I find this question very confusing, but if you mean it's just directions for the printer, then kader probably means "inset". Anything that's not part of the main text is put into a separate "kader". I'm busy with a magazine at the moment and the term used there is actually "inzet", no doubt influenced by the English term. Perhaps you have a letter that needs to be inset??

Yes, I translated it as 'frame' given that it only said kader and not kadertext which I thought strange. Thanks anyway
Els Spin May 30, 2007:
I am not sure what you mean by a kader at the end of an article or paper. Do you mean a box with additional information? That would be a 'tekstkader - text frame' and the text would be 'kadertekst - frame text'.
Or is this old news? :-)

Not unless you can give us some accurate context ;-)

I am not sure this is what you are looking for, but a kaderbrief comes from the Finance Minister (according to van Dale).
Note from asker:
Thanks, I know the VD definitions and also the Ministry 'letters' as I used to work for the Justitie Ministry but I am still unhappy as to how to translate the word 'kader' in broader contexts. For example, when it appears at the end of a (technical) text on its own. A direction to a printer perhaps? The phrase 'In het kader van...' is also sometimes hard to contextualise.
Something went wrong...
