French term

détourage

French to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Plastic forming
I have a list of words for translation without much context. The term refers to the manufacture of plastic garbage bins. The full phrase is "collecte papier détourage CKD"
I have translated this so far as "Paper collection lip CKD" but cannot really justify the term "détourage"
Help appreciated

Hi Catherine. Since my last post, the client has said that it involves "Découper un morceau de couvercle par exemple pour mettre un enjoliveur verre" so I suspect that "trimming" will be the word to use.
Clive Jones (asker) Oct 26, 2011:
Yes. "Completely Knocked Down" meaning in separate parts
Catharine Cellier-Smart Oct 26, 2011:
CKD when you say you're thinking of translating it as "Paper collection lip CKD" do you actually know what CKD stands for?
