fragile sticker

Handle with care

A fragile sticker is a label affixed to packages indicating the contents are breakable and require careful handling.

The red-and-white stickers appear on shipping boxes, often alongside arrows pointing up or "handle with care" warnings.

Whether handlers actually treat fragile-stickered packages more gently is a matter of debate: I slapped a fragile sticker on it and prayed.
