Salami Netting Applications
Our elastic salami netting is engineered specifically for dry-cured and fermented meat products, providing reliable performance throughout extended curing and drying periods. The elastic properties ensure the netting contracts uniformly as the product loses moisture, maintaining consistent cylindrical shape without manual adjustment.
Dry-Cured Salami
Premium elastic netting for traditional Italian salami, Spanish chorizo, and European-style dry-cured products. Available in traditional red color. Sizes 14-20 for products 1.5-4" diameter.
Fermented Sausages
Specialized netting for fermented sausage products including summer sausage, landjaeger, and other cultured meats. Withstands extended fermentation and drying periods of 4-12 weeks.
Specialty Cured Products
Custom netting solutions for artisan salami, wine-infused varieties, and gourmet specialty products. Available in white and red colors to match product aesthetics.
Why Salami Producers Choose Our Elastic Netting
Continuous Shape Retention
Elastic netting contracts progressively as salami loses 30-40% moisture during curing, maintaining consistent cylindrical shape throughout weeks-long drying process.
Traditional Red Appearance
Available in authentic red color that creates the classic salami aesthetic. Color-fast formulation prevents bleeding or fading during extended curing periods.
Mold-Friendly Surface
Mesh pattern allows development of beneficial white mold cultures essential for traditional salami production. Permits air circulation while maintaining shape.
Extended Durability
Engineered for 4-12 week curing periods without degradation. Maintains elasticity and strength throughout extended hanging and drying cycles.

Processing Benefits & Production Efficiency
Progressive Contraction
Netting gradually contracts as salami loses moisture during weeks-long curing, maintaining consistent pressure and cylindrical shape without re-netting or adjustment.
Prevents Deformation
Maintains uniform cylindrical shape during hanging and drying, preventing flat spots or irregular shapes that reduce product value and slicing efficiency.
Controlled Drying Rate
Mesh pattern regulates moisture evaporation rate, preventing case hardening while allowing interior moisture migration. Results in consistent texture throughout product.
Mold Culture Development
Open mesh structure allows beneficial white mold cultures to develop on salami surface, creating authentic traditional appearance and flavor development.
Traditional Aesthetic
Red netting creates the authentic European salami appearance consumers expect. Diamond pattern is recognized symbol of quality artisan salami production.
Labor Efficiency
Quick application reduces labor time by 70% compared to traditional twine binding. No adjustment needed during multi-week curing period.
