A bag-in-the-box construction comprising an inner container (12) in the form of a flexible bag, an outer container (10) in the form of a cardboard or corrugated board box, and a tap (14) for dispensing from the inner container. The tap (14) is welded or otherwise secured to the bag (12) and, when the bag is packed into the box (10), part of the tap (14) is pulled through an opening (134) in the box so that this part (74) lies outside the box. The box is formed with a pane (132) bounded by a perforated line, the opening being in this panel. When it is desired to dispense the contents of the bag, the part (74) of the tap which is external of the box (10) is gripped and pulled so that the remainder of the tap (14) bears against the inside face of the panel (132). The panel (132) eventually tears away and the tap (14) can then be pulled through the resulting aperture.
