NMFC 36150 - Aluminum Wallboard/Plywood Clips | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack clips snugly in inner bags or partitions inside each box to stop aluminum scuffing and rattle during cross-dock handling.
2. Palletize cartons with no overhang; use edge protectors and two straps plus stretch wrap so small boxes don’t shift under heavier hardware.
3. Mark the BOL with “NMFC 36150, Class 85” and list carton count clearly; these items are count-sensitive and often shipped in case quantities.
4. Choose sturdy cartons (200# test or 32 ECT) and keep net weight per box manageable (e.g., under 35 lb) to speed loading and reduce crush risk.

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

• Fixed Class 85 rating removes density calculations, delivering faster quoting and fewer reclass fees on aluminum clip shipments.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and extra paperwork, cutting total landed cost for hardware distributors and drywall suppliers.
• Boxed packaging streamlines handling on LTL networks, lowering claim risk and improving on-time performance for project-driven deliveries.
• Clear, consistent classification supports accurate rate shopping and budgeting for repeat releases to jobsites and retail branches.
