NMFC 4745 - Ad-Printed Cloth Aprons & Bags | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use corrugated boxes only; line with polybags to prevent ink rub-off and moisture wicking. Avoid mailers or totes since this item class specifies boxed packaging.
2. Pack by item type: fold aprons and bags; pair gloves; keep visors and mats flat with chipboard pads to prevent creases. Example: 200–300 small items per 24x16x12 box, as weight allows.
3. On the BOL, describe clearly: “Cloth items printed with advertising, prepaid – NMFC 4745, Class 100.” This helps avoid reclass and speeds dock checks.
4. Palletize with tight stretch wrap and corner boards. Place heavier cloth mats low and lighter bags/aprons on top to prevent compression and carton bulge.

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

• Fixed Class 100 rating removes density math, enabling faster quotes and fewer rating disputes.
• Boxed-only packaging aligns with tariff language, reducing reclass fees and claims linked to inadequate packing.
• Clear NMFC 4745 identification streamlines carrier handling within the Advertising Group, improving tender-to-pickup reliability.
• Predictable costs for promo drops and campaign kits across lanes, simplifying budgeting and PO approvals.
