What's the industry term for the block of credits after a movie trailer? Beyond simply title card?

I was talking to someone a while ago and they used a term that I hadn't heard before. It was easily understandable "what" it was once they said it but now I can't remember. I believe it was being used exclusively to refer to the credits at the end of a movie trailer, although it may also refer to movie posters.

Billing blocks is what we've always used. Occasionally billing cards.

Credits roll. Blocks just appear at once.
