Shirring

At Niagara Tying Service, we have the ability to "Shirr" and process fibrous casings as well as plastic casings, converting exactly to the customer's specifications. All finished orders are customized and tested to ensure that the finished goods are of the highest quality.

The range of sizes for Shirred casings vary from 60mm up to, and including 290mm lay flat width. We maximize the amount of feet per finished strand with the capability of shirring 400 feet into 1 strand, contingent on the customer's horn size and finished stick length.

Below is a list of mandrel sizes that we can use to fit your shirring needs:

27/28mm 31/32mm 33/34mm 35/36mm
