Reverse-Side Printed Cartons
Share
Reverse-side printing, also known as inside or internal carton printing, adds print to the inside of your carton as well as the outside, giving you a second surface for branding, messages or product information.
At Carton Apeel, the inside and outside of your cartons are printed in the same single pass. With no second print run, projects move more directly from approved artwork to finished pack, helping shorten lead times.

When is reverse-side printing worth considering?
It is especially effective for cartons opened in store, delivered directly to customers or used for gifts and premium ranges, where the moment the pack is opened is part of the experience. The internal design can be full colour, a single colour or a few selected branded details, and because the carton structure stays the same, you can add more to the pack without changing its format.
What can you print inside a carton?
- Brand messages, storytelling or a thank-you note
- Patterns and decorative artwork that continue the outside design
- Product information and usage instructions
- Campaign messaging or a limited-edition reveal
- A QR code linking to recipes, videos or more product information
Why work with Carton Apeel?
At Carton Apeel, the inside and outside of your cartons are printed as part of one integrated production process. By bringing both sides together in a single pass, we reduce handling between stages and keep projects moving efficiently from artwork to finished cartons.
Because both sides are printed in the same pass, we can keep your inside and outside artwork accurately aligned with the panel layout, fold lines and glue areas, so every message appears where customers will see it once the pack is open.
