i see this on the link you sent:
Verowire Prototype Wiring System

The Verowire wiring system is ideal for prototypes, breadboards and  
limited production runs. Finished results are of a high standard with  
a neat orderly appearance achieved in significantly less time than  
more conventional methods.
