During inspection of main deck cargo I noticed a box on a pallet stack with arrows pointing down instead of up. Upon closer inspection the box was labeled 'flammable liquid' and 'Cargo aircraft only'. I brought it to the attention of the PIC. We then notified the Load Master. He removed the net and restacked the box with the correct orientation. We noted no leakage or deformation of the box.The Hazmat we carry needs to be packed correctly. This is not a small issue or isolated. Train the people loading our airplanes how to do their job.
First Officer reported discovering a box with arrows pointing down when they should have been up. The box was labeled 'FLAMMABLE LIQUID' and 'CARGO AIRCRAFT ONLY.'
