They are double sided. Well the ones I got are the long rectangle shape. The material you print on is a fabric that looks like u can wipe it if it gets dirty. Not like a fabric that if it gets anything on it it will stain. Most others I seen had a fake black leather back. But I also seen some people reviews on this item seem to have that. Like most of these being sold here on Amazon. But the ones I got are the rectangle ones and they don't have that black back and mine are double sided for prints. I like the look of the black back but it seems to cause some people problem I'm guess they are using too High of a heat. Because mine still has the same hanging ring ribbon and that was perfectly fine in the heat press, did not melt. Got my first one right. I've had them for awhile but not I'm thinking I want to buy more. Because my lucky when i want more these will be gone and any others will suck. The transfer was beautiful. The image I included does it no justice. Definitely recommend.
