FrontRückseiteAuslassung

FrontRückseite is a term used in German-speaking design and printing to describe the front and back faces of a physical object. The word is a compound of Front, a borrowed form of “front,” and Rückseite, the German word for the rear side. In practice, FrontRückseite denotes the two-sided design of an item, where both sides are intended to be viewed and interacted with.

Common contexts include business cards, posters, packaging, book covers, identification cards, postcards, and signage. The concept emphasizes that the front and back are planned as a coordinated unit, with attention to visual identity, legibility, and information architecture across both sides. It is often used to discuss how branding and messaging are maintained consistently on two sides of the same object.

Design considerations involve layout and typography on each side, color management for consistent branding, bleed and safe margins, and alignment between front and back when the item is printed in a single run. On the back, designers often include supplementary information such as contact details, legal notices, barcodes, or perforation lines. Production methods typically include offset or digital printing, with finishing options such as lamination, coating, or foil. Two-sided items may require careful stock selection to prevent show-through and ensure durability. The term FrontRückseite is more common in German-language contexts and may be used variably in international design to refer to any two-sided object.
