The present invention provides a flexible liner and bag-in-box container system comprising a collapsible container having a liner attached to the collapsible container, such that when the container is expanded from a collapsed state, the attached liner similarly expands. When the collapsible container is expanded, the liner may expand to substantially conform to the shape of the collapsible container. The liner may further comprise a filler fitting for receiving contents for filling the liner. The filler fitting may comprise one or more annular rings adapted to secure the filler fitting of the liner to an opening in the collapsible container. The collapsible container may be made of corrugated fiberboard. The collapsible container may further include tape having two adhesive sides for securing the collapsible container in an expanded state.

1. A liner and container system comprising: a collapsible container having first and second walls opposed to each other, and a first side wall and a second side wall opposed to the first side wall, wherein the first and second sidewalls are located between the first and second walls, the collapsible container being configurable between: a collapsed state in which the first side wall is folded upon itself along a first fold and the second side wall is folded upon itself along a second fold wherein the first side wall and the second side wall are folded away from each other at the folds allowing the first wall to lay substantially flat and substantially align with the second wall; andan expanded state in which the first and second walls are erected and the first and second side walls are unfolded and generally parallel to one another; anda liner comprising a liquid-tight enclosure that is attached to sides of the collapsible container, so that expansion of the container from the collapsed state to the expanded state causes the liner to expand with the container. 2. The liner and container system of claim 1, wherein the liner comprises a filler fitting that receives contents for filling the liner. 3. The liner and container system of claim 2, wherein the container comprises a first end wall that defines a filler opening for receiving the filler fitting of the liner. 4. The liner and container system of claim 3, further comprising a removable cover component adapted to fit in the filler opening and positioned therein when the filler fitting is removed therefrom. 5. The liner and container system of claim 4, wherein the liner is securely attached to the container while allowing the filler fitting to be removable from the filler opening in the expanded state such that in response to the liner being filled, the filler fitting may be removed from the filler opening and the filler opening may be closed with the removable cover. 6. The liner and container system of claim 3, wherein the filler opening comprises a larger portion and a smaller portion with a slot defining the smaller portion and extending from the larger portion. 7. The liner and container system of claim 6, wherein the filler fitting comprises an annular ring extending outwardly from the filler fitting for securing the filler fitting in the slot while allowing the filler fitting to be removable from the slot and pushed through the larger portion into the collapsible container. 8. The liner and container system of claim 1, further comprising at least one attachment feature adapted to facilitate the closure of the collapsible container in an expanded state. 9. The liner and container system of claim 8, wherein the at least one attachment feature is a piece of tape affixed to a first portion of two overlapping portions of the collapsible container. 10. The liner and container system of claim 9, wherein the tape comprises two adhesive sides and facilitates the attachment of a second portion of the two overlapping portions of the collapsible container to the first portion. 11. The liner and container system of claim 1, wherein the liner is impermeable to water and air. 12. The liner and container system of claim 1, wherein the container is made of a corrugated fiberboard. 13. The liner and container system of claim 1, wherein the liner comprises a plurality of heat sealed side portions that are folded inwardly on themselves to form gussets. 14. A collapsible container system comprising: a collapsible container having a first wall and a second wall opposed to the first wall, and at least a first side portion located between the first and second walls and, the collapsible container being configurable between: a collapsed state in which the first side portion is folded generally down the middle such that the first side portion is folded upon itself and the first wall substantially aligns with the second wall wherein the first side portion folds away from a second opposing side portion; andan expanded state in which the first wall, second wall, and first side portion are erected; anda liner comprising a liquid-tight enclosure formed of plurality of heat sealed liner side portions that are folded inwardly on themselves, in a collapsed state, to form gussets, wherein the liner is securely affixed to the walls of the collapsible container such that in response to the container being expanded from the collapsed state, the attached liner similarly expands, wherein the liner includes a filler fitting that passes through and is removably attached to an end wall by being positioned in an opening which includes a slot portion, wherein the filler fitting is removably attached to the end wall in the expanded state. 15. The collapsible container of claim 14, further comprising a side portion opposed the first side portion and located between the first and second walls, wherein: when the collapsible container is in the collapsed state, the second side portion is folded generally down the middle such that the second side portion is folded upon itself and the first wall substantially aligns with the second wall. 16. The collapsible container of claim 15, wherein the first side portion and the second side portion are configured substantially parallel to one another when the container is in an expanded state. 17. The collapsible container of claim 15, wherein the first side portion and the second wall are configured substantially perpendicular to one another when the container is in an expanded state. 18. A container system comprising: a collapsible container having a plurality of walls that are expandable between a collapsed state and an expanded state, the plurality of walls including first and second walls opposed to each other, a first end wall with an opening providing access to the interior of the collapsible container, and a second side wall opposed to the first side wall, wherein the first and second sidewalls are located between the first and second walls, wherein, in the collapsed state, the first side wall is folded upon itself along a first fold and the second side wall is folded upon itself along a second fold, and the first side wall and the second side wall are folded away from each other at the folds allowing the first wall to lay substantially flat and substantially align with the second wall; anda liner comprising a liquid-tight enclosure formed by a plurality of walls and a filler fitting extending from one of the walls, the liner comprising a plurality of heat sealed side portions that are folded inwardly on themselves to form gussets, the liner being attached to sides of the collapsible container so that expansion of the container from the collapsed state to the expanded state causes the liner to expand within the container, wherein the filler fitting is securable in the opening in the expanded state such that, in the expanded state, the filler fitting is removable from the opening and placed in a position entirely within the collapsible container. 19. The container system of claim 18, wherein the opening comprising larger portion and smaller portion with a slot extending therefrom defining the smaller portion. 20. The container system of claim 19, wherein the filler fitting comprises an annular ring extending outwardly from the filler fitting for securing the filler fitting in the slot while allowing the filler fitting to be removable from the slot and pushed through the larger portion into the collapsible container. 21. The container system of claim 20, comprising a removable cover component shaped to fit the opening and positioned therein when the filler fitting is removed therefrom.
