French term or phrase: trottoir
"Bien mis en avant sur le stand XYZ, le coffret ABC ressemble à une boîte montée, or c’est une boîte pliante qui s’offre le luxe d’être livrée à plat en quatre parties. Ce qui lui donne, une fois montée, des allures de coffret, c’est, entre autres, l’épaisseur des trottoirs qui atteignent 10mm pour une rigidité optimale"

Can anyone tell me what part of the box, the "trottoirs" are?

ledge
Explanation:
The French company Cermex gives 'ledge' as the translation for "trottoir" in this context. There is also a drawing of a box with an strip that forms a narrow ledge of material along the top edges of the box at both sites given below. Then I found a British company that uses ledges as well.

Explanation:
Obviously this is not a technical term, but at least you'll understand what they are talking about once you see the picture on this website (look for the words "semelle trottoir"):
