# Single-sided board

Also called one-side coated board, coated one side

A board coated on one side only, the front, which takes the cover printing. Depending on the board, the reverse has only a lighter coating, or none, and does not print like the front. It is used for paperback covers.

## In practice

Say in your quote request whether the inside of the cover will be printed: that is what decides between a single-sided board and a board coated on both sides, which prints the same way on either side. On a single-sided board only the front is made for printing; a solid or a picture on the reverse, or inside the flaps, will not come out as it does on the front. With flaps, ask for the folds to be scored as well: scoring marks the fold line to make the folding easier.
