A4 on 300gsm matte paper with a laminate coating is the most practical for table use in a busy cafe. The laminate finish makes it wipe-resistant, which extends the life of each menu significantly in a high-volume environment. For takeaway or counter service, a DL format in a card holder is the more compact and cost-effective option.<\/p>\n
How often should a restaurant reprint its menus?<\/h3>\n
Most venues reprint when they update pricing or add seasonal dishes, typically two to four times per year. If you are printing laminated menus on heavier stock, a smaller run reprinted more frequently is usually more cost-effective than a large run you cannot use once the menu changes.<\/p>\n
What size corflute sign works best as an A-frame insert?<\/h3>\n
A1 (594 x 841mm) is the most common A-frame insert size and fits the majority of standard hospitality A-frames. A2 (420 x 594mm) suits smaller frames or narrower footpaths. Always measure your frame before ordering.<\/p>\n
Can I use die-cut stickers on hot takeaway cups?<\/h3>\n
Standard vinyl die-cut stickers with lamination hold up to moderate heat and surface moisture but are not rated for direct contact with boiling liquids. For hot cups, apply the sticker to the sleeve or outer packaging rather than directly against the hottest part of the cup. For paper bags and sealed food packaging, they perform reliably at ambient temperatures.<\/p>\n
What paper weight should I use for promotional flyers?<\/h3>\n
For counter display and bag inserts, 150gsm gloss is the standard. It has enough rigidity to stand in a card holder without flopping and enough heft to feel like a considered piece rather than a throwaway. For letterbox drops where you are printing in large quantities, 115gsm gloss keeps the per-unit cost down while still printing well.<\/p>\n
How do I keep my branding consistent across different printed items?<\/h3>\n
Export a brand kit with your exact colour values (CMYK for print), your fonts, and your logo files before you place any order. Supply these to your print provider or use them in whatever design tool you are working with. When you reorder, use the same source files rather than recreating from memory. Colour variation between print runs is minimised when you keep all your production through the same supplier.<\/p>\n
Do I need to design my own menus and signs?<\/h3>\n
Not necessarily. Many businesses upload their own print-ready PDF and send it straight to production. If you need design help, Paperlust Print Shop works with your existing artwork or you can brief the team on a custom design. For artwork requirements, files should be supplied as PDF, SVG, or Adobe Illustrator with 3mm bleed and outlined fonts.<\/p>\n
