PACKAGING AND SERVICES

Some of the packing methods might not be available for all the products from the catalogue. For details please contact us.


This is a traditional method of packing casings. The amount of meters on a roll can be individually adjusted for the costumer needs.

This procedure allows the casing to be regularly shirred in a compact stick. Shirred casing allows to eliminate the time-consuming and incovenient stage of manual applying the casing on the funnel.

Easy-peel casings are a modified functionality of traditional casing. Thank to reduced adhesion of casing to the stuffing, casing is easy to remove from the final product. These casings are used for sliced meat products.

Perforation is making a series of little holes. The purpose of this procedure is to remove the air or fluid that is situated between the stuffing and the casings. Perforation also allows migration of constituents into the product.

RTU casings allow to eliminate the hassle of soaking of casings during production. RTU casings are made for producers who want to improve production efficiency, increase productivity and maintain the same quality of meat products.

Casings may be cut into pieces of desired length. Pieces can hace a closed end: loop or clip. Short pieces of casing allow to soak and use only desired quantity of casings.

Looped casings are a combination of casings and traditional loop. The loop is is robust and provides greater strength during filling than manual binding of casings.

Collagen film may be cut into section of desired lenght. Sheets of film allow to take only required quantity of film out of the box. Size of sheets is individually issued and depends on the costumer needs.

Inks based on organic solvents are recommended for use with traditional straight casings. During printing Mapre and inks producer requirements should be respected.
