What is a fax cover sheet?

A fax cover sheet plays a crucial role when sending faxes online, ensuring the protection of your fax's contents once delivered. It serves to identify the sender, the recipient, the subject, and can also offer a brief overview of the attached document's contents. 

Beyond just safeguarding your message, fax cover sheets are versatile tools that can add clarity and detail about the recipient, enhancing the overall communication. Customize cover sheets with your branding or essential information to make your faxes stand out.
