Could it be a "pull-out section" of a mgazine?

"...am Ende dieser Ausgabe, die wir wieder als Wendeheft mit unserem Partnerverlag ... für Sie zusammengestellt haben."

Thanks!

flip issue
Explanation:
Thanks to the support from Martin and Steffen, I am posting this as an answer. Looking around, it seems that "flip" on its own is more common than "flip-over". This seems a reasonable reference:

Women's Health April 2009 Beauty Flip Issue is Fabulous
We were there to hear Keri's take on how to eat healthier in quick and easy ways, and also to celebrate a unique feature: the very first Food Flip issue. The "flip" features one side of the magazine with the regular Women's Health format, but turn it over and upside down, and the other side had food-related topics.

I also found this in a "comics" glossary:

flip-book:
A comic which contains 2 stories, which start at opposite ends of the book. Each story is "flipped" upside down compared to the other story. Also referred to as "tete-beche".

Thanks, Susan. As I researched flip-over and flip, I came across a lot of references to comics - I think the concept may well have originated there :-)

Das Wendeheft-Prinzip
Turn upside down –
das Ding mit dem Dreh

Manchmal sind es die kleinen Dinge, die eine große Wirkung zeigen. Ein Beispiel: die sogenannten Wendehefte. Gemeint sind Fachzeitschriften oder Kataloge, deren Inhalt in zwei Teile aufgeteilt ist. Der Leser muss, um einen neuen Inhaltsteil zu lesen, das Heft um 180 Grad drehen. Damit steht der andere Teil „auf dem Kopf“.
