Printing: Our presses are capable of one to eight color graphics to print front/back sides of the<br />

Treatments: A variety of casing treatments have been tailored to provide meat adhesion or quick<br />
release after cooking/cooling.<br />
– E-Z PEEL ® is an internal treatment to promote easy release of the casing from the final<br />
product. The casing lifts away from the product quickly and cleanly, leaving no scarring of<br />
the product surface.<br />

Product Usage<br />
SOAKING: Large Cellulose casings which are not<br />
pre-humidified, must be soaked in water prior to use<br />
(only 1-2 minutes in cool water for clipped products).<br />
Pre-humidified casings do not require soaking prior<br />
to use.<br />
STUFFING / CLIPPING: It is important to select the<br />
proper clip size and clipping pressure to assure a<br />
tight fit without causing damage to the casing.<br />
Storage & Handling<br />
Store Large Cellulose casing in a cool, dry place avoiding proximity to heat sources as well as hot<br />
or freezing storage areas. Pre-humidified casings should be stored at temperatures between 55°<br />
to 75° F (12° - 24° C) and should remain sealed in original containers until ready for use. Unused<br />
casings should be kept in airtight bags and replaced in the original carton to maintain proper<br />
moisture content. Keep stock current by using the oldest stock first. To avoid possible damage, it<br />
is imperative that knives, sharp instruments and hooks not be used to open cartons or caddies.<br />
