FIND THE RIGHT CASING FOR YOUR SAUSAGE

Not sure which casing to buy? Start with what you are making.

Casing for Natural Sausage

Natural sausage casing comes in three types: hog casings for bratwurst, Italian sausage, and smoked or dry sausage, sheep casings for thin links, and beef casings for large, traditional sausage.

Casing for Breakfast Sausage

Natural sheep casings are the premium choice for breakfast sausage links. Collagen casings are a consistent, easy to use alternative.

Casing for Snack Sticks and Beef Sticks

Collagen casings are the most popular choice for snack sticks and beef sticks. Cellulose casings are also used for dried beef sticks. Processing venison? See hunter casings.

Casing for Salami

Fibrous casings are the most common salami casing. We also offer large caliber collagen casings, natural beef casings, Hukki shirred casings, and spice coated casings for salami.

Casing for Bologna

Fibrous casings and plastic casings are the standard choices for bologna, and natural beef casings are used for traditional large diameter bologna.

Casing for Hot Dogs

Cellulose casings are the industry standard for skinless hot dogs and frankfurters. Collagen casings are used when the casing stays on the finished product, and natural sheep casings are the traditional choice for a classic snap.

Casing for Ground Beef and Ground Pork Chubs

Chub casing film is built for ground beef chubs and ground pork chubs. Use our Chub Casing Calculator to find the right diameter.

Casing for Frozen Ground Beef and Frozen Pork

Our multilayer chub casing film holds its shape in the freezer, so it works for frozen ground beef, frozen pork, and other frozen chubs.

Casing for Summer Sausage

Fibrous casings are the most common choice for summer sausage, in a range of sizes and colors, and they can be custom printed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of sausage casings does Globe Casings sell?

We stock fibrous, collagen, cellulose, and plastic casings, along with natural hog, sheep, and beef casings, Hukki casings, ground beef and pork chub casing film, pet food and dog food casings, and spice coated casings. We also carry vacuum pouches, shrink bags, doypack pouches, rollstock films, aluminum clips, and meat netting.

What is the best natural casing for sausage?

It depends on the sausage. Natural hog casings suit bratwurst, Italian sausage, kielbasa, and smoked or dry sausage. Natural sheep casings are the thinnest and most tender, and they are the premium choice for breakfast links and cocktail sausages. Natural beef casings are used for large, traditional sausages such as bologna, ring bologna, and salami. See our hog casings, sheep casings, and beef casings pages.

What is the best casing for summer sausage or salami?

Fibrous casings are the most common choice for summer sausage and salami, offering strong, dimensionally consistent results on both manual and automated lines. Natural hog casings and collagen casings are also used depending on the product style. See our casing comparison guide to help decide which is right for your product.

What casing is used for hot dogs and frankfurters?

Cellulose casings are the industry standard for high volume skinless hot dog and frankfurter production, peeling away cleanly after cooking for a smooth, uniform product. Edible collagen casings are another popular choice, offering that same consistent, uniform size in a casing that stays on the finished product. For an old fashioned frank with a traditional natural bite and snap, many processors turn to natural sheep casings.

Is there a minimum order?

No, we do not require a minimum order on our standard casing products. Custom printed casings do have minimum quantities that vary by number of colors, see our printing page for details.
