| 108610.00 | Labels, NOI, paper and foil combined, cut or not cut, prepaid, in packages | 85 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use the exact BOL wording: “Labels, NOI, paper and foil combined, cut or not cut, prepaid, in packages — NMFC 108610, Class 85.” No density needed.
- Pack sheets or rolls in rigid corrugated cartons with corner/edge protection. Add a moisture barrier (poly bag) to keep foil face stock pristine.
- Bundle small stacks with chipboard and shrink wrap to stop scuffing, then cartonize. For multiple cartons, secure to a pallet for easier LTL handling.
- Mark “Prepaid” on the BOL and ensure the payer is set up. Photograph packaging before tender to avoid damage disputes on reflective foil labels.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 85 simplifies quoting and prevents density reclass fees common with paper goods.
- Prepaid rating streamlines billing, reducing collect disputes and accelerating delivery release.
- Proper packaging for foil-faced labels minimizes crush and abrasion claims, protecting brand-critical print quality.
- Clear item match lowers inspection risk and keeps freight moving without delay-based surcharges.
