English translation:(side) gussets
Explanation:
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.

Do you have any picture or something visual? We can come to a more accurate decision i think...

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

Bellows has a meaning as "Any flexible container or enclosure, as one used to cover a moving joint."

Notes to answerer
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.

Asker: I've found something about 'bellows' pockets (a kind of pleated pocket) I wonder if that has anything to do with it...

Asker: Vents?? As on a bag

Asker: 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.
