Rub & sniff cards

Scent coupons, scent cards, rub & smell direct malings, scratch & sniff labels, scented books and booklets and much more...

Scratch and sniff cards provide additional attention value to printed matter in today’s competitive consumer market. Research by Sanoma indicated that scented scratch and sniff (or rub and sniff) cards and advertisements resulted in the increase of 36% of product purchase, whereas the repeat sales numbers after the first purchase increased by 18%.

Scent the Brand is highly specialised in the production of scent cards with multiple Rub & Sniff scent spots, in various language variants for high circulation international activations:

Scent cards and leaflets in all shapes and sizes
Fragrance coupons
Scented direct mailings
Scented packaging
Scents in newspapers (through heatset and coldset printing)
Fragrance sampling in magazines
Scents in children's books
Scent stickers (for consumer packaging)
Scented coasters (scratch-and-sniff)

Our commonly used printing technique for scented print is sheet fed offset. Scent the Brand uses top notch Heidelberg printing presses with up to 10 ink ducts. This enables us to produce up to 10 different scratch and sniff fragrance spots on each side of the scent card.

Scent cards and all of our other scented printing matters are safe from as well a consumer perspective as from a production point of view. Pure perfume is being encapsulated on water bases until it forms microscopic droplets. The scent is only being released when pressure is being applied to the scent spot by scratching or rubbing. Scent cards can stay intact for multiple years.
