How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Book as NMFC 57260, Class 110, and describe on the BOL: “Disposable diapers, incontinence briefs/liners, bedding pads.” Keep the wording consistent to avoid reclass.
  2. Pack per NMFC Package 2278: use sturdy corrugated boxes or secure packages, seal seams, and keep contents dry. Add inner poly bags to protect absorbent materials from moisture.
  3. Palletize for cube control: brick‑stack cartons on 48×40 pallets, avoid overhang, use corner boards and top sheets, then stretch‑wrap tightly to prevent crushing of soft packs.
  4. Quoting tip: class is fixed (no density needed), but include overall dimensions and pallet count for accurate LTL rates and to prevent inspection delays.

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

Business Value

  • Standard carton/package handling reduces damage claims and supports retail/hospital receiving requirements.
  • Clean NMFC 57260 labeling streamlines TMS automation and helps avoid costly reclass or inspection fees.
