DVD pocket

Hi all people in here,

Can someone tell me the correct word/words in Dutch for a DVD storage pocket? It is a thin plastic pocket to store DVDs. (im from Denmark)

I can see that a variety of the words are used, but I am not sure which ones covers the best. It is not the traditional jewel cases, but as mentioned above, a very thin plastic pocket.

DVD opbergmap
DVD tasje
DVD tassen
DVD houder
DVD hoesjes
DVD map

I hope someone can help with the most correct word/words if more covers the term. If you want you can see the product here:

I am not trying to do marketing for the product, admitted, it is my webshop, but I need to have the right wordings use the correct terms in the text.

I appreciate all inputs.

Thanks a lot.

'opbergmap' is, in fact, the binder used to store your plastic pockets in, not the pockets itself.
I would call those 'plastic dvd hoesjes', as seen here:

https://www.opus.nl/doosjes-hoesjes/...n-hoesjes.html

to make a clear distinction between plastic ones and paper ones.

Hi Werner,

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. It is appreciated :)
I think I will do like this: Plastic dvd hoesjes - ruimtebesparende DVD opbergen
I guess it would work.

First dvd you do in small letters, the second time in capitals.
it should be "ruimtebesparend DVD opbergen" (without the "e" after "ruimtebesparend")

Thanks:)
Is it preferable to write "dvd" with small letters or with capitals?
In DK we always write it like this: DVD.

That's a good one...
Officially it's in small letters, but almost everybody uses it in capitals.
If you ask me, I would prefer capitals

It doesn't really matter whether you use uppercase or lowercase, but a consequent choice contributes to professionalism.

It does matter, as we have an official spelling rule in Dutch stating that abbreviations that are used as a word (rather than as the full phrase that many may not even know) the correct spelling is in lowercase: dvd, aids, havo etc. In English you would write DVD, AIDS etc.

The correct spelling would then be dvd-hoesje, so with a hyphen, as Dutch does not use separate words, although you see many write like that on forums like this.

Many may not care, but the same goes for d-t-errors and interpunction. If you know the rule, you can apply it.

Nice, I didn't know this, so thank you(y)

Thank you for this info . it's nice to know.

Let's say you wanted to search in Google for this, would you then use the hyphen or just leave it out?

That should not matter; Google should be able to find both, irrespective of the hyphen (just tried it, same results with both ways of searching).
