Large Cellulose Casings North America

Technical Data

In North America this family of cellulose casing is made up of two casing types featuring varying degrees of stretchability. These casings are designed to give either a cylindrical or irregular shape to finished products, depending on the type of casing used, and cover a range of diameters from 2.07 to 9.55 inches (53 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 colors.
