NMFC 4660 – Prepaid Advertising Matter | Class N/A

Note 4742: NOTE-Order blanks, self-addressed envelopes or mailing cards, not stamped, may be enclosed with articles named.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Bundle catalogs, flyers, or inserts in 20–35 lb units and place in 32–44 ECT cartons; shrink-wrap and use corner boards under straps to protect print edges.
2. Palletize cartons on 48×40 pallets with no overhang, add a top cap, and stretch-wrap to the base; this keeps bundles tight and prevents edge crush during cross-dock moves.
3. Label cartons “Prepaid Advertising Matter” with carton counts and campaign IDs; include a packing list to speed intake at mail houses, agencies, or retail DCs.
4. For quotes, note there is no fixed class under NOI; provide total weight, piece count, and packaging type (packages, palletized), and request dry, moisture-protected handling during wet routes.

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

• Correct NOI naming and packaged presentation reduce reclass disputes and surprise rebills, stabilizing LTL costs for campaign drops.
• Palletized, cartonized promos cut touch points and claim risk, improving delivery integrity for time-sensitive launches and seasonal mailings.
• Non-hazardous paper goods avoid hazmat fees and scheduling limits, shortening dock times and accelerating transit.
• Prepaid handling aligns billing with print vendors and agencies, simplifying AP workflows and shortening close cycles on marketing spend.
