Again this is a workwear catalogue, and the item in question is a shirt.
The full text is as follows:

Thanks for any help.

decorative trim
My otherwise genial textile dictionary has no translation for "Beleg". This is probably synonymous to "Belag", which is translated as "covering". But I think "Besatzartikel" (decorative trim) may be closer.

Don't think it's a misprint for Belag or your text is from Austria where I understand the word is meaningless in that context.
Backing retains the flavour of the doc. back-up. The all-purpose 'units' or 'widgets' don't work this time.
