NMFC Description Class
116060.00 Numbering or Paging Machines, NOI, in boxes or crates 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Secure moving parts before packing: lock numbering wheels, zip-tie carriages, remove ink pads or cartridges, and bag brackets or small hardware.
  2. For boxes, choose double- or triple-wall cartons with 2–3 inches of dense foam around the unit; add corner guards and a snug inner wrap to protect calibration.
  3. For crates, bolt the machine base to the skid and block with 2x4s; use shock and tilt indicators for delicate print heads or counters.
  4. Palletize with no overhang, band and wrap firmly, and mark This Side Up and Precision Equipment. Put NMFC 116060, Class 100, plus serials on the BOL.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 rating removes density disputes, cutting reclass charges and inspection delays.
  • Purposeful boxing or crating slashes damage risks to numbering wheels and alignment, lowering claims and downtime.
  • Clear NMFC coding speeds quotes and TMS setup, improving LTL tendering for print shops and mail houses.
  • Crated exports survive multi-handling better, often reducing total landed cost through fewer reships.
