Tape and box -- cut tape?

[mkr5000]

Finally bought myself a lead former (yeah !) -- now that leaded
components are rapidly becoming has-been.

And after buying bulk forever, I need to know --

What is the difference between "cut tape" and "tape and box" that digi
key has listed in their resistors?

I know what tape and reel are --- are tape and box that "fanfold"
arrangement?

I need to start feeding my new lead former.

THANKS

Have you tried asking Digi-Key? (or wherever you're getting them)

Good Luck!

AKA "ammo pack".

Should all be on the datasheets!

In general, "tape and reel" would be parts on tape, rolled onto a reel
(maybe 5,000 parts per reel). "tape and box" is the more compact
folded version of that (maybe 2,000 parts per box). Cut tape would be
some length removed from one of the previously mentioned types (small
quantity only).
