Selecting the right casings

 

What size casing should I use?

We offer several sizes however the correct size depends on the specifications for the type of product being made.

What is the best way to store casings?

Store fibrous casings that have not been soaked in a dry cool room.

Why is my fibrous casing splitting when I stuff it?
  • Did not soak them properly.
  • Casings have been store in a hot dry place.
  • Casing has been over stuffed.
  • Product defidency… call us.
