NMFC Description Class
5085.00 Sheets, bill poster, prepaid, in packages:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the full NMFC item on the BOL: NMFC 5085 - Sheets, bill poster, prepaid, in packages, to avoid mix-ups with rolled prints or self-adhesive graphics.
  2. Pack flat in rigid cartons with corner and edge protectors; interleave sheets and poly-bag to prevent scuffing and moisture before shrink-wrapping.
  3. Palletize with no overhang, keep stacks low to avoid crush (generally under 48 in), then strap and wrap tightly with a top cap for even pressure.
  4. Because class is not specified, provide accurate piece count, dimensions, and weight; this helps carriers rate correctly and prevents reclass fees.

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

Business Value

  • Clear NMFC identification reduces reclass disputes and unexpected billing on advertising materials.
  • Flat-pack methods cut corner damage and claims, keeping campaign installs and drops on schedule.
  • Non-hazardous paper sheets qualify for broader carrier networks and simpler compliance.
  • Packaged sheets stack efficiently versus tubes, improving cube use and lowering LTL cost per thousand posters.
