French term or phrase: en trame
The term trame comes up a few times throughout the document. here are some examples:

Les fonds
• comme toile de fond, deux fonds ont été créés pour compléter cette boîte à outils.
• Le premier, plus audacieux et complexe, peut être utilisé en entier ou partiellement sur les produits.
• Le deuxième, plus simple, peut être utilisé pour les emballages - en trame -, dans la partie arrière des hangtags ou dans la partie intérieure des produits.

And here:

Trame packaging
Les trames intérieures (ex sur un papier d’emballage filigrane) sont à choisir parmi les propositions de fonds graphiques dans chaque univers.

as a (screened) background
Explanation:
The key phrase is "Le deuxième, plus simple, peut être utilisé pour les emballages - en trame -, dans la partie arrière".
IMO, this means "the second, more simple, can be used as a (screened) background at the back."
Alternatively, "en trame" can en taken to means simply "en toile de fond", ie "as a background".

Might as well translate the whole phrase to clarify my suggestion :)

gravure


Explanation:
emballages en trame (fr) = gravure packaging (Eng)
Trame packaging (fr) = Gravure packaging (Eng) (note: I would translating this the same way as above. The first term seems to refer to the packaging itself, while the second term seems to refer to the process of packaging.)
Les trames intérieures (fr)= Gravure printing on interior of packaging (Eng) (note: this is my explanation, I can't find an exact "term" for "trames intérieures".

sorry, typing too fast. Meant to say : "note: I would translate this the same way..."
but you know what I mean :-)

Example sentence(s):
  • Gravure printing is also simply called gravure. The link to the book below provides a good explanation.
