NMFC 124300 – Marking Machines Boxed/Crated | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package the unit in a rigid box or wood crate; block and brace gantries, printheads, or laser assemblies, and use foam-in-place for control cabinets.
2. Purge and cap ink lines, remove cartridges, and fit dust covers on optics; ship consumables separately if needed to avoid leaks or hazmat issues.
3. Mark the BOL with “NMFC 124300, Class 100” and select the correct packaging type (box or crate) to match how the machine is protected.
4. Keep orientation arrows, tilt/shock indicators, and keep‑dry labels visible; place crates on a 4‑way pallet base for safe forklift handling without overhang.

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

• Fixed Class 100 rating eliminates density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing reclass disputes.
• Crated or boxed packaging lowers in‑transit damage risk, protecting calibration and minimizing costly downtime.
• Predictable classification improves rate benchmarking and budget planning across LTL carriers and lanes.
• Non‑hazardous equipment status broadens carrier options and simplifies compliance, accelerating pickup and transit.
