How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Measure each box and calculate PCF density: weight ÷ (L×W×H/1728). Example: a 20×18×40 in torso at 22 lb ≈ 2.6 pcf.
- Disassemble and nest parts to raise density—remove arms and heads, stack wig blocks—then pad fragile features like noses, fingers, and toes.
- Use double‑wall cartons with internal bracing for fiberglass or resin; float pieces with 2–3 inches of foam and eliminate voids to stop shifting.
- Palletize upright with no overhang; mark Do Not Stack if crush risk exists, and label “Display Forms — NMFC 75780” with piece count for inspections.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Density-based rating lets efficient nesting lower class, trimming LTL spend and avoiding oversize charges on tall torsos and lay figures.
- Boxed-only packaging aligns with carrier handling, cutting reweigh/reclass disputes and accelerating clean invoice processing.
- Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier choice and speeds quoting and tendering across regional and national networks.
- Reinforced packing reduces scuffs and breaks on showroom finishes, lowering claim costs and preventing costly retail floor delays.
