Fibrous Casing Products

Fibrous is an especially strong casing.  It's main components are a combination of a paper fleece reinforced by cellulose.

Fibrous casings deliver precise diameter control of the final filled calibre of the product packed inside.  Due to their high mechanical strength they are very suited to pressure filling and to tight compression and closing on stretch clipping eqiupment.

They are smoke permeable and may be pre-stuck to eliminate air pockets.  Suitable for cooked, tempered and dry cured products as well as portion forming, different levels of meat cling can be specified to suit particular applications,  including Easi Peel which has no meat adhesion. 

They are also available with inner and outer barrier coatings and in a range of colours and well as both standard and custom prints.

Fibrous is available in reels, cut pieces, cut/clipped with or without a hanging loop, as well as shirred.

Fibrous is often referred to by its International Size or sometimes by its nominal size.  The flat width of Fibrous can vary depending on certain conditions but this variance does not affect the final stuffed diameter

Therefore, it is best to know the final stuffed diameter that is required for your application and, to assist in this, you can refer to the chart below.
