French term or phrase: Sachet plastique cartonnette
This describes the packaging for a (bath) toy and I need to know what the equivalent is in English. From what I can tell, it's a pastic bag with a cardboard lable/backing. This is the text:

Type de boîte. "Sachet plastique cartonnette"
Dimensions boîte. 16.5 x 16 x 10 cm
Colisage. 6

Other examples:
Type de boîte. Boîte ouverte – Try-Me
Dimensions boîte .15 x 20 x 13 cm
Colisage. 6

Many thanks,

English translation:Plastic bag (or "Poly bag") and header card
Explanation:
I suspect that the toy is in a polythene ("poly") bag which is closed by a card that is folded and stapled across the top of the bag. This card may be perforated to enable it to be hung from a rod for display purposes.

plastic bag with/and linerboard


Explanation:
Yes, this is a light cardboard. Termium gives "linerboard" as the translation, and the GDT explains that "cartonnette" is used to make corrugated coardboard (it's the light card stock that goes on either side of the corrugated board). A packaging industry expert may have a better suggestion.

Asker: Thanks Matthew. Linerboard looks like the right translation for the type of card, although I'm not sure if it describes the packaging as a whole.
