What is a correct word to refer to the edge of a sheet protector [US] (aka punched pocket [UK]): edge, stripe, strip, spine?

The word should be understandable to both US and UK native speakers. (I'm neither.)

I mean the white thing at the left.

    I don't know that it has a specific name—at least not one that you could use and be understood by as average a reader as I—so you just have to get more specific with your description. "The strip on the edge of the [sheet protector/punched pocket] in which the holes are punched" is a mouthful but leaves no doubt. Commented Dec 9, 2021 at 23:53

I see several similar product-description pages that refer to the reinforced strip/side as the binding edge. I suggest punched binding edge. This, of course, is the edge that goes into a loose-leaf binder.

Each binding edge is 11-hole punched to ensure they are compatible for any binder or presentation cover. Google Shopping
