Polystyrene caps are made by winding a long length of foil into a sandwich, with the leadout of one foil being at the opposite end to the lead of the other foil. this makes for a rather high self inductance, which is only fixable by using the extended foil construction, where each winding is deliberately made long on the one side so it overlaps the dielectric on the side, so that you can spray metal onto it to short all the turns together. The high self inductance makes it a very good series LC circuit and can be a problem.
This method though is hard with polystyrene, as it has such a low melting point, so it is not used much for them, but is very popular for making the MKS polycarbonate capacitors which are made in a large ring then cut to size when finished. For polystyrene they make the long foils then simply crimp them together with the leadout, then shrink the outer covering over it for stress relief, often additionally placing the finished capacitor in a plastic case and potting it as well, as the leadout connections are very fragile.
