Japanese term or phrase: 付け合せ
I was told this means「1枚の紙からいくつ取れるか」. But I'm struggling to find a succinct English term for it. It appears as a column heading in a chart, and the values appearing under it are things like 3x5, 1x2, and 1x5. For what it's worth, there is a separate column for "size," giving HxWxD in mm.
Any help would be appreciated!

Explanation:
I could not find a direct translation that seems to meet the specific description here, but the following links is a Japanese explanation of what "付け合わせ" is in the Japanese printing business:

After reading through these, I found the following English sites which seem to relate to what was being described in the Japanese sites:

That said, I could garner the terminology "multiple-up printing" which is a description of a technique where multiple prints can be made to a single sheet of paper for cutting and binding later.

As for the numbers underneath, I couldn't exactly find a reference to those, but it seems to denote the number of pages that can be cut from the sheet, so in the case of "3x5" it sounds like "3-by-5, for a total of 15 cuts". If the "size" section shows a smaller area dependent on the multiplier here, then it probably means what I have here (then again, I'm just guessing this one).

Example sentence(s):
  • The cutting process can conform to multiple-up prints for exact cutting.
