How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. When quoting LTL, select NMFC 157560 at Class 50—no density or dimensional entry required for this commodity.
  2. Pack plugs in cartons or nested layers on a pallet; add corner boards and top caps to prevent compression. Keep away from excess heat or moisture to protect the resin bond.
  3. For paper mills and converters, co-load plugs with paper rolls on the same pallet and note “Paper Roll Plugs—Molded” on the BOL for clear identification.
  4. If shipping loose bulk, use lined gaylords to contain fines and small parts, then stretch-wrap thoroughly so individual plugs don’t escape during transit.

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

Business Value

  • Low Class 50 rating helps secure competitive LTL rates and predictable quotes across carriers.
  • Single, simple classification minimizes reclass risks, inspection delays, and surprise fees.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier availability and avoids hazmat surcharges and paperwork.
  • Nested, space-efficient packing increases units per pallet, lowering shipping cost per plug.
