How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Secure moving parts before packing: lock numbering wheels, zip-tie carriages, remove ink pads or cartridges, and bag brackets or small hardware.
- 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.
- For crates, bolt the machine base to the skid and block with 2x4s; use shock and tilt indicators for delicate print heads or counters.
- 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.
