Latvian translation:Ar norādīto pusi uz augšu
Explanation:
Īstenībā "ar šo pusi uz augšu" ir labāk, es tikai gribēju dabūt sev papildus vietu, lai atbildētu mjbjosh kungam. Šķīvim atšķirībā no kastes ir tikai divas puses, tā kā nekādas atšķirības starp virzienu un pusi nav. Kastei ir sešas puses, un minētais uzraksts ar bultām visdrīzāk atrodas uz kastes sāna - tad kā var tur rakstīt "augšpuse", ja tas ir sāns? Tā kā es nepiekrītu tam pārāk kodolīgajam variantam, kas bija atbildes titulā, savukārt "ar šo pusi uz augšu" ir viss skaidrs.

augšpuse


Explanation:
I suppose it is the sign on boxes when it matters in which direction the product shold be held, like with fridge. Am I right?
In English "augšpuse" would simply be "upper side". Word for word translation of "this way up" would be "šo pusi uz augšu".
Please, pay attention to use the special Latvian letter "š"

disagree  Janis Auzins: bet tās svītras jau visdrīzāk ir uz sāna nevis uz augšpuses? "šo pusi uz augšu" ir "this side up"; "this way up" burtiski būtu "šādā virzienā uz augšu"

agree  mjbjosh: Piekrītu Kristīnei, nepiekrītu nepiekritējam. Puse šajā gadījumā ir precīzāks vārds. Jāni! Iedomājieties, ka Jūs apgāžat šķīvi. Ar šo pusi uz augušu vai šajā virzienā uz augšu? Patīk, ka Jūs varat atbildēt par tehn. lietām, bet šis izklausās aplami.
