doosreclame

Doosreclame is a Dutch term for advertising that is incorporated into product packaging, particularly on the exterior of the box or carton that accompanies a consumer product. The concept also includes promotional materials placed inside the package. The objective is to reach shoppers at the moment of purchase or during unboxing, using the tangible, high-visibility surface of the packaging and any inserts to convey brand messages, offers, or product information.

Forms and methods include printed advertising on packaging surfaces; promotional inserts such as leaflets, discount coupons, samples, or miniature catalogs placed inside the box; and digital links (for example QR codes or activation codes) printed on the packaging that drive online campaigns. Doosreclame can be used for product launches, cross-promotions, or loyalty incentives and is often coordinated with retail campaigns.

Effectiveness and limitations: the reach of doosreclame depends on distribution and packaging design, and its impact is typically measured through metrics such as coupon redemption, code scans, short-term sales lift, or digital engagement. Critics point to consumer irritation, clutter, and environmental concerns when advertisements are perceived as intrusive. Regulations in some jurisdictions govern disclosures, health and safety labeling, and sustainability requirements related to packaging.

History and usage: doosreclame emerged with modern packaging and mass media marketing, reaching prominence in the latter half of the 20th century. With growing emphasis on sustainability and digital advertising, its use has become more selective and market-specific, continuing in certain sectors and regions as a cost-efficient form of promotion.
