Large Cellulose Casings Asia Pacific/Latin America

General Data

For customers in Asia Pacific and Latin America, this family of cellulose casing is made up of four casing types featuring varying degrees of stretchability. These casings are designed to give either a cylindrical or oval shape to finished products, depending on the type of casing used, and cover a range of diameters from 36 mm to 245 mm.

In their various presentations, they are suited to the production methods used in the manufacture of high quality meat products, which they enhance thanks to their common advantages:

• Permeability to smoke and water vapor,
• Exceptional clarity,
• Glossy surface,
• High quality printing, available in up to 6 colours.
