Advertise in POLYC
Two editions, two kinds of reader. That matters for what you are buying.
POLYC is a new English-language magazine about cannabis culture, published in the Netherlands by Tinge World. It comes in two editions, and they reach two different kinds of reader.
The trade edition
A4, perfect bound, printed on heavy stock. It is not sold on a newsstand and there is no public checkout for it. It goes to licensed premises and to trade buyers, who give a business name when they order.
That channel is the reason advertising works here. Nothing in this edition is promotion aimed at the public, and the 18+ filter sits at the counter the magazine arrives behind. If you supply this trade and cannot advertise to consumers, these pages are open to you.
Suppliers who fit: packaging and jars, grinders, vaporisers, testing laboratories, till and menu systems, cameras and security, insurance, bookkeeping for shop clients, staff training, shop fitting, and the non-cannabis stock that pays a large share of a shop’s bills.
The retail edition
Printed one copy at a time for an adult buyer who supplies their own photographs and confirms they are over 18 at the order. Their name is in it. Their pages are in it.
Nobody throws that away. An advert in a keepsake is read more than once, and it gets shown to other people. Retail placement is priced above the trade rate for that reason.
Rates
Issue 01 opening rates. Book the same size into the next issue and your rate holds. Rates are not published; ask for the current rate card through the form below or at editor@tingeworld.com. Booking for the January issue closes 15 December 2026.
Sizes are full page, half page, quarter page and strip.
What we will not carry
- Advertising for cannabis itself, or for any point of sale
- Prices shown next to a place where a product can be bought
- Any ranking or comparison of premises
- German cannabis club names
- Anything aimed at, or likely to appeal to, anyone under 18
- Health or medical claims
We will say no to a booking that breaks any of that, and we will say why. Our full publishing rules are on the standards page.
How it works
Send a logo and a line of copy and we will set the advert for you at no charge, or send finished artwork to our specification. Space is confirmed in writing, invoiced by Tinge World, KVK 42080406, and paid by IBAN transfer or Zelle before the issue goes to print.
