Sweden was a mass producer of matchbox’s and labels, presumably due to the vast resources of wood, that also supplied the paper industry with wood pulp.

The Modern Encyclopaedia Czech Matchbox labels With the founding of the Peoples Republic of Czechoslovakia in 1948, the Solo Matchbox factories came under the control of Soviet central government.
