When the sampler package is placed as insert in stacks of magazines or the like, the stack becomes cumulatively bulky due to the significant thickness of the sampler package, thus creating a ''footballing'' effect in the stack of magazines.

Selected
eiförmig, Oval, aufgeblasen....
I believe your text is referring to the shape of an American football, fat in the middle and rather pointed at either end. I do not think I have come across such an expression in German. You may have to use some descriptive term as above.

although this makes absolutely no sense for your context, perhaps \"Dominoeffekt\" is more like it?

Zieharmonika-Effekt
Wie wärs damit? Ein etwas anderer Blickwinkel auf das, was da passiert.

: Also den Gedankensprung von eiförmig oder oval zu Ziehharmonika kann ich nun wirklich nicht nachvollziehen.

Ganz einfach: der Stapel wird auseinander gezogen und damit höher. Ich sagte ja bereits... ein etwas anderer Blickwinkel. Eiförmig ist die einzelne Zeitung. Stelle dir mal 10 davon übereinander vor.
