How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. On the BOL, write: “Laminates, sheets in rolls, boxed — NMFC 156905, Class 125,” plus piece count and weight; no density needed.
  2. Package each roll in a rigid box with core plugs, edge guards, and a moisture barrier to prevent telescoping, kinks, or scuffing.
  3. Palletize boxed rolls without overhang; use corner boards, two straps minimum, and stretch wrap; mark arrows for roll orientation.
  4. If construction is atypical (e.g., multi-material laminates or extra brittle films), confirm it fits the laminate note (item 156902) before tendering.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 125 simplifies rating and quoting, reducing reclass fees and post-audit surprises.
  • Boxed-roll packaging lowers damage risk, keeping claim ratios down for print, flooring, and surfacing suppliers.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and shortens transit in standard LTL networks.
  • Clear BOL language speeds dock handling and helps you hit target freight budgets on recurring shipments.
