What Is a Fax Cover Sheet?

To put it simply, a fax cover sheet is a sheet that is faxed to the recipients that precedes the actual message or document. It includes information such as the name or fax number of the sender, plus an optional note so that the recipient knows what to do with the document. It is especially useful in companies that have one fax machine for all of their employees, or when the recipient is not expecting the fax.

What Does a Fax Cover Sheet Include?

Different fax cover sheets include different information or fields for the sender to fill out. However, generally speaking, you can expect:

• The name and surname of the recipient
• The fax and phone number of the recipient
• The senders name and surname
• The senders fax and/or phone number
• Date and time of fax transition
• Number of pages of the faxed document
• The subject of the fax and a short note or message about its contents

If the document you are faxing contains some sensitive information that shouldn't be disclosed to anyone aside from the recipient, the fax cover sheet is a good place to state that. Some fax cover sheets include a “Confidential” note within the design. A business fax cover sheet will also most likely include the name and the logo of the company.

The final decision about what to include on a fax cover sheet is up to you and your company. There are plenty of free fax cover sheet templates available online in Microsoft Word (such as ours) that can easily be edited to fit your needs.

Should You Use Fax Cover Sheets?

The truth is that, in the end, it all depends on your personal preference - however, many people believe that using fax cover sheets is very useful. Some companies like to use cover sheets because they believe it makes identification a lot easier. Besides, they think that after seeing the recipient's name, other people won't be as likely to read the faxed message.

Although there are some people who believe that fax cover sheets are a waste, that's actually not the case. Fax cover sheets make you appear more professional and make the communication between you and the recipient faster.

Fax cover sheets can be used for different purposes, from protecting the content of the actual fax message to adding more details about the intended recipient.

How To Make A Fax Cover in Apple Pages

According to The Conversation website, "unscientific survey of 1,513 members of an online forum for information technology professionals found that 89 percent of them still sent faxes." So, businesses still send faxes. This sheet comes before the actual fax message to your recipient. This document stands as an identifier of the sender. Sometimes, businesses don't include fax cover sheets; however, it is an essential practice. There is a possibility that other people will handle a fax message, so a fax cover sheet can help with that possibility because there is the name of the sender and the name of the recipient. We have here some steps on how to make a fax cover sheet:

1. Details of the Sender

There should be details about your company as the sender. Firstly, put the name of your company. Putting the company name on the fax cover sheet is important because it will distinguish your fax cover from other fax covers the recipient received. If you are not part of any company, then you should put your full name as the sender. Then put your company's contact details and email address if ever the recipient would want to get in touch with you. Then, include your company's address. These details are important for any reason possible. 

2. Details of the Recipient

You should put the details of the recipient of the fax so that the recipient will receive it correctly. To start, you can set the word in boldface 'To:' easily distinguish the receiver. Put the full name of the individual recipient or the recipient company. After the name section, add the fax number, the phone number of the recipient, and then include the date. This information should be on separate lines.

3. Indicate the Number of Pages

The fax contains several pages, and you should include them too. On a separate line, indicate "Number of pages of the fax including the fax cover sheet" followed by a colon. You should count how many pages you will have to include, and then you put the number. This way will give the recipient an idea of how long the fax is. 

4. Write What the Fax Is All About

Put the word 'Subject', and the colon should follow. Then, include what the fax that you sent is all about. This thing will help the recipient know how vital the fax cover is. Some will put a simple message on the fax cover sheet. It's up to you if you will leave a little or long message for the recipient. 

5. Add Additional Details

For the recipient to know what to do or what to do next, add boxes for some details. The boxes may include: 'urgent', 'for review', 'please comment', 'please reply', and 'please recycle'. Just put a check on the box or boxes of what the recipient should do and understand. 

6. You Can Edit Your Fax Cover in Apple Pages

You can use Apple Pages to edit a fax cover, and you can edit your blank fax cover pages and fax cover sheet pages there. Online, you can download templates for fax cover, and there are available printable templates. You can check online for a fax cover sample pdf.
