PACKAGING

Salted/Net Pack

Strands are loosely tied together in a hank (100 yards or 90 meters) and packed three hanks to a net (unless otherwise requested). Nets are then packed in salt or brine for storage and shipping. Nets are a cost-effective method for customers who prefer the tried and true method of hand feeding casings onto the stuffing horn.

TUBED

Each finished piece of casing is sheared into a plastic tube. This allows the sausage maker to transfer the casing to the stuffing horn easier and faster. reducing change over time and worker strain. This eliminates the possibility of tangling while soaking and improves efficiency on the stuffing lines. When combined with long strand length, productivity and stuffing speed is further enhanced.

PRE-FLUSHED

Each strand of casing is pre-flushed to allow smooth filling and ease of handling. Casings are then placed in a plastic bag with brine and they are sealed-closed. This reduces the soaking time required to prepare the casings for stuffing, expediting the filling process for our customers.

RETAIL PACKS

In order to make our products available to the home sausage maker, we offer smaller quantities of casings packaged in retail packs, ready to be displayed. These are available to our wholesale customers and to the home consumer, through their retail outlets.
