Strange Label on package.

[irs]

Hey,
I work as a receiver and a package we received today had a marking i had never seen before.

can someone identify this?, sorry i do not know where to post this... no where seems appropriate.

When this box's rockin' don't come a knockin' ?

That is a subtle anti-"america's foreign policy" symbol. That shape within the circle with the slash is a pentagon(five sides). Not a regular pentagon(where all five sides are equal in length) like the one in washington because then that would be too obvious and the protestors would be up in arms against the Canadian company that shipped that box.

Come on people, it's right in front of your noses. You just have to look.

taken from wikmacapedia:

In geometry, a pentagon From the Greek number 5 (pente) is any five-sided polygon. A pentagon may be simple or self-intersecting. The internal angles in a simple pentagon total 540°. A pentagram is an example of a self-intersecting pentagon.

Do Not lay on it's side as illustrated !

Did it happen to be a live animalk?

Did it happen to be a live animalk?

What would that prove ? Do NOT (driver) release ?

One just has to look not read, or think.
It is a universal symbol for FRAGILE.
Non-language based communication.
At a basic level, the graphic means not to drop this box on it's edge.

Looks like you aren't supposed to load that pkg in an LD3 container. LD3's are like the luggage cans you see at the airport. They flie under the cabin in the belly. What was in it?

Don't cut corners?

I disagree on that one.
Just google fragile under images, you won't find that "international label" there.
more fragile labels are here : http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=fragile+label&qpvt=fragile+label&FORM=Z7FD

The international and typical one is the red broken glass label, there is even 1 there with chinese writing.

You'll find this one though (I like).

You're all wrong: it means don't send this one through the crusher.

 

[tracker2762]

my guess- Don't Drop or Don't Crush

 

[over9five]

Label can't do much good if no-one knows what it means!

 

[klein]

Maybe an Alien dropped it off ? Who was the sender , and from where ?

Yes that looks like a LD3 to me!!!

 

[drewed]

GMy thinking if it was if it was a live animal.... cargo holds on pax aircraft generally aren't heated/ heated to an extent to sustain life

 

[mpeedy]

It means, make sure it doesn't show up intact like this.

 

[BrownTie]

Do not make the box look like this one.

Thanks guys,
it was on a pallet of Cpap machines.
defiantly not something i had ever seen before
it came from Youngwood PA, USA to B.C. Canada. we have been finding it on a few different shipments, and no one seems to know what it means!


i like your responses - keep them coming. LD3 was our first guess, (no one knew it was called LD3 tho)
