Can you print on the inside of the box as well?
Yes, MAZUS offers the option to print on the inside of the box. However, there may be some design/layout limitations. Let’s go over the available printing options for inner surfaces.
- If you need a small quantity of packaging, the printing will be done using digital or screen printing. In this case, we cannot cover the entire inner surface with a solid background color. We can print text or design elements in CMYK as well as white, silver, or gold inks.
- The same applies when printing on colored boards. Small quantities (e.g., 10–50 units) can be digitally printed using UV flatbed printers with CMYK + white ink. Medium quantities (e.g., 100–300 units) can be produced using screen printing. In this case, the design must be in one or two solid colors.
- For larger runs (e.g., from 300 units), full background printing on the inside becomes possible using offset printing. This enables all printing options – full-color CMYK and metallic inks like silver and gold.
- For very large quantities (e.g., 2000–3000 units), we can print the inside using flexographic printing. This allows 1 or 2 colors and full-surface printing, but if the area is large, the background might not appear perfectly even due to the nature of flexographic printing.
Inner-side printing is often chosen for brand experience, usage instructions, or to create a surprising unboxing effect that enhances the product's presentation.
If you’re choosing to print on both the outside and inside of the box, note that this will increase the cost of production. For price-sensitive packaging, we recommend printing only on one side — either the outside or the inside, depending on your brand priorities.
