The optionally shirred tubular casing for foodstuffs, in particular sausage casing, which is made from fiber-reinforced regenerated cellulose, contains a fiber hose (8) made of a sheet or web-shaped fibrous material (1) bent into a hose, the longitudinally axially extending edge regions in the overlap seam (6) with one another are connected. The fiber tube (8) has an uninterrupted layer (2) based on thermoplastic material, in particular made of a hot-melt adhesive or heat-sealable material, with a basis weight of less than 50 g / m 2 on its entire inward-facing surface, which optionally have an adhesive Layer on the fibers of the fiber reinforcement is anchored. The fiber tube (8) shows on its outer surface a layer of regenerated cellulose made of viscose. The overlapping edge regions of the originally sheet or web-shaped fiber reinforcement bent into a fiber tube (8) are connected to one another by the layer (2) based on thermoplastic material. |
