NMFC 88120 – Lab Glassware in Boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use molded pulp or foam partitions for beakers and test tubes; sleeve pipettes individually. Cushion distillation bulbs, evaporators, and glass “worms” with custom inserts and separate any stoppers.
2. Pack only in strong corrugated freight boxes—preferably double‑wall. Fill voids firmly, tape seams with filament-reinforced tape, and mark Fragile and This Side Up without relying on labels alone.
3. Unitize for LTL: place inner cartons in a master case or secure on a pallet with corner boards and stretch wrap. Add a rigid top cap or honeycomb sheet to spread stacking pressure and avoid overhang.
4. On the BOL, state “NMFC 88120, Class 100, Lab Glassware in Boxes” and include piece counts. Photograph packed cartons before tender to support any damage claims.

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

• Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 100—no density math and fewer reclass surprises.
• One item number covers beakers, pipettes, test tubes, bulbs, evaporators, and worms in boxes, reducing SKU-by-SKU classification work.
• Packaging aligned to the “in boxes” requirement lowers inspection risk and accessorial fees, improving transit reliability.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, accelerating lab supply deliveries.
