Is there a name for the promotional packs of tissues peculiar to Japan?


Anybody who has visited a Japanese city will have noticed that peculiar type
of advertising not common elsewhere.

Packets of tissues containing some promotional offer or even quite like a
calling card are ubiquitous. Is there a special term for them?




ポケットティッシュ is the generic term for those tissue packs. As far as I know, there
is no one word for "ポケットティッシュ for promotion".

[Manufacturers of those tissue

seem to call them:

  * [販促]{はんそく}用の(ポケット)ティッシュ (販促 = abbreviation for 販売促進 (sales promotion))
  * [宣伝]{せんでん}用の(ポケット)ティッシュ
  * プロモーション用の(ポケット)ティッシュ

**Edit:** Everyone knows those promotional tissue packs, so in general you can
just say 「駅でティッシュをもらった」 and 「ティッシュ配りのアルバイト」and so on, without the risk of
misunderstanding.
