Charles Davis May 30, 2013:
Hi Jenni I changed the language combination from Spanish-English to English-Spanish, because the original term is in English and I assumed Ángel wanted a translation of it in Spanish. The other question, on "box tops", was posted as English-Spanish.
Jenni Lukac (X) May 30, 2013:
I see the language combination has changed. This is a tough one because such programs are not run in all countries. You might have to suggest to your client that it's necessary to add a little explanation. Is this for a US (bilingual) Spanish translation? In other countries some possibilities for coming up with a term mean radically different things. See this one in the Canary Islands, for example: http://sonandosonrisas.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/cupones-coedu... .
Angel Biojo (asker) May 30, 2013:
box top Thank you Jenni, but does it have a translation?

Ver mi respuesta a la pregunta sobre "box tops". Son cupones, y así se llaman en las páginas españolas sobre el programa Box Tops for Education. Me parece muy probable que tu texto aluda a este programa, y en tal caso, creo que conviene incluir el término "Box Tops".

Hay muchísimas páginas de Estados Unidos sobre este programa. He aquí un ejemplo, con una imagen de una "Box Top Collection Sheet"; como se ve aquí, los "box tops" son cupones que se pegan a la hoja:

I've noted in my answer to the order question you posted that these days it might not be the actual top of a box but rather a symbol somewhere on the packaging that functioned as a coupon.
