Technology
Due to intensive R&D work, we were able to develop edible films and casings and establish them as commercial products on
the global markets. These products consist of purely plant based ingredients and are biodegradable. This technology enables
production of tailor-made films with different functional properties. Using state of the art printing techniques, our films can be
used to present text, logos and images directly on the surface of finished products.
NUTRAFILM
NUTRAFILM® – products consist of natural Polysaccharides and water. This patented technology offers a GMO-free, Kosher,
Halal and plant based alternative to collagen- and cellulose films. NUTRAFILM® is ideal for use on smoked, roasted and steam
cooked meat products. This film has excellent machinability and helps to improve product cooking yields.
NUTRACASING
NUTRACASING® is a shirred, edible, vegan sausage casing which is excellently suited for production of fresh sausages, as
well as cooked, smoked and cured sausgae products. The casing is available in different diameters from 20mm to 32mm and
has been developed especially for use with automated stuffing machines. Beside the unique bite and texture, NUTRACASING®
also offers the sought-after snap of natural casings. Kosher and Halal certifications top off the characteristics of this unique
sausage casing.

About us
Arc Swiss International AG is part of an international group of companies, which is the worldwide market leader in the area of
edible, water soluble and biodegradable thin films. In this context it has more than 15 years experience in development and
manufacture of innovative film products.
Core products of ARC Swiss International AG are intermediate and finished products that are made from renewable resources.
Characteristics of these products are tailored to the target audience.
The first innovation from our company was NUTRAFILM®; an edible film, which has been developed for the manufacturing of
ham rolls. Commercial success of this thin film was the foundation for an expanded product range. ARC Swiss International AG
develops formulas and recipes for meat, meat replacement and confectionary industry products. Films with different
characteristics for the packaging industry, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications as well as the pet industry are further
possible applications of our technology.
A high quality and product stability are a hallmark of these innovative products. They fulfil the strict FCC (Food Chemical
Codex) regulations and have GRAS status (generally recognised as safe).
Our film products are manufactured using only plant based ingredients and can be certified kosher and halal. Final products are
biodegradable and do not leave any harmful compounds or traces in the environment – this is getting more important especially
in the packaging industry. Since ingredients are composed of renewable raw materials, sustainability and resource conservation
are assured.
ARC Swiss International AG is committed to the interests of our partners and their products. It is possible to protect the
intellectual property of new developments. In this context, the respective formulations or the customer’s own brand name are
treated confidentially.
