Italian term or phrase: b/v

non riesco a capire a cosa si riferisce la sigla *b/v* nel contesto "cartoline info b/v". Sono giunta alla conclusione che si tratta di un tipo di carta e si fa forse riferimento al colore della carta stessa, ma non riesco a risalire all'estensione né, ovviamente, alla traduzione in inglese....qualcuno può aiutarmi?
grazie

carta b/v
http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache:zmdf0-iSuyYJ:www.elleci...

b/v – bianco/volta

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=colori bianca/volta...

Which my Printers gloss says is:
bianca e volta / recto-verso recto /verso
bianca/volta della banda web, recto/verso

Means printed on both sides.
