So why not put the letters in the flat piece? That way you can print them either way up.

Good thinking!

In fact, that’s what I did first: the markings were on the lids rather than on the shells.

The problem is, because the lids are dovetailed, they’re narrower than the shells they dovetail into, so the width for the markings is reduced. meaning the letters need to be smaller, meaning they look even worse on the lids.
