Fibrous meat casing

Made from natural and renewable long cellulosic fibers, mainly Abaca, and impregnated with viscose to bond the fibers together, our fibrous casing paper is a plant-based alternative to animal-derived collagen options.

Key Benefits:

• The composition of our fibrous casing paper, made from Abaca, performs for the highest quality applications
• Viscose impregnation is used to bond the fibers together, leading to a unique and outstanding offering on the market place 
• Fibrous casing paper is a sustainable and environmentally friendly product as it uses plant based renewable natural resources, instead of animal-derived collagen or oil-based plastics 
• The product design enables excellent smoke permeability, consistent mechanical strength and tube diameter control for smoked and air-dried meat products.

With decades of experience in the manufacturing of fiber-based materials, Ahlstrom has been innovating continuously to be at the forefront of advanced solutions for meat packaging
