NMFC 129937 - Pencil Sharpeners in Boxes | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote LTL using Class 77.5 for pencil sharpening machines; no density calculation is required for this boxed machinery listing.
2. Box each unit securely with blade guards or foam around cutter heads, fill voids, and seal seams; use a master carton for multi-packs.
3. Palletize cartons within the pallet footprint, add corner boards, top cap, and stretch wrap; label cartons as “Pencil Sharpeners – Boxed.”
4. For electric models, tie off cords and lock shavings trays; for manual crank units, immobilize handles to prevent movement during cross-dock handling.

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

• Fixed Class 77.5 delivers predictable rating and helps avoid costly reweigh or reclass fees common with density-based freight.
• Box-only packaging aligns with the NMFC description, reducing claim risk and speeding carrier handling at terminals.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier selection and can reduce accessorials tied to special handling or documentation.
• Consistent classification streamlines pricing for school, office, and facilities supply programs, improving landed cost accuracy on bulk shipments.
