From a document about Mould Specifications for glass. Proving to be quite a challenge this one! Here's the full context:
Barrettes gravures et inscriptions :
Dans le cas de gravures simples, de barrettes fond ou d’inscription, SGL fournit au Mouliste un plan gravure indiquant le graphisme, la profondeur et la dépouille.
Any help much appreciated!

i've no diea if there is a more formal technical term for this, but I would understand it as being a relatively plain area to be left, perhaps for later engraving, etching, etc. So 'fond' in the sense of a 'background'.
Presumably 'barrette' refers to the fact that this is often a strip suitable for, say, one line of engraving — perhaps the actual articles being moulded here may give you some idea?

: I agree with the idea, but am sure there must be a technical term. You are certainly right about the Asker's incorrect parsing.

Discussion
Barrettes can be glass rods or kinds of decoration...
Or these bits http://www.stallingsglass.com/store/product.php?productid=19...
I read this as 'Dans le cas de' [list]: 'gravures simples', 'barrette fond', 'inscription' — so you really have two separate terms.
