NMFC Description Class
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:

  1. 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.
  2. Pack sheets or rolls in rigid corrugated cartons with corner/edge protection. Add a moisture barrier (poly bag) to keep foil face stock pristine.
  3. Bundle small stacks with chipboard and shrink wrap to stop scuffing, then cartonize. For multiple cartons, secure to a pallet for easier LTL handling.
  4. 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.
