NMFC 56155 – Cake Ornaments in Boxes | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print NMFC 56155 and “Ornaments, cake, NOI, in boxes” on the BOL, and match it on packing slips to prevent reclass or billing disputes.
2. Individually wrap each ornament with foam or tissue, add cell dividers for sets, and use double‑wall cartons (44 ECT or 275# burst) with tight void fill.
3. Palletize master cartons on a 40×48 pallet with no overhang; add corner boards, a top cap, and stretch wrap. Use ‘Do Not Stack’ cones if cartons are crush‑prone.
4. Keep away from liquids and heavy hardware in mixed LTL. Place heavier cartons low, mark Fragile and This Side Up, and photograph packaging before tendering.

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

• Predictable billing: fixed Class 150 simplifies rating and reduces reclass risk for bakery, party supply, and e‑commerce shipments.
• Lower damage costs: proper boxing and dividers minimize chips and breakage, cutting claims and reship expenses.
• Better unit economics: consolidating small toppers into master cartons on LTL pallets beats parcel for bulk orders and seasonal surges.
• No hazmat fees: non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and speeds tendering without extra paperwork.
