In america, a thick, non-conductive paper is commonly used for this.
For some odd reason it called "fish paper". The stuff we used to use at
an pro-audio manufacturer I once worked for was stiff, had a almost
plastic feel about it (sort of like a Fedex envelope) and blue in
color. Worked great cause the resistor leads could not poke through
cause it was so tough. And it was non-conductive of course.
