This invention is directed to an improved bag-in-box apparatus for containing and dispensing liquids such as beverages. The interior surface of the bottom of the box ( ) is preferably sloped downward toward the spout ( ) of the bag ( ) such that gravity helps feed the liquid toward the spout ( ). In lieu of or in conjunction with slopes, the interior bottom surface of the box ( ) may have terraces ( ), curves ( ), corrugations ( ), fan-like ridges ( ), or beams ( ). The present invention thereby reduces the amount of residual liquid as the liquid is withdrawn from the bag ( ) without the need for an evacuation strip or a special slanted rack. Although the primary intended application of the present invention is in bag-in-box packages for containing and dispensing beverages, this invention may also be used to advantage in other liquid dispensing applications.
