The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one bottom panel comprises a first bottom panel and a second bottom panel, the method further comprising connecting the first bottom panel to the second bottom panel. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first retaining structure comprises a first plurality of panels, and wherein at least partially closing the blank around the container comprises engaging at least one of the first plurality of panels with the upper portion of the container. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the first plurality of panels comprises a first bottom end panel connected to the first bottom panel and a second bottom end panel connected to the second bottom panel, and wherein at least partially closing the blank around the container comprises folding the first bottom end panel and the second bottom end panel inwardly toward the at least one bottom panel so that a bottom of the container rests on the first and second bottom end panels. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first retaining structure comprises a distal upper end panel, and wherein at least partially closing the blank around the container comprises engaging the distal upper end panel with the underside of the rim of the container. 6. The method according to claim 3, wherein the first retaining structure comprises a first side tuck-in panel and a second side tuck-in panel, and wherein at least partially closing the blank around the container comprises tucking the first side tuck-in panel inwardly so that it is disposed between the first side panel and the container. 7. A pack, comprising: a top panel;at least one bottom panel;a first side panel at a first side of the pack;a second side panel at a second side of the pack;a first retaining structure at a first end of the pack, at least one first aperture being formed in the pack adjacent to the first retaining structure;a second retaining structure at a second end of the pack, at least one second aperture being formed in the pack adjacent to the second retaining structure;a container, an upper portion of the container comprising a rim, wherein the top panel, the at least one bottom panel, and the side panels are wrapped around the container, and at least one of the first retaining structure and the second retaining structure engages an underside of the rim of the container; anda flexible vessel abutting the container and the top panel, at least a portion of the flexible vessel extending through at least one of the at least one first aperture and the at least one second aperture. 8. The pack of claim 7, wherein the first retaining structure comprises a first plurality of panels, at least one of the first plurality of panels engaging the underside of the rim of the container. 9. The pack of claim 8, wherein the first plurality of panels comprises a first bottom end panel connected to the first bottom panel and a second bottom end panel connected to the second bottom panel, and wherein a bottom of the container rests on the first and second bottom end panels. 10. The pack according to claim 8, wherein the first plurality of panels comprises a proximal upper end panel foldably connected to an end of the top panel and a distal upper end panel foldably connected to the proximal upper end panel, the distal upper end panel engaging the underside of the rim of the container. 11. The pack according to claim 7, wherein the flexible vessel rests on the upper portion of the container. 12. The pack of claim 7, wherein the at least one bottom panel comprises a first bottom panel and a second bottom panel connected to the first bottom panel. 13.
