Abstract
The system includes a rigid container having a fitment coupling, and a flexible pouch with a fitment thereon which is placed within a recess of the rigid container. The fitment has an annular attachment member which engages with a mating member on the fitment coupling. In this manner, the fitment is secured to the rigid container thereby allowing an user/consumer to dispense the contents of the flexible pouch by gripping the container. In an alternate embodiment, the rigid container permits the user to grasp the pouch to dispense the contents without raising the rigid container from a table. Various fitments may be employed in practicing the present invention such as flip cap, screw cap, tamper-proof fitments, and the like.
