Strip and Ribbon
"Strip" is product with width of .250" or more, while "ribbon" is
product with width below .250".
H. Cross Company uses two basic techniques for manufacturing:
A. Slit ribbon or strips - Produced from sheet or foil of the desired
finished thickness, which is then precision slit to the desired width and
tolerance. (End product has square edges; length is limited by length of
starting sheet or foil.)
B. Flattened-wire ribbons or strips - Produced from wire of suitable
diameter that is flattened to the desired thickness and width. Starting
wire is specially processed and closely controlled in order to yield a
high quality finished product. (End product has round edges; length is
limited by length of starting wire, which is generally available in longer
lengths than sheet or foil.)

Sheet and Foil
"Sheet" is flat-rolled with thickness of .005" or more, while "foil" is
flat-rolled with thickness below .005" to .0003". It is generally supplied
in widths from .030" up to 3.5" depending on the material. All Sheet and
Foil products are produced with square (slit) edges with length limited by
length of starting sheet or foil.
Wire and Rod
"Wire" is round material below 0.060 in. diameter, usually furnished in
coiled form, while "rod" is round material 0.060 in. diameter and above,
usually furnished in straightened and cut lengths
