Notes

Note 180019: NOTE-Applies only on interior packing forms designed to support or suspend rolls of plastic film or sheeting within a shipping container.

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. State the full NMFC on the BOL: “Supports, roll, fiberboard or wood particleboard, in packages – NMFC 180018, Class 55,” and indicate “with/without expanded plastic pad and plastic film” as applicable.
  2. Package as tight cartons or strapped bundles; nest pairs to prevent scissoring. If palletizing bundles, band across the width and add a slip sheet to stop abrasion.
  3. Guard against moisture and crushing for non‑corrugated fiberboard: use shrink wrap or a poly liner, edge protectors, and keep units off the floor with skids or dunnage.
  4. Label piece count and orientation (“Do Not Overstack,” “Keep Dry”). Avoid mixing corrugated parts in the same line item to prevent reclassification.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing with fixed Class 55—no density math or reweigh surprises.
  • Single item covers versions with plastic pad and film, reducing NMFC disputes and audit chargebacks.
  • Efficient bundles count as packages, improving cube use and lowering cost per support in LTL.
  • Nonhazardous materials streamline carrier acceptance and cut compliance overhead.
