How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the item is a folder machine (sheet‑metal or bindery) and choose packaging: crate for heavier floor units, strong box for compact benchtop models.
- Immobilize moving parts—lock clamping bars, secure folding beams, and remove loose tooling. Protect controls with foam and add moisture barrier if shipping overseas.
- Bolt the base to a skid and block all sides inside the box or crate; band with steel or heavy poly and mark center of gravity and Tip‑N‑Tell indicators.
- List NMFC 124275, Class 100 on the BOL, note non‑hazmat, and arrange the right equipment (forklift, liftgate) based on weight and footprint.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 rating simplifies quoting and avoids density reclass, reducing surprise charges.
- Boxed or crated packaging aligns with carrier expectations, lowering damage risk and claim costs.
- Accurate prep enables LTL instead of dedicated truckload for many units, trimming freight spend.
- Clear NMFC alignment speeds carrier acceptance and supports better machinery-lane rate negotiations.
