Clear cellulose casings are the most widely used and versatile option within the cellulose casing range. They provide consistent wall thickness, excellent tensile strength and reliable elasticity for efficient commercial processing. Their permeability supports smoking and even colour development, while their strong heat resistance makes them suitable for demanding cooking applications. Clear cellulose casings are also easy to peel, helping manufacturers achieve smooth production, consistent results and a clean, professional finished product.
