NMFC 135120 - Metal Memorial Tablets | Class 85-100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the correct subclass within the 85–100 range by checking NMFC item notes, then list that class on the bill of lading for each boxed shipment.
2. Protect finished surfaces: wrap each tablet in non-abrasive foam or paper, add corner guards, and separate pieces with slip sheets inside a double-wall corrugated box.
3. Isolate mounting hardware in a small interior carton or bag so screws and studs cannot scratch engraved faces during transit.
4. Mark cartons “Fragile – Finished Surface” and “Do Not Stack,” then use tight void fill (PE foam, honeycomb) to prevent plate-to-plate rub and edge damage.

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

• Predictable rating with a fixed class range (85–100) reduces reclass risk and helps lock in accurate LTL quotes.
• Non-hazardous designation shortens booking steps and avoids hazmat surcharges or special paperwork.
• Damage prevention for delicate finishes cuts claim rates, preserves customer satisfaction, and limits replacement costs.
• Box-friendly packaging aligns with standard carrier handling, lowering accessorial exposure and improving on-time performance.
