reglet

Thin flat strip

A reglet is a narrow, flat molding used in architecture, typically a thin strip of wood or metal that separates panels or fills spaces between larger elements.

In printing, a reglet is a thin strip of wood used to create blank space between lines of type or around the edges of a page.

Both senses share the idea of a slender filler piece.
