What does the upside down umbrella mean on boxes?


When you get a shipment/order, and you get a big box, there are some symbols on the boxes and one of them is an upside down umbrella. whats that?

The umbrella means protect from moisture. There is an ARROW that points up. There is also a number that indicates the maximum number of pieces that can be stacked on top of each other, and a glass with a crack indicates that the contents are fragile. Hope this helps.

I always took it as
"store and hold it up like an umbrella.
Do not store it upside down"

If the umbrella is upside down then so is the box.

its a guide for them to know that the box should bot be wet
or put out on rain when delivering

keep it the right way up

It probably means something got broke! You ARE kidding right?
