NMFC 76670 - Wood Sign Frames, KD Boxed | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Mark the BOL: “KD wooden sign frames in boxes — NMFC 76670, Class 85.” This signals a fixed class and avoids density re-weighs.
2. Pack for edge safety: use double‑wall cartons for frames with steel rods, bag and tape rods to the inner panel, and add corner protectors plus foam or corrugated pads.
3. Palletize flat: keep cartons within a 48x40 footprint with no overhang, strap and stretch‑wrap with a top cap; e.g., stack 8–12 flat boxes for a retail signage rollout.
4. Include hardware inventory: weigh each carton with hardware, photograph contents before sealing, and apply “Do Not Crush/Flat Load Only” labels to cut claim risk.

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

• Predictable pricing with Class 85: fixed NMFC class streamlines rating, reduces exceptions, and speeds up instant quotes across LTL carriers.
• KD in boxes lowers cube versus assembled frames, allowing more units per pallet and improving cost per delivered frame on franchise or multi‑site installs.
• Non‑hazardous commodity broadens carrier options and simplifies paperwork, shortening tender‑to-pickup time for time‑sensitive campaigns.
• Standardized box packaging reduces handling damage, minimizing claims, reshipments, and downstream project delays for signage deployments.
