French to English

Description of the specifications for the folder for a commercial brochure with "2 rabats en 3e de couverture de 5 cm en barbe et à pied" containing promotional materials. I'm unsure of "barbe" in this context and think it simply means the edge (deckle edge as suggested by the GDT seems to apply to handmade paper). So far, I've come up with "Two 5 cm flaps on the edge and bottom of the inside back cover". I'd be grateful if anyone could confirm or suggest any better ideas. MTIA, Dean

edge
In IATE it gives 'deckle edge' too, but I also found this:
Mechanical engineering, TRANSPORT, Land transport [COM] Full entry
FR barbe (tranchant d'un outil)
EN wire edge
so I guess 'edge' would be equally acceptable in yr context
