French term or phrase: édition cartonnée
Describing a leaflet/brochure affair
"La plaquette est disponible en édition cartonnée"

A previous KudoZ drew answers of "card" and "stiff paper". I can't see a leaflet being printed on card. Does that leave me with stiff paper?

For what it's worth, some interesting print jargon here

Many thanks (and please don't shout at me if there is a really obvious answer!).

Explanation:
It would be a compromise between cardboard and stiff paper, which I particularly don't like much.

Explanation:
IMO (not so humble) hardback really is for a book. I found boardback trawling the net, unfortuately I can no longer find the reference, sorry.
Version is to avoid falling in to the ever tempting franglais trap ;-)
