(side) gussets
That's what the side pleats on bags are called, but you might just want to say sides and leave it at that.

More general but I'm not sure if it meets the meaning.

By the way is this a pocket or another packing for clothes or textiles?

Note from asker:
| So are the bellows part of the design and not a part of the packaging? I thought 'soffietti' was a technical term for something else. |
| I've found something about 'bellows' pockets (a kind of pleated pocket) I wonder if that has anything to do with it... |
| Vents?? As on a bag |
| It's packaging, one of those paper/ thin cardboard things with ( and I think this is the 'soffietti') expandable sides. Don't know the correct name for this part of a carboard box/ packet. No picture I'm afraid. |

'The standard paper shopping bag has a flat bottom (often with a cardboard reinforcement), side gussets (a fold of paper which allows the bag to store flat and expand for use), and comes with two handles attached to the edges of the bag.'
