Band-aid/Plaster Travel Case Explanation: Depending on whether you're translating into GB or US English, I would suggest using plaster or, resopectively band-aid travel case. Hope this helps. Will |

see below Explanation: Since "Mappe" is sometimes "folder" (if it looks like a folder), you could say "First-aid Folder" or "Bandage Strip Folder" or if those are not dumb enough, you could say "Plaster Master", the world's smallest first-aid kit or "Band-Aid Binder", the world's smallest first-aid kit or "Strip Tease", the world's smallest first-aid kit – If the thing looks like one of these silly "credit card briefcases" you could call it a "strip case". According to NODE, Kristina is right about the plaster. Although I could bet I've heard people in England and Australia call them "plasters". Technically, "sticking plaster" is the tape without the gauze pad, so apparently the Brits also now use "Band-Aid" or "band-aid" even though that is/was a Johnson & Johnson trade name that became generic in the US ages ago. NODE now defines "Band-Aid" or "band-aid" without giving a difference between BE and AE. Adhesive bandage is also ok but unwieldy. Other manufacturers often use the word "strips" or "bandage strips" |
