What is the meaning of this?
I bought a suitcase from a shop, which had this hang tag saying "un-nest before selling". What does it mean?

It probably means that the cases were delivered "nested", that is with smaller cases put inside bigger ones to save space, but they were not designed to be sold like that.

0We are free to make any word we like using affixes ( as long as it makes sense). Not even the most comprehensive dictionary bothers to list all the possible words in "un-" or "non-". I don't think I'd ever read "un-nest" before, but in the context the meaning was obvious, and that makes it a legitimate word.
