spread position
Spreads are not products, because you create it yourself as an options contract (which is the product) , i.e. sell the S&P500 1000 call and 980 put. If at expiration the spread closes between these two benchmarks, it expires worthless (what you want) and you pocket the premium on both ends.

spread product
Impossible to be more precise without context - what spread does this product refer to, and what's the structure?

Although I agree with Klaus\'s interpretation of TIN\'s query (I believe \"spread position\" is correct here), spreads can, in fact, be products. There are examples for exchange-traded spreads (such as inter-product spreads which were once listed by Eurex, as well as their upcoming \"delta-neutral trading products\", which are essentially futures/options spreads), as well as OTC products (mostly warrants, but also certificates, etc.), which are based on embedded spreads or represent spreads between different assets.
