Fact sheet

A fact sheet, factsheet, fact file or (in some industries) one sheet is a presentation of information and data in a format that emphasizes key points concisely, usually using tables, bullet points and/or headings, on a single printed page.

Fact sheets generally contain summaries of research, product information, technical data, lists, statistics, answers to common questions (e.g. FAQs), educational material, or how-to "do it yourself" advice. They are sometimes a summary of a longer document.
