The assembly (1) has a bag (2) to be filled with a liquid material and a box that accommodates the bag. The bag includes an outflow element i.e. valve (6), for emptying the bag, where the outflow element extends outwards through an opening (7) of the box. A flexible collar (8) surrounds the outflow element, and extends beyond an edge of the opening related to the outflow element. The collar is designed such that the outflow element is fixed in a position related to the box by clamping engagement of the collar between a filled bag and the box in a filled condition of the bag. An independent claim is also included for a method for utilizing a bag-in-box assembly.
