NMFC Description Class
99720.00 Holders or Cutters, roll paper, in boxes or crates 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Shield blades and cutting bars with guards or heavy tape, and immobilize sliding arms using zip ties or factory lock-outs; label cartons “Sharp Components Inside.”
  2. Match packaging to the unit: bench-top dispensers ride in double-wall boxes with foam blocking, while floor stands or multi-roll cutters should be crated and bolted to a skid.
  3. Mark upright arrows and center of gravity for tall stands to prevent tip-overs; add banding and corner protectors to survive LTL cross-dock handling.
  4. Print NMFC 99720 and Class 100 on the BOL; rating is not density-based, but still include weight and dimensions for capacity planning and smooth carrier acceptance.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable Class 100 pricing trims reclass risk and unexpected fees, stabilizing budgets for print shops, fulfillment centers, and packaging suppliers.
  • Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and extra paperwork, accelerating tenders and cutting dwell time at the dock.
  • Clear packaging choices (boxes or crates) reduce damage claims on blade-equipped equipment, improving service reliability and customer satisfaction.
  • Accurate NMFC 99720 labeling improves inspection outcomes and on-time performance, especially during peak LTL volumes and multi-stop routes.
