This collection of vintage Sunlight soap packaging was produced for the Belgian market, likely during the mid-20th century. Each rectangular box is constructed from printed cardboard and features the classic Lever Brothers brand livery in a blue and yellow colour scheme. The primary face displays the brand name Sunlight in white block lettering against a blue ground, with the French word Savon set within a red rectangular cartouche below. The side panels include the Dutch translation Zeep, reflecting the bilingual nature of the target market. Fine print on the side of the boxes includes a Waarborg or guarantee mention of 200,000 Frank, a reference to the former Belgian currency.
