encapsulated

A method of packaging that consists of a plastic sheet that completely encloses the sides and top of a pallet load that contains a combustible commodity or a combustible package or a group of combustible commodities or combustible packages; combustible commodities that are individually wrapped in plastic sheeting and stored exposed in a pallet load. Totally noncombustible commodities on wood pallets that are enclosed only by a plastic sheet as described are not covered under this definition. Banding (i.e., stretch-wrapping around only the sides of a pallet load) is not considered to be encapsulation. Where there are holes or voids in the plastic or waterproof cover on the top of the carton that exceed more than half the area of the cover, the term encapsulated shall not apply. The term encapsulated does not apply to plastic-enclosed products or packages inside a large, nonplastic, enclosed container.
