NMFC Description Class
124275.00 Folders, in boxes or crates 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. Immobilize moving parts—lock clamping bars, secure folding beams, and remove loose tooling. Protect controls with foam and add moisture barrier if shipping overseas.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
