A stockinette carcass bag is a seamless tube of knitted cotton, closed at one end, that fits over a carcass or side of meat. It keeps the meat clean, lets it breathe while it chills, and carries your brand and regulatory marks to the buyer.

Light weight (150–300 g/m²) is suitable for poultry, small game and light wrapping. Medium weight (300–550 g/m²) is the standard for lamb, goat and mutton sides. Heavy weight (550–900 g/m²) is designed for beef sides, quarters and large carcasses. We can manufacture to any exact weight.

Yes. We print your logo, trademark, species mark, establishment number and regulatory text in up to four colours, in any language, using permanent ink that does not transfer to the meat. We prepare a print proof for your approval before production.

Mutton cloth is a cotton stockinette used to wrap and wipe meat, and for general food-line hygiene. Abattoirs, boning rooms, butcher shops and commercial kitchens use it because it is absorbent, strong and lint-resistant.

Both are tubular cotton knit on a roll. Mutton cloth is the absorbent grade used for meat wrapping and wiping, while a stockinette roll is the general-purpose raw stock used for wrapping, polishing and industrial use. We make both to any width, length and weight.

Cheese cloth is used to strain, press and wrap food. Dairies and home cheese makers use it for curds and whey, cooks use it for straining stocks and sauces, and it is also used as butter muslin, for pressing tofu and for herbal infusions.

Fine weave has a tight thread count and filters small particles, so it suits delicate straining. Open weave drains faster and suits pressing cheese and bulk straining. We supply both and everything in between.
