double ribbon
Explanation:
As far as I understand, there are machines which provide different candy packing shapes, and in your case the machine produces double ribbon candy wrapping, as you can see on the picture. I hope this helps

"double twist" also seems to be used, I used google translation for the Sacmi site earlier, however the site itself has English/Italian version and in there they use "double twist" - I recommend this one instead of double ribbon... Good luck! :)
