Abstract: A tubular encasing netting for sausage and similar articles. The encasing netting contains a longitudinally running tear-open thread, the length of which is greater than that of the encasing netting in the state of use of the latter. This results in loops of the tear-open thread which are accessible from outside and which can be grasped for tearing open. The encasing netting is expediently a double-rib or warp-knit fabric. The tear-open thread is received in stitches of this fabric. The invention relates, furthermore, to a method for producing such an encasing netting, to a sausage casing connected to the encasing netting and to an article encased by this encasing netting.
