Create a professional fax cover sheet

A fax cover sheet is the first page of a fax. It tells the recipient who the fax is for, who sent it and what the document is about before they reach the main pages.

With Faxer, you can create a fax cover sheet online instead of formatting one manually. Add the information you need, review your fax cover page and use it with the documents you are ready to send.

A typical cover sheet can include:

  • Recipient name and fax number
  • Your name and phone number
  • Date and subject
  • Number of pages
  • A custom message or delivery instructions
  • A priority tag when needed: Urgent, Confidential or Please Respond

Customize your information

Only include the details that are useful to the recipient.

Add who the fax is going to, who it is from and a short subject that explains the purpose of the document. You can also include the total number of pages and a message if the recipient needs additional context.

For example, your fax cover page might contain the recipient’s department, a reference number or a short note explaining what action is needed.

Why use a cover sheet?

A cover sheet gives the recipient useful context before they open or process the rest of the fax.

It is particularly helpful when a fax number is shared by several people or departments. The first page can identify the intended recipient, explain what the document is about and show who sent it.

A fax cover sheet does not replace the documents themselves and is not required for every fax. Use one when it makes the transmission easier for the recipient to identify or process.

It can also help you:

  1. Make the recipient clear from the first page

  2. Provide your contact information

  3. Add a subject or reference

  4. Show the total number of pages

  5. Include a short message or handling note
