Plastic Casings
Polyamide and PVDC casings for cooked, formed and sliced products — filled and clipped on standard equipment, then peeled before retail display.
Three complementary ranges for producers who need barrier protection, consistent presentation and a reliable seal: plastic casings in polyamide and PVDC, shrink bags and films, and vacuum bags. Specify the format, the structure and the print, and our team will match it to your line.
Polyamide and PVDC casings for cooked, formed and sliced products — filled and clipped on standard equipment, then peeled before retail display.
Multi-layer barrier bags and films that tighten around the product after vacuum sealing and heat shrinking — a close, glossy fit with fewer wrinkles.
Heat-sealable pouches for chamber vacuum machines and roll stock — protecting colour, weight and shelf life through storage, transport and display.
Plastic casings are supplied as shirred sticks, reels or cut lengths and are filled on automatic fillers and clippers. Polyamide (PA / nylon) structures give toughness and consistent diameter, while PVDC co-extrusions add a high oxygen and moisture barrier for longer shelf life. The casing holds the product through cooking and chilling and is peeled before slicing or display — it is not intended to be eaten.
| Structures | Mono-layer polyamide; multi-layer PA/PE co-extrusion; PVDC high-barrier co-extrusion |
|---|---|
| Formats | Shirred sticks, reels, cut-to-length tubes; flat width and shirring density set per order |
| Calibre | Specified to match your filler horn, clipper and target finished diameter |
| Barrier | Oxygen, moisture and aroma barrier options for cook-in and chilled distribution |
| Printing | Clear, tinted or multi-colour surface / reverse printing for branding and batch identification |
| Process | Fill → clip → cook or smoke → chill → peel before slicing or retail display |
| Typical products | Cooked ham, luncheon meat, mortadella, bologna, fish sausage, processed cheese sausage |
Flat width, shirring, barrier level and artwork are all order-specific. Send your current casing specification or a sample and we will quote the closest match.
After the product is vacuum sealed, a shrink bag or film is passed through hot water or hot air and contracts around the contour of the contents. The result is a close-fitting pack with minimal wrinkles, reduced purge and a clean surface for labels. Barrier layers slow oxygen ingress and help protect colour and weight during chilled distribution.
| Structures | Multi-layer co-extruded shrink film with oxygen-barrier layer; standard and high-barrier options |
|---|---|
| Formats | Pre-formed shrink bags, side-seal bags, tubing and film on roll for automatic lines |
| Sizes | Bag width, length and film thickness set to your product dimensions and target shrink ratio |
| Shrink method | Hot-water dip or shrink tunnel / hot-air equipment; shrinkage tuned to the product shape |
| Options | Bone-guard patches for bone-in cuts, easy-open features, clear / tinted film, multi-colour print |
| Typical products | Fresh and cooked meat cuts, whole-muscle products, poultry, cheese blocks and wheels |
For bone-in or irregular cuts, ask about bone-guard constructions that reduce puncturing during shrinking and transport.
Vacuum bags are heat-sealable pouches used with chamber vacuum machines, and are also supplied as roll stock for thermoforming lines. Removing air limits oxidation and moisture loss, protects colour and helps keep portion weight stable through cold storage and transport. They are the practical choice where a shrink-tight presentation is not required.
| Structures | PA/PE co-extruded or laminated film; standard and high-barrier versions |
|---|---|
| Formats | Pre-cut pouches, three-side-seal bags, roll stock for chamber and thermoforming equipment |
| Sizes | Pouch width and length, film thickness and seal width set to your portion and cycle time |
| Sealing | Heat-seal compatible with chamber vacuum machines; seal parameters confirmed with samples |
| Options | Clear or printed, bone-guard patches, easy-peel opening, label-friendly surfaces |
| Typical products | Fresh meat, deli products, cheese, frozen portions, marinated and seasoned products |
Tell us the storage temperature, required shelf life and sealing equipment when enquiring — these determine the film structure we recommend.
| Consideration | Plastic casings | Shrink bags / films | Vacuum bags |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage of use | Forms and cooks the product | Final presentation pack | Final protection pack |
| Filled directly | Yes — on a filler / clipper | No — product is packed after production | No — product is packed after production |
| Heat shrink step | Not required | Required (water or air) | Not required |
| Removed before sale | Typically peeled before slicing / display | Stays on the product | Stays on the product |
| Typical equipment | Vacuum filler, clipper, cook / chill line | Vacuum sealer plus shrink tunnel or dip tank | Chamber vacuum sealer or thermoformer |
| Best suited to | Formed cooked sausages and hams | Whole-muscle cuts, cheese, premium retail packs | Portions, deli lines, frozen and marinated goods |
