Eye-catching: knitted casings that capture attention

Kalle rounded off its portfolio of casing options with the acquisition of US company Jif-Pak and its extensive range of net casings. These products give a distinctive and natural look to cooked or smoked meat and poultry products.

A side of ham in a service counter is more attractive if it also has a rustic appearance, such as a barbecue grill pattern or roughened surface. CasingNet and UltraKote casings combine appetising looks with the convenience and benefits of industrial production. Kalle offers these closely-knit polyester nets in a range of elasticities and patterns. This enables customers to create a signature look for their products. The nettings range also includes casings with specific characteristics, such as easy peelability.

In addition, Kalle nettings are available with value-adding transfer capabilities. These allow customers to apply a surface structure, smoke colour and/or seasoning in a single operation.

More efficiency and precision

Compared with conventional collagen films, CasingNet and UltraKote casings offer greater efficiency and product safety during the stuffing process. Fillings are added directly into the seamless casing, thereby preventing voids, surface blisters and deformations. As a further bonus, these nettings offer increased productivity.
