Bag-in-box assembly

A bag-in-box assembly comprising:

• a box having an inner surface, the inner surface defining a compartment;
• a flexible container filled with a flowable material, the flexible container located in the compartment;
• the flexible container comprising:
• A. a front panel, a rear panel, a first gusseted side panel, and a second gusseted side panel, the gusseted side panels adjoining the front panel and the rear panel along peripheral seals to form a chamber;
• B. each peripheral seal having
• (i) an arcuate body seal inner edge (ABSIE) with opposing ends,
• (ii) a tapered seal inner edge (TSIE) extending from each end of the body seal;
• C. the flexible container comprises at least one ABSIE having a radius of curvature, Rc, from 1.0 mm to 300.0 mm;
• the bag-in-box assembly comprising
• 1. a top perimeter, a center perimeter, and a bottom perimeter;
• 2. an aggregate contact length (ACL) at each perimeter wherein
• (i) a top ACL is from 50% to 90% of the top perimeter;
• (ii) a center ACL is from 5% to 50% of the center perimeter;
• (iii) a bottom ACL is from 50% to 90% of the bottom perimeter;
• and
• wherein the bag-in-box assembly passes a one meter drop test in accordance with drop test method A.
