Chub film is one of the most dependable packaging formats available for raw ground meat. It gives processors a durable barrier that holds up in freezer storage, protects the product from light and outside contamination, and keeps a tight, clean grip on the meat surface throughout distribution.
Our chub casing film is built for raw applications where the casing stays on the product all the way to the point of use. It is not intended to be peeled away early, the film remains in place through fresh sale, frozen storage, and thaw. This makes it a strong fit for ground beef, ground pork, and similar raw and frozen products that need a long, stable shelf presence without losing shape or surface quality.
This casing is built for raw and frozen use. It gives you a durable wrap that holds up well in the freezer, protects the product, and holds its shape from stuffing through frozen storage and final sale.

Soaking is not required for this casing before use, but it is recommended. A short soak can make the film easier to handle and load onto stuffing equipment, particularly for shirred sticks.
