Stefan de Boeck (X) Jul 25, 2005:
I'd go with lead cards (in any sense). Maybe you're translating the by now infamous Biggenrace Game? Nothing else seems to add up here. If not Biggengame: generalize into 'lead cards' (may not be an actual reply card, or is it?)
Ken Cox Jul 24, 2005:
Since this is all promo material, perhaps voerkaarten are lead cards (in the sense of sales leads) or reply cards (a pure stab-in-the dark guess, based on one meaning of 'voer' (bait) and experience with sales mentality...).

tri-fold leaflet & ...

Text didn't fit in the above screen anymore. Can't find the meaning of a voerkaart yet. Perhaps a business card is the most obvious here?
Peer comment(s):

agree Johan Venter : This is probably a better option than what I provided for drieluiken, given the context.

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Mariette this is the nearest answer to drieluiken. Google give 4+k for it, whereas it gives 16k for three-fold (leaflet) which I've chosen. Kenneth's suggestions for voerkaarten related to sales made me realise that they are probably product information sheets that are either mailed to customers or handed out at trade exhibitions etc. so thanks for that Kenneth.

triptych & feeding cards

triptych - three-paneled picture

Feeding cards are part of a game, perhaps with the company's logo on the cards?
Peer comment(s):

agree mariette (X) : with triptych, no link for feeding cards to be found. Voerkaarten are only mentioned for one particular game: biggenrace. George, could this be a typo?I didn't find the voerkaart yet but did find another word for drieluik: tri-fold leaflet http://graffixx

That's the game I had in mind. If it is a typo, any idea what the other word could be? Thanks :)
