resticking Explanation: I can't find *restickage* anywhere on the Web--even using that all embracing search engine, Dogpile! It must be a very local franglais neologism. I'd just go with "resticking," which is the equivalent word structure in English. You might also consider: "retaping," if it looks like that might be *how* they are sticking those packages back together again. |

relabeling Explanation: A pure guess, based on the fact that labels are the adhesive items most widely used in the shipping business, and that sometimes they need to be changed (as in the case of transshipments or the re-routing of parcels). Hope this helps! -- HC |
