N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 1, § 185.8 – Packing requirements.

(a) Apples tray packed or cell packed in cartons shall be arranged according to approved and recognized methods. Packs shall be at least fairly tight¹ or fairly well filled².
(b) Closed cartons containing apples not tray or cell packed shall be fairly well filled² or the pack shall be sufficiently tight to prevent any appreciable movement of the apples.
(c) Packs in wooden boxes or baskets shall be sufficiently tight to prevent any appreciable movement of apples within containers when the packages are closed. Each wrapped apple shall be completely enclosed by its individual wrapper.
(d) Apples on the shown face of any container shall be reasonably representative in size, color and quality of the contents.
(e) Tolerances.
In order to allow for variations incident to proper packing, not more than 10 per cent of the containers in any lot may fail to meet these requirements.
