How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 24420, Class 100 on the BOL and choose packaging by size: sturdy boxes for small framed boards, wood crates for oversized lobby directories.
  2. Protect frames with corner guards, foam wrap, and rigid edge protectors; palletize, keep vertical orientation, and mark Do Not Stack and This Side Up.
  3. If glass or acrylic glazing is installed, float-pack inside a crate using shock-absorbing spacers and avoid banding across the display face.
  4. For jobsite or property management deliveries, schedule appointments and request liftgate or inside delivery as needed; bag mounting hardware separately and label clearly.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 eliminates density disputes, streamlining quotes and reducing the risk of reclassification fees.
  • Clear boxing or crating guidance minimizes transit damage to frames and glazing, lowering OS&D claims and replacement costs.
  • Predictable class enables accurate budgeting for signage rollouts across offices, campuses, and healthcare facilities.
  • Non-hazardous status keeps carrier options broad and transit times competitive, improving project timelines.
