NMFC 39760 - Motion Picture Screens in Boxes | Class 125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select Class 125 and packaging type “boxes” when quoting; this item is simple-rated and does not use density. Mark it as non-hazardous.
2. Use double‑wall cartons with foam or bubble wrap on the viewing surface; add rigid corner guards for framed screens and coil fabric screens loosely to avoid creases.
3. Label boxes “Fragile,” “Do Not Bend,” and “This Side Up.” Avoid top-stacking; if palletized, center the boxes, add a slip sheet, and strap with edge protectors.
4. Describe contents as “Screens, motion picture, NOI” on the BOL and list each box’s dimensions and weight (e.g., 72 x 10 x 10 in, 55 lb) for accurate carrier planning.

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

• Predictable pricing at Class 125 removes density disputes, reducing reclass fees and accelerating LTL quotes and approvals.
• Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and shortens tender times, improving schedule reliability for shoots and installs.
• Damage prevention via proper boxing and corner protection cuts claim rates on delicate frames and fabric, preserving image quality and timelines.
• Aligned with the Camera Group, screens can ship with other production gear in one LTL move, lowering total freight spend through consolidation.
