Double-Sided Letterheads
Double-sided letterheads maximise the value of every sheet by utilising both sides. The front carries your standard letterhead design — logo, contact details, and brand elements — while the reverse can feature terms and conditions, a list of services, office locations, certifications, or additional brand messaging.
At Perklets Print, double-sided letterheads are printed using full CMYK colour on both sides, giving you complete creative freedom for front and back designs. This format is particularly popular with legal firms, financial services, healthcare providers, and any business that needs to include standard terms or regulatory information with their correspondence.
The result is a letterhead that works harder for your brand — every document you send carries not just your header, but a complete brand story on the reverse. It is professional, practical, and cost-effective compared to printing separate inserts.

FAQs: Double-Sided Letterheads
What should I print on the back?
Common options include terms and conditions, a list of services, office/branch locations, certifications and accreditations, QR codes linking to your website, or subtle brand patterns.
Will the back print show through to the front?
With 120 GSM paper, light designs on the back are fine. For heavy ink coverage on both sides, we recommend upgrading to 160 GSM to prevent show-through.
Is double-sided more expensive?
Double-sided printing adds a small premium over single-sided due to the second print pass. However, it is far more cost-effective than printing separate inserts or enclosures.
Can I use different designs for front and back?
Absolutely. Front and back are independently designed. Many clients use a full branded header on the front and a minimal, text-focused layout on the back.
