How do I choose between flat and folded menus?
Flat menus work for a single open view in DL, A5, A4 or A3. Folded menus such as A5 bifold, A4 bifold or gatefold, double gatefold, DL Z-fold or DL C-fold add panels for sections, specials or wine lists.
What is the difference between Standard Menus and Diecut Menus?
Standard Menus have straight edges. Diecut Menus use the same 170 gsm silk or 300 gsm matte stock range and fold options but follow a custom cut path for a shaped outline.
When should I choose Foil Menus or White Ink Menus?
Foil Menus add gold, silver, copper, rose gold or holographic foil to the front only or front and back. White Ink Menus print white text on dark papers like black, navy, forest green, seedling or burgundy.
What should I check on a menu proof?
Check size, fold placement, cut path for diecut menus and foil areas for foil menus. Also confirm the selected finish, including any laminate or foil area, and check artwork contrast on dark stock.

Material and finish choices
Standard and diecut menus use 170 gsm silk or 300 gsm matte. Laminate is available only on 300 gsm matte, in matte or gloss. Foil menus use 120 gsm matte, 170 gsm silk or 300 gsm matte, with foil on the front only or front and back. White ink menus use dark-colored papers: 270 gsm black, 270 gsm navy, 300 gsm forest green, 300 gsm seedling or 300 gsm burgundy. White ink prints on both sides.
Proof and setup
Prepare artwork to the selected finished size and fold. For foil menus, define each foil area clearly and review the selected finish on the proof. For white ink menus, keep contrast high so text remains legible on dark paper. Check the proof for cut paths, fold lines and foil zones before you approve the job.
