The products are containers for soap solution, made of smooth coloured plastic: red with a green cap, yellow with a red cap and green with a yellow cap. The caps have a dome-shaped top of clear plastic and have little spheres around them. Each item bears a dark blue label decorated with soap bubbles in a lighter blue. On the front there is the face of a blond child who is making bubbles by blowing on the end of a wand attached to a green cap, as well as the name of the article in red, yellow and orange lettering.
