How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm your product fits as steel foil, tin-coated or uncoated, and reference NMFC 105290 when creating the BOL; this item ships at a fixed Class 60 (no density needed).
- For rolls/coils: mount on sturdy cores, use edge protectors, and band to a 40x48 pallet with at least four straps; add moisture barrier wrap or VCI film to limit corrosion.
- For cut sheets: stack flush on skids with slip-sheets, corner protection, and steel or heavy poly banding; avoid pallet overhang to protect edges from denting.
- Mark each handling unit with piece count and gross weight, note Non-Hazmat, and request no-top-stack labels if surface finish is critical for stamping or laminating.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 60 simplifies rating and reduces reclass disputes, keeping LTL quotes predictable for both sheeted and rolled foil.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps secure faster transit in mixed-metal lanes.
- Proper coil/sheet packaging cuts edge damage, corrosion, and claim costs—preserving surface quality essential for coating, laminating, or can-making operations.
- Clear NMFC 105290 identification streamlines audits and accelerates billing, shortening the quote-to-cash cycle and improving margin accuracy.
