Dutch term or phrase: kopzetting
de legborden worden volledig automatisch geproduceerd in een zogenaamde doosvorm waarbij de sterkte verkregen wordt door een unieke verbindingsmethode tussen de langsrand en kopzetting (3-voudige omplooi in de lengte en 2-voudige omplooi in de diepte)

end fold(ing)
Explanation:
This is more a pointer than an answer.

First, the 'kop' of a plank or board (or something resembling a plank or board) is the 'end' in English.

Second, from the translations of 'zetbank' and related terms in the Kluwer WB Werktuigbouwkunde, I presume a 'zetting' in this context is some sort of edge folding (or folded edge) on a sheet-metal item. From the context, it sounds like this is a typical sheet-metal shelf for a storage rack, which is stiffened by folding the edges at right angles to the main surface to form a sort of shallow (upside-down) tray.

agree  Jack den Haan: I was thinking along the same lines. With a short longitudinal section of the longitudinal edge being folded again (3-voudige omplooi). Not sure if this is the correct term, though.

  -> Thanks - I'm also unsure of the right technical term, hence 'more of a pointer than an answer'.
