Three possibilities here:
The simple to implement printed message on the inside of the packet. Once torn, the packet has to be fully squeezed out and then fully "opened" to see the message.
The more complex mechanism would rely on a chemical reaction of some sort that would be triggered when
the packet is opened and would display the message on the outside of the packet.
And, the 3rd way as suggested by st3f's anno

Third possibility: Print the message on the inside of the sachet with a clear window facing it. Only works if the contents are opaque. |

thanks, st3f, jutta -- great suggestion |

Reminds me of prize messages printed on the interiors of soda cans. |

Look around for "Duck Sauce" packages (single serving size) in Chinese restaurants. I once saw a brand where the sauce was in clear plastic foil package with a printed logo on each side. The logo showed a smiling lady. When the package was empty you could see through so both were logos overlaid. When you rubbed the empty package just right, so the two walls moved against each other the figures would do XXX rated things with each other (took some imagination, but kids have a lot of that). |

I didn't know we had that technology. Plastic foil? |
|

Not a bad suggestion, but there would be a lot of frustrated and lazy people that wouldn't bother with all the mechanics necessary just to read something irrelevant and not in any way accurate. |

Thanks, that's a great line for my next VC pitch |

Ha, clear plastic foil, that's an idea. |

"A transparency, also known in industrial settings as a "viewfoil" or "foil", is a thin sheet of transparent flexible material, typically cellulose acetate"... (link). |

Why not carefully pack the contents using pigmented
condiments that spell out the message as applied? That
would be an attractive novelty and would encourage use of
more product, as the full contents of the packet must be
squeezed out to reveal the entire message. The R&D would
quickly pay for itself if only there were a single-serving
condiment packaging firm with the cojones to pursue this
technology. |
