Marketing - Retail / UK English to Eurospanish
English term or phrase: Mass products
As used in:

Discount does not apply to: tobacco, liquor, electronics, jewellery, toys, souvenir, mass products and toiletries.

This is UK English. I'm unable to find any reference in this context, but I suspect that it's some sort of redundancy related to toiletries, or a subset of toiletries, as in "cosmetics."

The options that I am considering are these:

1)Skip the "mass" part and assume "productos de aseo personal" would cover both "mass" and "toiletries."


2) cosméticos y productos de higiene personal

(Using "cosméticos" as a translation of "mass" is a huge risk, but I have a feeling that I´m on the right track.)

Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks in advance!

agree  JohnMcDove: Sí, yo también creo que es esto. En contexto tal vez se podría decir: "otros productos fabricados en serie"... :-) /Incluso, extrapolando un poco, "otros productos estándar", tal vez.
