NMFC 76640 – Screen Printing Frames | Class 100–200

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the correct subclass under NMFC 76640 and list it on the BOL; this item doesn’t use density breaks, so follow the NMFC notes for class selection.
2. Pack frames in snug cartons with corner protectors and cardboard dividers so mesh and frame edges don’t rub; example: nest 6 aluminum frames with corrugated pads between each.
3. For multiple cartons, stand them upright on a pallet, use straps and stretch wrap, and add a top cap to prevent bowing or edge crush during LTL handling.
4. Label cartons “Fragile Edges” and “Do Not Crush,” and avoid stacking heavy inks or tools on top during pickup and cross-dock consolidation.

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

• Predictable class range (100–200) streamlines quoting and reduces reclass fees for print shops and equipment distributors.
• Proper packaging sharply lowers mesh damage and claim costs, cutting rework and replacement delays on press setups.
• Clear NMFC identification accelerates carrier tendering and minimizes exceptions, improving on-time performance.
• Non-hazardous freight broadens carrier options and helps maintain competitive LTL rates without hazmat surcharges.
