NMFC 39150 - Button or Buckle Blanks | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack blanks in inner poly bags and place inside sturdy corrugated boxes; use tight-lid drums for heavy metal blanks. Mark: NMFC 39150, Class 77.5.
2. Keep pieces clean and dry. Add dividers or liners to stop scuffing and fine debris that can leak from bags during handling.
3. Palletize uniformly: strap, corner-board, and shrink-wrap boxes; secure drum lids and band to pallets. Avoid shipping loose bags.
4. On the BOL, write “button or buckle blanks, NOI.” Show piece count or net weight; density entry is not required for this fixed class.

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

• Predictable costs: fixed Class 77.5 minimizes reclass risk and surprise rate adjustments.
• Flexible packaging (bags in boxes or drums) helps match carrier handling rules and reduce accessorial fees.
• Clear NOI designation streamlines quoting for apparel hardware supply chains, speeding dock turns and billing.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and supports easy LTL consolidation across vendors.
