German term or phrase: Klemmnaht
"Vordruckalben

Eine besonders repräsentative und ansprechende Form der Unterbringung von Briefmarken sind Vordruckalben. Bei Vordruckalben sind die Briefmarken des jeweiligen Sammelgebietes in Schwarz-Weiß (absichtlich nicht in Farbe! - damit man die Lücken auf einen Blick erkennt) auf hochwertigem holzfreien und alterungsbeständigen Karton vorgedruckt. In Größe der Markenvordrucke sind SF-Schutztaschen aus glasklarer Polystyrolfolie (weichmacherfrei) auf die Vordrucke geklebt. Die Klemmnaht am unteren Rand der Tasche hält die Briefmarke sicher fest. Es gibt Albenblätter auf Wunsch auch in der sog. "Normal"-Ausführung ohne SF-Schutztaschen. Das Leuchtturm Vordruckalben-Programm umfaßt ca. 140 Sammelgebiete. Am Anfang jeden Jahres werden für die im Vorjahr in den verschiedenen Sammelgebieten (= Länder) neu erschienenen Briefmarken-Albenblätter hergestellt. Diese nachträglich erscheinenden Blätter nennt man 'Nachträge'."

The stamp-collecting text again. Does anyone know what the English equivalent of "Klemmnaht" is? TIA once more for your assistance.

"The bottom edge of the pocket is bound and prevents.....


Good picture here (maybe you've seen it already).

Looks like just "seam" should word, so thanks Gareth. The "Klemm" bit threw me, but I guess it's a case of German overkill, as you say in response to another of my questions! Thanks very much for that Gareth - appreciate your help.
