NMFC 128720 - Hardened Fiberboard Printing Core | Class 125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 128720 and Class 125 on the BOL, and use the exact description: chemically hardened fiberboard core with fiberglass cloth and sponge rubber, in boxes.
2. Cushion the core to prevent crush and flat-spotting: add foam end caps, edge protection, and a snug inner wrap so the sponge rubber surface doesn’t deform in transit.
3. Palletize multiple boxes flat on a sturdy skid with no overhang; use corner boards and light tension strapping or stretch wrap to secure without compressing the contents.
4. Keep cartons away from heat and solvents; maintain moderate temperatures and label Do Not Crush/This Side Up to protect the rubber-covered assembly.

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

• Fixed Class 125 removes density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing reclass disputes for pressroom supply shipments.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat fees, keeping LTL costs predictable.
• Boxed packaging aligns with standard cross-dock handling, lowering damage risk and claim exposure on delicate rubber-covered parts.
• Clear, NMFC-backed labeling improves rate negotiations and streamlines multi-location shipping standards for printers and maintenance teams.
