Just happened to find some relevant material which should probably scale to
25 Amps.

     trace width         1mm       2.5mm
35 micron copper         3.0A      6.0A
70 micron copper         5.0A      10.0A

where a 20C temp rise is presumed acceptable - looks like about 2 oz copper
in a 7mm strip should handle 25 A though the table came with a note that
for high current, round wire is preferred.

Automotive Applications", S. Sheehan, M. Rider, IPC 5th Flex conference JUn
