical portion of said second cut out;h. positioning said pump assembly such that the pouch fitment is aligned with said piercing fitment;i. piercing said pouch with said piercing fitment by positioning said piercing fitment within said pouch fitment;j. inserting said support of said supporting arm into said third cut out of said carton; andk. initiating said pump assembly to dispense pumpable product out of said pouch. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said pouch is formed by a vertical form-fill-seal technique or a horizontal form-fill-seal technique. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the pouch fitment is disposed on the outer surface of the first wall of the pouch, about halfway between the first and second transverse seals of the pouch. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein said dispensing mechanism is selected from the group consisting of: a spigot, siphon, pump, tap, nozzle, hose, or combinations thereof.
