What is this?

What is the small square in various reloading die boxes? Forster has a small yellow plastic piece. RCBS looks like cardboard.... others have similar. I thought it might be some corrosion inhibitor or something, but really not sure. Educate my ignorance.....

I used to tell friends it's in there to make people ask stupid questions.
I suppose it could be used to set the dies just above cam over to allow for what was termed "partial full length sizing".
The paper could also be saturated in some form of corrosion inhibitor or be there to absorb moisture.
I don't know the actual reason though

I've always been told that it is a corrosion inhibitor. Midway used to sell such blocks separately, but I can't find them online at the moment.

Corrosion inhibitor is what I thought also

Another vote for inhibitor

I always thought it was a spacer of sorts to go under the dies and keep them from moving too much...
