Artificial Casings
Cellulose casings are the industry standard casing for hot dogs and frankfurters at high volume. Fully peelable after smoking and cooking, they produce a clean, uniform product ideal for retail and foodservice markets.

Cellulose casings are manufactured from regenerated plant cellulose and are designed to be removed from the product after processing. They are the backbone of high speed frankfurter and hot dog manufacturing, providing excellent dimensional consistency, outstanding smoke and flavor permeability, and full compatibility with automated stuffing and peeling lines.
We offer two categories: Small Caliber Cellulose Casings for skinless frankfurters and similar products, and Large Caliber Cellulose Casings for larger cooked, smoked, or formed products. See full details for each below.
✅ Large inventory in stock. We maintain a large inventory of small caliber skinless cellulose casings for fast shipment on all standard sizes.
Small caliber cellulose casings combine high elasticity with extremely consistent caliber. They are permeable to flavors and colors during the smoking process but impermeable to unwanted aromas. Their excellent peelability ensures trouble free industrial processing on high speed automated peeling equipment.
