1. A bag-in-box dispensing system comprising:
an outer box enclosing an inner flexible container including a fitment, wherein the outer box comprises:
a first top panel;
a first bottom panel opposite the first top panel;
a first side panel comprising a top edge, a bottom edge, a front edge, and a back edge;
a second side panel opposite the first side panel comprising a top edge, a bottom edge, a front edge, and a back edge;
a first front panel comprising a substantially circular perforation and a partially separable flap configured to allow a user to separate a portion of the first front panel, expose the dispensing system, secure a portion of the dispensing system in the substantially circular perforation, and rejoin the partially separable flap so that the substantially circular perforation may operate to keep the dispensing system fixed within the outer box;
a second front panel disposed adjacent to the first front panel, such that the second front panel forms the outer surface of the box, wherein the second front panel comprises a perforation extending from an edge of the second front panel and configured to allow a portion of the second front panel to be removed, thereby exposing the substantially circular perforation and the partially separable flap in the first front panel; and
a first back panel opposite the first and second front panels.
