Key features: - Edible (Nippi) and non-edible (Fibran) collagen casing options - Tight diameter control with a strong, tender bite and reduced shrink - Suitable for cooked, fresh, dry and smoked sausages - GFSI, ISO 9001, Kosher & Halal certified, EU/US food-contact compliant - Bulk supply with sample availability for evaluation before ordering What is Collagen Casing? Collagen is a naturally occurring, long, fibrous protein used for many years as a raw material in the food and casing industry. Collagen sausage casing is manufactured by breaking collagen fibre down into a solution and extruding it into tubes of uniform thickness and diameter, giving a strong, consistent membrane that is either edible or non-edible depending on the application. Sripath Foods supplies both categories in India through ViskoTeepak's Nippi (edible) and Fibran (non-edible) collagen ranges. Types of Collagen Casing We Offer Nippi Edible Collagen (for fresh, smoked & cooked sausages): R-type — multi-purpose casing for processed, smoked, semi-dried and dried sausage; extra-strong membrane for high-speed stuffing, tender bite after cooking. K-type & CK-type — alternative bite characteristics to R-type, used for snack sticks, Chinese sausages and cupping pepperoni (available up to 38mm diameter). F-type — designed for fresh sausage cooked by deep-frying, grilling or pan-frying; low shrinkage and minimal breakage during linking. NF — for fully cooked fresh/frozen links such as breakfast sausage, andouille and chorizo; smooth, effective production process. Fibran Non-Edible Collagen (for cured, smoked & cooked sausages): S1 — straight and round casing, Ø19–140mm, for smoked/cooked sausages and salami-type products. NF — high-permeability casing for cooked sausages and cured products requiring prolonged cooking (salami, cured Iberian loin, fuet). TER (Tender Edible Round) — tender, natural-casing substitute for fresh, cooked and smoked Frankfurt-type sausages. SET (Straight Edible Tender) — for large-caliber (38mm+) smoked and cooked sausages, no peeling required. COLEX — extra-thin-wall, ready-to-use edible casing with high adherence and elasticity for cooked dinner sausage. Applications of Collagen Casing Sausage casings for fresh, cooked, smoked and dry sausages Snack sticks, Chinese sausages, cupping pepperoni Breakfast links (pork, turkey, chicken), andouille, chorizo Salami, cured Iberian loin, fuet and other charcuterie Meat processing industry — automated, high-speed sausage production lines Storage & Handling Store collagen casings in a cool, dry environment (typically 35–59°F / 2–15°C depending on type), away from direct light and moisture. Avoid freezing. Keep opened boxes sealed and use promptly once opened, since improper storage can dry out the casing and cause breakage during stuffing.

A: Edible collagen casing (Nippi) is consumed along with the sausage and is used for fresh, smoked and cooked sausages like breakfast links and snack sticks. Non-edible collagen casing (Fibran) is peeled off before consumption and is typically used for larger-caliber cooked, smoked and cured products such as salami and charcuterie. Q: Which collagen casing type should I use for snack sticks or pepperoni? A: Nippi K-type or CK-type is designed specifically for products like snack sticks, Chinese sausages and cupping pepperoni, offering an alternative bite characteristic to the standard R-type. Q: Can collagen casing be used for smoked and cured sausages? A: Yes. Fibran S1 and NF are built for smoked and cooked sausages including cured products like salami and fuet that need prolonged cooking with good smoke permeability. Q: What is the minimum order quantity for collagen casing? A: Our minimum order quantity is 1 box. We also provide a free 50g sample so you can evaluate the casing before placing a bulk order.

A practical guide to matching collagen, cellulose, fibrous and plastic casings to every chicken product, with shrink and adhesion settings for high-moisture poultry emulsions. FAQ: Q: What is the best casing for chicken sausage? A: It depends on the product. Fresh retail chicken sausage links are best made in edible collagen casing; skinless chicken frankfurters use cellulose (Wienie-Pak) casing; chicken salami needs permeable fibrous casing; and chicken ham, mortadella and rolls perform best in engineered plastic casing with high shrink and adhesion. Q: Which casing is used for chicken salami in India? A: Fibrous casing. It is permeable to smoke and moisture, has the tensile strength to withstand high-speed stuffing, holds a uniform caliber for consistent slicing, and is available in mahogany and other colours that give pale chicken salami visual depth. Q: Can I use the same casing for chicken sausage as for pork sausage? A: Not always. Poultry emulsions carry more moisture, less fat and a weaker protein gel than pork, so they are more prone to jelly pockets, purge and wrinkling. The casing type may be the same, but the shrink level and meat adhesion grade usually need to be adjusted for chicken. Q: Is collagen casing suitable for chicken sausage? A: Yes. Edible collagen casing is the standard choice for fresh chilled and frozen chicken sausage links. It gives a tender bite, uniform caliber, high-speed line performance and far more consistent supply than natural casing. Q: Are chicken sausage casings halal certified? A: Casing-level halal certification is available and is routinely requested by Indian buyers. Sripath Foods supplies ViskoTeepak casings with GFSI-recognized food safety, ISO 9001, Kosher and Halal certification, along with EU/US food-contact compliance documentation. Q: Why does my chicken sausage have jelly or water pockets under the casing? A: This is usually a meat adhesion problem made worse by the high moisture content of poultry emulsion. Moving to a higher adhesion grade (HA, HA+ or VHA) bonds the casing to the product surface and eliminates the separation. Q: Why does my chicken sausage wrinkle after chilling? A: The casing's shrink level is too low for your cooling profile. Higher shrink pulls the casing tight as the product cools. Poultry products commonly run well in the 10–15% shrink range, though this should be confirmed against your own recipe and process. Q: What casing is used for skinless chicken hot dogs? A: Cellulose casing (Wienie-Pak). The product is stuffed, cooked and smoked in the casing, which is then peeled away completely before packing — producing a smooth, uniform, casing-free frank with the diameter accuracy QSR buyers specify. Q: How do I improve the colour of chicken sausage? A: Chicken emulsion is naturally pale. The fastest fixes are casing-based: colour-transfer casings that impart surface colour, mahogany or coloured fibrous casing for salami, or printed plastic casing for retail SKUs. Q: Which casing gives the best yield for chicken products? A: Engineered plastic casing. It has the lowest weight loss of any casing type and a high moisture and oxygen barrier, which matters most for high-added-water poultry emulsions. This applies only to non-smoked products unless you use the Permeable Series. Q: What casing should I use for chicken ham and poultry rolls? A: The Nova Shape Series plastic casing, engineered for molded and D-shaped products with controlled shrink and excellent print quality. Round chicken mortadella and bologna suit the Core Series instead. Q: Can chicken sausage be smoked in plastic casing? A: Only with the Permeable Series. Standard plastic casing is impermeable and blocks smoke. The Nova Permeable Series is engineered so cured, smoked and fermented products can be made in plastic casing while retaining a natural, artisan appearance.

FAQ: Q: What is plastic casing used for in meat processing? A: Plastic casing is a non-edible, engineered casing used for cooked hams, mortadella, chorizo, liver sausage and pâtés, as well as processed cheese, butter, tofu and plant-based products, hot dogs, hot-fill soups and gravies, and pet food. It is preferred wherever high yield, a strong moisture and oxygen barrier, precise caliber control and printed retail branding are required. Q: What is ViskoTeepak Nova plastic casing? A: Nova is ViskoTeepak's engineered plastic casing line, extruded from one or multiple layers of food-grade plastic resins, oriented through a bubble process to build in specific mechanical properties, and stabilized through annealing for durability and structural integrity. Sripath Foods is India's exclusive importer and distributor of the Nova range. Q: Which plastic casing series should I choose for cooked ham? A: Molded and D-shaped ham products are usually best served by the Shape Series, which offers controlled shrink and outstanding print quality. Cylindrical hung products that need precise final sizing suit the True Series, while high-volume whole-muscle production is covered by the Industrial & Automation Series. Q: Can plastic casing be used for smoked or fermented sausage? A: Yes — with the Permeable Series. Standard plastic casing is impermeable and unsuitable for smoking or natural drying, but the Nova Permeable Series is engineered so that salami, pepperoni, ring bologna and smoked hams can be produced in plastic casing with a natural, artisan appearance. Q: What shrink levels are available in plastic casing? A: Nova plastic casings are available in 0%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 15% and 20% shrink levels, depending on the series. Higher shrink pulls the casing tight during cooling to eliminate wrinkles and purge pockets; lower or zero shrink suits rigid and molded products. Q: What does meat adhesion mean in plastic casing specifications? A: Meat adhesion describes how strongly the casing bonds to the product surface. Nova offers Standard, AP, HA, HA+ and VHA grades. High-adhesion grades prevent fat and jelly separation and give a clean slice face, while lower adhesion is chosen where the casing must peel away easily before slicing or repacking. Q: What thicknesses (gauges) does plastic casing come in? A: Gauge options include 30, 38, 43, 45, 48, 50, 55 and 60 micron. Thicker gauges provide strength and barrier for large calibers, heavy fill weights and long shelf life; thinner gauges reduce material cost and suit smaller calibers and high-speed automated lines. Q: Plastic casing vs fibrous casing — which is better? A: They serve different products. Plastic casing wins on yield, barrier, shelf life, print quality and dimensional precision, making it the standard for cooked ham, mortadella, pâté, cheese and vegan products. Fibrous casing is permeable and is the correct choice for smoked and naturally dried products such as salami and pepperoni — unless you use the Nova Permeable Series. Q: Is plastic casing edible? A: No. Plastic casing is non-edible and must be peeled or removed before the product is sliced, packed or consumed. Collagen casing in small calibers and natural casing are the edible alternatives. Q: How should plastic casing be stored? A: Store, transport and handle the casing in a sealed plastic bag, away from dust, moisture and direct sunlight, in a dry, cool place at room temperature. High temperatures can reduce flat width and affect final shrinkage, so these conditions should be maintained throughout transport and storage — particularly important in Indian summer conditions. Q: Is plastic casing available with halal and ISO certification in India? A: Yes. Nova plastic casings supplied by Sripath Foods carry GFSI-recognized food safety certification, ISO 9001, Kosher and Halal certification, along with EU/US food-contact compliance, with documentation available for export and organised-retail buyers. Q: Can plastic casing be printed with our brand? A: Yes. Plastic casing offers an excellent multi-colour print surface, and the Shape Series in particular is known for outstanding print quality — making it well suited to retail-ready, branded ham, mortadella, cheese and plant-based SKUs. Q: Can plastic casing be used for cheese, butter and vegan products? A: Yes. The Core and Shape Series are widely used for processed cheese, butter, tofu, soy and meat-analogue products, offering the same yield, barrier and caliber-consistency benefits as in meat applications.

FAQ: Q: What are sausage casings? A: Sausage casings are tubular materials u2014 natural, collagen, cellulose, fibrous or plastic u2014 used to hold ground and emulsified meat during stuffing, cooking, smoking and slicing. They shape the product, control diameter, and in many cases directly affect texture, appearance and shelf life. Q: Which casing is best for smoked sausage? A: Fibrous casing is generally preferred for long-cured, heavily smoked products like salami and pepperoni because of its high smoke permeability and dimensional stability. For smaller smoked sausages, cellulose casing (Wienie-Pak) is the standard choice. Q: Are collagen casings edible? A: Some are and some aren't. Edible collagen casings (like the Nippi range) are designed to be eaten with the sausage u2014 used for fresh, snack-stick and breakfast sausage applications. Non-edible collagen casings (like the Fibran range) are peeled off before consumption and are used mainly for larger, cured or cooked products. Q: Which casing is best for hot dogs? A: Cellulose casing is the industry standard for hot dogs and frankfurters. It's shirred onto a stuffing horn for high-speed production, then peeled off after cooking, leaving the familiar skinless hot dog. Q: What casing is used for salami? A: Fibrous casing is the most common choice for salami because it holds up well through long curing and drying cycles and gives excellent, consistent slicing performance. Q: How do I choose the right casing? A: Start with your product type and process: what you're making, how it's cooked or cured, what diameter and shelf life you need, and what your stuffing equipment can handle. From there you can narrow down to a casing family, then a specific type within it. Q: What are fibrous casings used for? A: Fibrous casings are used for salami, pepperoni, bologna, mortadella, cooked ham and other sliced deli meats u2014 anywhere that precise diameter control and clean slicing matter. Q: Can casings be printed? A: Yes. Fibrous and plastic casings both take printing well u2014 up to six colours in some ranges u2014 which is commonly used for branding on retail packs. Cellulose casing can also be printed, though its printable surface area is more limited than fibrous or plastic. Q: Which casing provides the best shelf life? A: Plastic casing generally offers the strongest barrier properties against oxygen and moisture, which is why it's the preferred choice for cooked hams, luncheon meat and other products where extended shelf life matters most. Q: Where can meat processors source reliable sausage casings? A: Sripath Foods is India's exclusive importer, supplier, wholesaler and distributor for the ViskoTeepak range of collagen, cellulose, fibrous and plastic casings, based in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, with free samples available for evaluation. --- ## Contact & Enquiries - [Contact Us](https://www.sripathfoods.com/#contact): Enquiry form (company name, contact person, business email, phone, location, product category, requirements). - [Order Free Samples]: Popup form available site-wide (name, phone, email, product interest) for requesting a free sample before a bulk order. ## Policies - [Privacy Policy](https://www.sripathfoods.com/privacy-policy.php): What data is collected via the contact form and chatbot, how it's used, and third-party processors (Anthropic Claude API, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity). - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.sripathfoods.com/terms-and-conditions.php): Terms for using the site, chatbot, enquiries, free samples, and orders.
