enclosers
Things that contain
Enclosers are people or things that enclose—that surround, contain, or shut in.
The word appears most often in historical contexts referring to landowners who fenced off common lands during the English enclosure movement: The enclosers transformed open fields into private property.
More generally, any container, wrapper, or boundary that surrounds something can be called an encloser.
