NMFC 115780 - Addressing/Imprinting Machines | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Declare NMFC 115780, Class 100 on the BOL and specify packaging as box or crate; no density entry is required for rating.
2. For tabletop addressers, remove ink tanks, cap printheads, immobilize feeders and trays, and double-box with dense foam blocking to protect rollers and belts.
3. For floor-standing units, bolt the base to a skid or crate, brace the print head assembly, and add tilt/shock indicators for carrier handling visibility.
4. Palletize with no overhang, use corner boards and stretch wrap, and mark as Precision Equipment; use Do Not Stack cones only when necessary to avoid fees.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting across LTL carriers, reducing reclass disputes and unpredictable charges.
• Boxed or crated requirement aligns with carrier handling rules, lowering damage risk for sensitive print heads and feed mechanisms.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges for routine mailroom equipment moves.
• Consistent NMFC use streamlines procurement, returns, and redeployments of mailing equipment between facilities.
