Abstract
A shirred casing article is composed of a cut length of fibrous casing and must be soaked prior to stuffing. A loop is attached at one end of the cut length for hanging the casing after stuffing. However prior to stuffing, the loop is extended longitudinally about the shirred casing article to maintain the integrity of the shirred casing during soaking. Thus the loop which functions as a means to suspend the casing after stuffing, functions before stuffing as a means to restrain longitudinal expansion of the shirred article.
