Shirred sausage casing and process for its manufacture

摘要

Disclosed is a shirred sausage casing comprising a tubular casing having an area of increased thickness, e.g., a glued seam, running in the direction of its longitudinal axis. This area of increased thickness is helically arranged and extends transversely to the helical windings of the main-fold constituting the outside of the shirred sausage casing. The area of increased thickness is displaced by its width, between two contiguous windings of the main-fold. Also disclosed is a process for manufacturing a casing of this type.
