Collagen Casings for Fresh, Smoked & Snack Sausages

Make uniform, great-looking sausages with our collagen casings, made from refined beef protein for reliable strength and smooth stuffing. Available in edible and non-edible types, these casings are ideal for fresh links, smoked sausages, and snack sticks.

Fresh collagen casings are thinner and more translucent, offering a delicate bite and cooked appearance. Smoked varieties are slightly thicker for added durability, making them better suited for hanging in smokers. All varieties are dye-free, with color variations resulting from the natural raw materials and processing.

Is Collagen Casing Edible?

Most are. Fresh and smoked collagen casings in the small diameters — 19mm through 32mm — are edible and need no peeling. Larger non-edible collagen casings are peeled away before eating, like fibrous. Check the product page for the specific size you're buying.

Collagen needs no soaking and no flushing. Load the tube and stuff. That consistency in diameter is why processors use it for snack sticks and brats where every link should look the same.

Easy to use, consistent, and made for the perfect snap — only from The Sausage Maker.

Solid casings

Solid casings. Stuffed well with only blowouts ( those were my fault).

Great seasoning for more than just sausage.

Great taste but I don't make sausage with it, I make canadian bacon by dry curing pork loins using the same weight ratios and cure #1. Then cold smoke, hot smoke and wait a few days to serve. It is well liked and not hot at all.

Great!

I barely did any prep on these casings. I just soaked them over night in clean water and a little baking soda. I was too lazy to even rinse out the insides. They loaded smoothly on the stuffing tube, no blowouts. Very good stuffing experience.

Built Tough

First time using this stuffer to make 16mm snack sticks slide over a stainless steel horn without unfurling them. Only a 10% water addition to a 50/50 blend of pork and beef. Not a single blowout and stuffed to perfection. Followed that up with a batch of 52mm sow casings for a Spicy Salami. I love every product ever purchased from TSM.
