Nalo Cellulose Casings

Nalo Cellulose Casings have been produced without almost any modifications since 1929 and are the foundation for our “Nalo Casings” tradition. The cellophane, originally produced as a film, was “converted” into a seamless casing using ring-shaped nozzles. Developed as a real innovation and alternative to the natural gut, Nalo Casings were used for just about every type of processed meat product.

Nowadays, pure cellulose casings, due to their excellent transparency and permeability to smoke, are very popular amongst manufacturers of traditional processed meat products – either in ring, bladder or cylindrical shape. A particular speciality are mid to large size diameters.
